Race-baiting Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made a wicked personal attack on First Lady Melania Trump’s qualifications and intellect during a House hearing, and it completely backfired on her via a surprising source.
After slamming President Trump’s immigration policies during Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing, Crockett decided to make things personal and go after his wife to paint the GOP as hypocrites.
“Since we’re talking about integrity, I’m confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren’t talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president’s family’s visas, she whined.
“Melania, the First Lady, a model, and when I’m talking about model, I don’t mean Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, or Naomi Campbell-level, applied for and was given an EB-1 visa,” she added. “And what that stands for is an Einstein visa.”

Crockett, who is not exactly an Einstein, then attempted to explain how one obtains this visa while suggesting that the First Lady got one through suspicious means.
“Now, y’all that don’t know, let me tell you how you receive an Einstein visa. You’re supposed to have some sort of significant achievement, like being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize or a Pulitzer, being an Olympic medalist, or having other sustained extraordinary abilities and success in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics”, she stated.
Last time I checked, the first lady had none of those accolades under her belt. It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathin’ here.”
The Cato Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh, who was testifying at the hearing, interjected by saying, “Not everybody could marry Donald Trump, and I think that’s quite an achievement, so I think she deserves credit for that. Nobody up here could have done it!”
Crockett responded: “You sure are right, I couldn’t have done it.”
Melania moved to the US in 1996 on a tourist visa, which was then converted into a work visa as she started pursuing her modeling career in New York City. She received her Einstein visa in 2001, four years before marrying Donald Trump.
The Einstein visa rewards people with “extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics through sustained national or international acclaim.”
The candidate then must fit three of the ten criteria as required by the U.S. government:
• Evidence of receipt of lesser nationally or internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence
• Evidence of your membership in associations in the field which demand outstanding achievement of their members
• Evidence of published material about you in professional or major trade publications or other major media
• Evidence that you have been asked to judge the work of others, either individually or on a panel
• Evidence of your original scientific, scholarly, artistic, athletic, or business-related contributions of major significance to the field
• Evidence of your authorship of scholarly articles in professional or major trade publications or other major media
• Evidence that your work has been displayed at artistic exhibitions or showcases
• Evidence of your performance of a leading or critical role in distinguished organizations
• Evidence that you command a high salary or other significantly high remuneration in relation to others in the field
• Evidence of your commercial successes in the performing arts
Following Crockett’s rant, an old New York Times article went viral. It turns out the liberal paper interviewed several lawyers in 2018 while investigating Melania’s “Einstein” status.
And guess what? Most thought she deserved the visa.
For example, Atlanta lawyer Marshall Cohen, who specializes in EB-1s, told the Times he would have taken Melania on as a client without hesitation.
“I am assuming she made a lot of money, got a lot of press, and was on the cover of magazines,” he said. “She was probably a pretty easy case.”
“Do we need more foreign fashion models? Some might say no,” Cohen added. “We might need more chemical engineers. But if there is a fashion model at the top of her field, she could qualify.”
