\u201cHe\u2019s never been known to be an Einstein,\u201d she told CNN<\/a>\u2019s Kaitlan Collins<\/a>. \u201cThis is not a guy who got in on merit when it came to going to college. This is someone who, but for him being born with a silver spoon, probably wouldn\u2019t have gotten into anybody\u2019s institution, unlike me.\u201d <\/p>\n

She said she could \u201cguarantee\u201d that Trump\u2019s IQ \u201cqualifies as low\u201d \u2015 if he\u2019s even taken a test recently \u2015 and said she is waiting for a reporter to ask for his IQ given how often he brags about it. <\/p>\n

Trump earlier Monday claimed he had taken an \u201captitude\u201d test, but what he described was actually the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s meant to check for signs of cognitive problems and dementia, and is designed to be easy to pass<\/a> for someone with normal cognition.<\/p>\n

Trump on Monday again bragged about passing, then claimed that neither Crockett nor Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> (D-N.Y.) could pass that same test.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Crockett noticed a pattern in the president\u2019s attacks, pointing out that he \u201cconsistently is obsessing over two women of color.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it,\u201d she said, urging him to \u201cfocus on his real job\u201d instead of obsessing over her.<\/p>\n
