Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) has been accused of treating her staffers poorly, and even making an aide cry and seek to work from home.

The 44-year-old Texas Democrat rose to fame quickly in the Democratic Party, and was formerly a public defender and later a member of the Texas House of Representatives, as The Daily Mail reported.

She has made headlines more than once for her opposition ot the president, and even had a speaking spot at the Democratic National Convention last summer.

From Crockett

When asked about her treatment of her staff, she said, “Listen, goodness, I know that I have arrived, honey," essentially laughing off a question on CBS News

The alleged insider told The New York Post on Thursday that there were several former unnamed staffers fully willing to accuse the representitave of treating her staff abominably, up to and including verbally berating them.

"That is the way that I see this," the Texas Democrat went on. "Because as Beyonce says, if they’re not talking about you, then obviously you must not be doing anything."

Included in the New York Post report was the allegation that being talked about by those in the media was one of Crockett’s biggest goals since her 2023 election to office.

"The staff is really just an island unto itself, because she doesn’t care about the local issues happening in her district," one source told the news outlet. "She’s more focused on, ‘Get me on "The View," ‘Get me on this late-night talk show.’"

The lawmaker went on CBS News and sat for the interview to say that her skin color was the deciding factor in her story.

Crockett asserted that the comments are “just more slander, more nonsense, more lies.

“You and I were joking before we got on camera about all the scrutiny that comes with being not only woman, but being young, and being a black woman. Yeah, there’s a lot of scrutiny that comes my way, and it comes my way from all different angles."

When People Talk

According to the headline-grabbing Democrat, when a person of her stature is in the news, it’s because that person is “getting under [the talkers] skin.”

"So I am not going to give up,” Crockett said. “There is a song I like to quote once in a while. It says, 'Your hate is my motivation, so keep hatin.' All it does is motivate me to continue to do what I do, which is to be loud and proud on behalf of the American people."

Crockett is known to be one of the most vocal critics of Trump and his job in the White House. She has even gone so far as to call him a “piece of s***” and an “enemy to the United States.”
