Trump Renews IQ Attacks on AOC, Crockett

Former President Donald Trump renewed his attacks on Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett by questioning their intelligence and suggesting they take IQ tests, citing his own perfect score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment—a dementia screening tool rather than an IQ test. His remarks have drawn criticism and mockery on social media for conflating cognitive and IQ tests. The controversy escalated after AOC accused Trump of withholding FBI Epstein files for personal reasons, which he denied while continuing his criticisms of her and other Democrats. Critics have highlighted that Trump's IQ-related attacks are frequently aimed at women of color, raising concerns about their relevance and appropriateness. The exchanges have occurred amid broader partisan disputes over transparency and accountability in the Epstein case. The incident reflects and deepens ongoing polarization between conservative and liberal commentators.
