Crockett responds to Bondis threat over Musk criticism
by Tara Suter - 04/02/25 6:17 PM ET
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Wednesday pushed back against Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Justice Department head criticized the Texas Democrats comments about tech billionaire Elon Musk being taken down multiple times.
To have her go on Fox News, and to then decide that she wanted to send a threat to me, it was wrong, Crockett said during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing.
Because here it is, she is the highest law enforcement agent in this country and people are watching and they are consuming this information, and they are believing that simply because I decided that I wanted to exercise my right to free speech which I am not abridged from doing that she then wanted to then politicize something that should not be politicized. I dont like Elon Musk, Im going to say it 50,000 times.
Bondi has taken two recent swings at Crockett on Fox News, one on March 23 and one last week, over comments Crockett made during a livestreamed event last month in which she said that all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.

(210 posts)Sure looks like Ivanka (in the dark). Creepy. Remember when we were afraid the Justice Department might be weaponized, and "Lawfare" was a Commie Pinko tool? THEY WARNED US!!!!! Intimidation and Persecution against law firms and they... capitulate??????? What use are Spineless Attorneys in an Existential Crisis? This is our only hope. Where are the Constitutional Scholars, and why is there no protection there? At what point does this become a (well-planned!!!!) conspiracy that at least deserves investigation, considering 1 (ONE!) lie was enough to derail the country when one guy did what surely most of his accusers would have done? Isn't there one Actionable LIE among the thousands discharged on America?
Ms. Crockett shows the spirit we need going forward. I think she understands where we are, who they are, and the importance of Resistance. More of Her, Please. Please.
