Is there a viral video clip in which Ivanka Trump calls Jasmine Crockett "ghetto trash" and did CeeDee Lamb or another athlete then calm things down with a quote about "tearing other people down"? No, that's not true: The story contained several verifiably false details and was promoted by a Facebook page managed from Poland, Vietnam and Brazil. Searches of various social media platforms brought up no such clip but did turn up quasi-identical variations of the story in which other athletes were mentioned, such as Jordan Love, J.J. McCarthy, Aidan Hutchinson and Lamar Jackson.
The most viral version of the story appeared in an article (archived here) published on a website named "Green Top" on October 14, 2025 under the bizarrely long headline "BREAKING NEWS 🏈🔥: Chaos erupted on live TV after 𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐦𝐩 called Jasmine Crockett "ghetto trash" -- but just seconds later, Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb shocked everyone by speaking up live. His voice broke the chaos: "You can't preach about class by tearing other people down -- that's not strength, that's fear." In just minutes, the clip reached 50 million views -- fans called it... - smp". It opened:
It was supposed to be another heated primetime panel -- politics, pop culture, and football in one segment. But what happened next lit up the internet.
During a live broadcast of "America Now", Ivanka Trump stunned viewers by referring to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett as "ghetto trash."The studio went silent. Then came the shouting.
Producers scrambled to cut to commercial, but clips had already started to spread online.
Within minutes, hashtags like #IvankaTrump, #JasmineCrockett, and #LiveTVChaos exploded across social media.No one expected a football player to become the calm in the storm.
But seconds later, a familiar voice broke through the chaos -- the unmistakable Texas drawl of CeeDee Lamb, star wide receiver of the Dallas Cowboys.
The story was also promoted through a Facebook post (archived here) on a page named "Blue Star Brotherhood".
This is what the image used in the Facebook page looked like:

The story claimed:
Within ten minutes, the clip had passed 50 million views across TikTok, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
However, a Google Search for links on X, Instagram and TikTok mentioning "Ivanka Trump", "Jasmine Crockett" and "CeeDee Lamb" only returned three results (archived here), none of which were the promised clip.
The story also claimed that "Fox analyst Skip Bayless, a longtime Cowboys commentator" tweeted:
"CeeDee Lamb just became bigger than football. That was pure class."
However a search on X shows that nobody has posted that phrase there at all (archived here).
Lead Stories identified several other Facebook post attributing the same quote in the same supposed incident to athletes Jordan Love, J.J. McCarthy, Aidan Hutchinson and Lamar Jackson:
