Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers Tell Listeners Not to Fund Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate Run

The on-air plea adds a cultural voice to growing questions about her statewide viability.

Overview

  • On the La Culturistas podcast, Matt Rogers said, “Don’t waste your money sending to Jasmine Crockett,” and Bowen Yang replied, “I must agree.”
  • Rogers argued she is too “well-defined” to win statewide and said, “If Beto O’Rourke couldn’t do it, Jasmine Crockett is not going to do it.”
  • Citing his regret over donating to Sara Gideon’s 2020 race, Rogers urged listeners to keep their money, with Yang adding that cash is “hard enough to come by.”
  • The episode also included reflections on past support for Hillary Clinton and criticism of Gavin Newsom’s political approach.
  • Out reported that Rogers voiced interest in Texas Democrat James Talarico as an alternative, and social media figures including Loni Love pushed back on the remarks; Fox News said it sought comment from Crockett’s office.
