(DCNF)—Republican Texas Rep. Brandon Gill said Wednesday that Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is hurting her own Senate campaign by attacking the very voters she needs to win.
Crockett jumped into the Senate race Monday after months of hinting she would run if polling suggested she had a viable shot. Appearing on “The Evening Edit,” Gill responded after Crockett criticized Hispanic voters who supported President Donald Trump.
“Whenever you hear the words that she said very directly, it was pretty pejorative. And you know, I think she’s realizing now that demonizing your own potential voters isn’t actually a very compelling election strategy,” Gill told host Elizabeth MacDonald.
Gill added that Democrats have promised for years to flip Texas blue, only to fall short every cycle.
“Democrats have been talking for a long time about how they’re going to try to flip Texas blue, and they’ve never been successful. It’s all talk,” Gill said. “Colin Allred tried to do it, and he couldn’t. Beto O’Rourke tried to do it, and he couldn’t. And Jasmine Crockett can’t do it either. This is a state that the president won by 14 points.”
Former Democratic Texas Rep. Colin Allred lost his 2024 Senate bid to Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Former Texas Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke also fell short against Cruz in 2018. Crockett told supporters she believes her approach can finally turn Texas blue, saying sustained grassroots work will make the difference.
Gill pointed to the state’s political makeup as the clearest indicator that Crockett’s uphill climb is unlikely to get easier.
“It’s a state that is 40% Latino. It is not going blue anytime soon. This is the home of conservatism in Texas. And Jasmine Crockett, I think we all know, and she knows, that she’s not a very compelling candidate for this state,” Gill added.
Crockett came under fire after Jake Tapper pressed her on past remarks comparing Trump-supporting Latino voters to having a “slave mentality,” a characterization she said Vanity Fair overstated. She said she was describing a small segment of voters, not all Latinos, while adding she finds their support for Trump difficult to understand.
“No, and that’s not what that said at all, to be clear. It did not say that every Latino has that type of mentality,” Crockett said. “No, no, but slave, the ones that vote for people who believe in strong or Trump’s immigration policy. So I don’t believe that the people that voted for Trump believe in what they’re actually getting.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
