Well, well, well. Jasmine Crockett — the Democrat congresswoman who’s been threatening, mocking, and flailing her way through every microphone in Washington — has finally landed herself exactly where this train was always headed:
Facing assault charges.
Yep. After weeks of headline-grabbing outbursts — wishing Elon Musk would be “taken down,” saying Ted Cruz needs to be “knocked over the head,” and mocking wheelchair-bound Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” — Crockett has now allegedly put her hands on a journalist.
And this time, there’s video.
The Moment It Went Too Far
Independent journalist Charles Downs was doing what journalists are supposed to do — asking questions — when Crockett smacked his phone mid-recording in a House office building. The footage clearly shows her reaching out and knocking the device away as Downs tries to ask about her involvement in an anti-Tesla activist call.
Downs has filed a police report with Capitol authorities and submitted an ethics complaint. And he’s not stopping there — his legal team is exploring assault, battery, and attempted theft charges.
Let’s be real here: if the political roles were reversed, this would be a front-page scandal with calls for expulsion. But since she’s a Democrat, the mainstream media’s coverage is more “Oops! She did a silly!” than “This is a serious abuse of power.”
Crockett’s New Police Escort — You Paid For It
The cherry on top? Crockett is now strutting around Capitol Hill with a Capitol Police escort — all at taxpayer expense.
She assaults a journalist, and somehow she gets the security detail?
Only in D.C., where victimhood is a currency and accountability is dead on arrival.
This Isn’t Her First Public Meltdown
Now, if this were an isolated incident, we might chalk it up to a bad day. But with Jasmine Crockett? This is part of a pattern. And the dots are connecting fast.
Just weeks ago, she joined an anti-Tesla “takedown” Zoom call where she said, on camera:
“On March 29th, it’s my birthday, and all I want is for Elon to be taken down.”
Not to be outdone, she then publicly fantasized about knocking Senator Ted Cruz “over the head. Like, hard.”
She said it with a smile — like it was just spicy rhetoric. But imagine if Ted Cruz said she needed to be “knocked over the head.” Democrats would be howling for a resignation before the sentence finished.
Oh, and let’s not forget her now-infamous dig at Texas Governor Greg Abbott:
“Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there… and the only thing hot about him is that he’s a hot ass mess.”
This is a man in a wheelchair, paralyzed after a tragic accident. But Crockett, with a microphone in hand and no self-awareness in sight, decided mocking a disabled man was a great way to rally the crowd at a Human Rights Campaign dinner. Classy.
This Is What Democrat Leadership Looks Like Now
Jasmine Crockett isn’t an outlier. She’s the new blueprint.
She doesn’t write legislation. She writes Twitter threads.
She doesn’t build coalitions. She builds viral outrage clips.
She doesn’t serve the people. She serves her personal brand — one tantrum at a time.
The Democrats keep telling us they’re the party of compassion, reason, and decency. Yet here stands one of their rising stars — assaulting reporters, fantasizing about violence, and mocking disabled public servants — and somehow we’re supposed to see this as progress?
Please.
Pam Bondi Lays Down the Law
Former Florida AG Pam Bondi, never one to bite her tongue, called Crockett’s antics exactly what they are: dangerous.
After Crockett’s Musk comments and a wave of suspicious incidents at Tesla facilities in Texas, Bondi demanded accountability:
“She must apologize immediately not only to all Texans, but to our country… She is promoting violence.”
Bondi’s warning: elected officials don’t get to say inflammatory things, then pretend like they’re just joking when real-world consequences follow.
She’s right. There are consequences to this kind of behavior — or at least there should be.
Meanwhile, Crockett Plays the Victim
When called out, Crockett ran straight to MSNBC — where bad behavior gets spun into bravery — and declared:
“I have never promoted violence… I just won’t be silenced.”
Ah yes, the classic “I’m the real victim” maneuver. Textbook D.C. damage control. But no amount of TV appearances can change the fact that there’s now a police report with her name on it. And if the video evidence is as clear as it looks, her defenders are going to have a hard time spinning this one.
Final Thoughts
Jasmine Crockett has been spiraling publicly for weeks, and now her reckless, aggressive behavior has crossed the legal line. Assaulting a journalist isn’t just bad optics — it’s a crime. And no amount of progressive privilege or MSNBC puff pieces should excuse that.
This isn’t leadership. This is narcissism wrapped in faux activism.
If the Democrats want to keep parading Crockett around as the face of their future, fine. But don’t expect the rest of us to take their talk of “decency” and “civility” seriously.
Actions speak louder than hashtags.
