Rep. Jasmine Crockett Under Fire for Controversial Remarks and Federal Scrutiny

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), a member of the progressive bloc often referred to as “The Squad,” is facing renewed criticism over remarks that some have interpreted as confrontational, as well as a separate federal investigation into her campaign finances.

In a recent interview with former television host Don Lemon, Crockett discussed her Republican colleague, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). When asked if she was concerned about Greene or her supporters becoming physical, Crockett responded, “I don’t worry about her doing anything physical… Plus, I think that she may be concerned about what I can do physically.” Crockett, a former criminal defense attorney, said she doesn’t see Greene as a physical threat.
