Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, fired back at critics during an interview on Monday — including former "Saturday Night Live" star Bowen Yang and podcaster Matt Rogers, who both urged people not to "waste" money on her Senate campaign — and others who expressed doubts over her ability to win.

"There’s a viral podcast clip from Bowen Yang, a comedian, and Matt Rogers, a podcaster, and they question your prospects and even discourage people from contributing to you," Jaime Harrison, former Democratic National Committee chair and host of the "At Our Table" podcast, told Crockett. 

"And you’ve heard the phrase, ‘She can’t win in Texas,’ that you’re already defined, and now we’re hearing it from folks who have these major platforms. Even, we heard from Stephen A. Smith, who had critiques about you. Tell me what do you think when you hear those things?"

"Yeah, people are afraid. And it’s not afraid of me losing. They are afraid of me winning, actually. That’s what I hear. What disappoints me is when I hear things from the left, I expect to hear certain things from the right, right? So that’s fine," Crockett responded.

JAMES CARVILLE BLASTS CROCKETT FOR BREAKING 'FIRST RULE OF POLITICS' FOCUSING ON HERSELF MORE THAN VOTERS

Yang and Rogers discouraged people from donating to Crockett's campaign earlier this month after criticizing certain politicians for making their campaigns "too obviously about themselves." Rogers said there was no chance Crockett would win a race in Texas. However, the pair both apologized for their comments after facing backlash.

Texas has not elected a Democratic senator since 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen won re-election.

Crockett dismissed internet chatter about her chances, and suggested that the people doubting her might be getting paid to do so.

"I will also tell you that, you know, the internet is not a real place. And you should oftentimes ask yourself, is somebody paying for this? If so, who do we think may be paying for it? That kind of stuff," she said.

Crockett said she won every election she's ever run in because of the people, and added that she has a lot of small donors to rely on. The lawmaker said that she was already preparing for rhetoric that will come if she does win.

"We’re already preparing for the rhetoric once we’re done, right? I win, they’ll say, 'Oh, well, yeah. She won on a fluke. She won because of a wave.' It won’t be because I actually got out and worked and am now running on maybe a total of eight to 10 hours of sleep over the last weekend. It won’t be because I worked, it won’t because me and my team were focused on Texans," she said.

Other Democrats have voiced concerns about Crockett’s ability to win statewide in Texas.

"She might win a primary, but she ain't winning a general in Texas," one senior House Democrat told Axios in December.

"It's concerning for [swing] districts ... I think it's a bad decision," another Democrat told the outlet.

Crockett is running against state Rep. James Talarico, D-Texas, in the primary.

A far-left activist who organized the storming of a Christian church on Sunday to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement previously praised convicted law cop killer Assata Shakur.

Nekima Levy Armstrong, who, according to her website, is a civil rights lawyer and "scholar-activist," helped to organize the storming of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

Armstrong posted a video of the protest, which she referred to as "our demonstration." The video showed dozens of agitators streaming into the church and shouting anti-ICE slogans. Armstrong claimed that a pastor associated with the church is also involved with ICE.

In the post, she wrote, "It's time for judgment to begin and it will begin in the House of God!"

Armstrong is a former law professor turned full-time activist. In several posts on her Facebook page, she espouses far-left views and activism. She has also been a key organizer of the boycotts against Target over its decision to scale back its diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

In an opinion piece published in The Minnesota Star Tribune in July, Armstrong advocated for a boycott of Target, accusing the store of having "rolled back its DEI efforts, pulled inclusive displays from shelves and aligned itself with the very forces attacking democracy and racial progress."

In a Sept. 26 post, Armstrong had high praise for Shakur, who was convicted of the murder of State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1977. Armstrong called her "a brave, wise, powerful, and revolutionary Black woman."

Shakur, whose birth name was Joanne Chesimard, died in Havana on Sept. 25, decades after breaking out of prison and escaping to the communist island. She was a member of the Black Liberation Army, which the FBI describes as "one of the most violent militant organizations of the 1970s."

Shakur was convicted of the murder of the state trooper, who left behind a wife and 3-year-old son, during a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1973. She was found guilty of first-degree murder, armed robbery, and other crimes and was sentenced to life in prison. She escaped from prison in 1979 and lived underground before surfacing in Cuba in 1984.

The FBI and the New Jersey attorney general each offered a $1 million reward for her capture, and in 2013, she was added to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List.

In her post, Armstrong wrote, "We will continue to recite the Assata Shakur chant at the end of protests and demonstrations in her memory," adding the hashtag "#AssataTaughtMe."

Fox News Digital reached out to Armstrong for comment but did not receive an immediate response.
