Overview
- On Jan. 7, the Las Culturistas hosts told listeners, "Don't waste your money sending to Jasmine Crockett," with Rogers arguing she could not win a Texas Senate race and Yang agreeing.
- The remarks drew swift online criticism from listeners who said the framing toward the Black congresswoman echoed racist and sexist tropes.
- On Jan. 10–11, both posted Instagram statements acknowledging poor phrasing and pledging to use their platform more responsibly, while expressing respect for Crockett.
- Crockett, who launched her Senate bid on Dec. 8, faces a March 3 Democratic primary that includes state Rep. James Talarico, and she has not publicly responded.
- Salon, citing NOTUS, reported that the NRSC amplified favorable early polls to encourage Crockett's run, as some Democrats privately question her ability to win statewide.
