Overview
- On Las Culturistas, Matt Rogers told listeners "Don't waste your money" on Rep. Jasmine Crockett's Senate bid, and Bowen Yang said, "I must agree."
- Rogers argued Crockett cannot win statewide in Texas, citing Beto O’Rourke’s past loss, and he highlighted James Talarico as an alternative.
- The episode was Yang’s first since leaving Saturday Night Live, drawing additional attention to the exchange.
- The comments prompted online criticism from creators and public figures, including comedian Loni Love, who challenged their assessment.
- Coverage of the race notes Crockett, a progressive congresswoman, holds a narrow early polling edge over Talarico with strong support from Black voters.
