Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a loud Trump critic and rising star of the radical left, just got a rude awakening from the liberal media she thought was on her side.
Crockett Melts Down Over Basic Journalism
In an astonishing move, Crockett reportedly tried to shut down a profile being written about her in The Atlantic — all because the reporter dared to contact other Democrats without her approval.
Author Elaine Godfrey stated that Crockett contacted her four days prior to the article’s release, insisting the profile be scrapped. According to Godfrey, Crockett said she was “calling off the profile and withdrawing all approvals.”
Despite the tantrum, the profile went live — and what it revealed was even more damaging.
Democrats Turn on One of Their Own
Godfrey said dozens of Democrat lawmakers declined to comment on Crockett, while others privately described her as “undisciplined” and a “headache.”
A Democrat staffer, speaking anonymously, told Godfrey, “She definitely talks a lot… Is she unpredictable at times? Yes. Does that create problems for other members? Absolutely.”
The report featured input from high-profile Democrats like James Carville and Rep. Julie Johnson (D-TX), but the silence from Crockett’s colleagues spoke volumes. Democrat infighting was on full display — and Crockett found herself isolated.
Media Piles On: “That’s Not How Journalism Works”
Crockett’s effort to kill the piece backfired spectacularly, triggering widespread mockery — even from left-leaning reporters.
NBC’s Sahil Kapur posted, “That is not how any of this works.”
Reporter Jim Stinson remarked that Rep. Jasmine Crockett seems to think she can cancel a journalist’s profile about her—calling it a clear sign of ignorance.
National Review’s Noah Rothman joked, “Dang. That usually works, too!”
Crockett Attacks AOC and Bernie, Too
In a rare moment of candor, Crockett even took a swipe at far-left icons Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, accusing them of being too self-centered during their “Fighting Oligarchy” tour.
“It kind of makes people be like, Oh, it’s about them, right? Instead of the team,” Crockett said — a line sure to further divide the Democrat base.
Bottom Line: Another Left-Wing Meltdown
Rep. Jasmine Crockett thought she could control the press, silence her critics, and blame others when it backfired. Instead, she exposed the dysfunction at the heart of today’s Democrat Party.
