\n\tDonald Trump<\/a> bragged about acing a cognitive test he took at Walter Reed Medical Center earlier this week, claiming that \u201clow IQ\u201d Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> and Jasmine Crockett<\/a> wouldn\u2019t be able to pass it. Crockett accepted his challenge during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> Live last night. <\/p>\n

\n\tDuring his monologue, Jimmy Kimmel continued discussing Trump\u2019s assertion, reminding viewers that he wants to facilitate the challenge on air. He explained the event could be \u201cbigger than the Super Bowl and Jake Paul fighting Dick Van Dyke combined.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel played a clip of Trump proclaiming, \u201cThey have Jasmine Crockett, a low IQ person. They have\u2014AOC\u2019s low IQ. You give her an IQ test. Have her pass the exams that I decided to take. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe host responded, \u201cI agree. It sounds like a challenge. Now as I\u2019ve mentioned, not only do I want to see this contest happen, I want to make it happen. I believe this will be a once-in-a-lifetime television event. I want to give our brilliant, bigly-brained president a chance to teach those left-wing lightweights a thing or two about brain power live on national television. I\u2019m calling it: The James C. Kimmel Cognitive Aptitude and Mental Brilliance Invitational.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cNow, all we need are the contestants. I\u2019ve already invited the president and I\u2019m sure he\u2019ll accept. And let\u2019s now meet his potential competitor.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tCrockett then joined the show via video call. \u201cThank you for joining us,\u201d Kimmel said. \u201cI assume you are aware of the fact that the president, for whatever reason, has challenged you to a duel of the medulla.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI am very well aware,\u201d Crockett said. \u201cI know that he can\u2019t seem to find himself in the Oval Office to make sure that he can end this shutdown, but he does have time to troll me. So, listen, if he\u2019s down, I\u2019m down.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDo you notice any kind of a pattern when it comes to people he frequently refers to as \u2018low IQ\u2019 people?\u201d Kimmel asked. Crockett replied, \u201cThey tend to be women, and they tend to be women of color.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKimmel then quizzed Crockett with a few questions of \u201cthe sort Trump got on his cognitive assessment test.\u201d He showed her a drawing of an elephant and asked, \u201cCan you name this animal?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Crockett answered correctly, Kimmel quipped, \u201cWow, you\u2019re gonna crush this.\u201d At the end of the call, Kimmel asked for confirmation that Crockett accept\u2019s Trump\u2019s challenge. \u201cOh, I absolutely accept it,\u201d she replied. <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this week, Kimmel latched on to Trump\u2019s inability to tell the difference between a cognitive assessment test and an IQ test. \u201cThere\u2019s only one way to find out,\u201d Kimmel said of Trump\u2019s claim that he could beat AOC and Crockett. \u201cLet\u2019s do it on TV. Let\u2019s put together the biggest and greatest IQ test of all time. Donald Trump vs. Jasmine Crockett. Crockett vs. Tubs.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump bragged about acing a cognitive test he took at Walter Reed Medical Center earlier this week,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[78231,65,156,78232,688,7182,17758,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-108717","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-alexandria-ocasio-cortez","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-jasmine-crockett","12":"tag-jimmy-kimmel","13":"tag-jimmy-kimmel-live","14":"tag-late-night-tv","15":"tag-new-zealand","16":"tag-newzealand","17":"tag-nz","18":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
