Trump critic Rep. Jasmine Crockett is a no-show boss from hell who terrorizes staffers, aides say: ‘All diva, no wow’
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
WASHINGTON — Rep. Jasmine Crockett has positioned herself as an unfiltered critic of President Trump, earning regular TV appearances and an enthusiastic online following, but congressional aides tell The Post that the Dallas Democrat is just as “rude ” and mean to her own staff.
The liberal loudmouth, 44, has rocketed to fame since taking office in January 2023 as a fiery antagonist of the Republican president and his allies .
But three sources who have worked with or for Crockett say she’s rarely present when TV cameras aren’t rolling — and terrorizes staff when she does appear.
Crockett is not often found at her government-provided suite in the Longworth House Office Building, with one insider saying she prefers to work from her nearby luxury apartment building, sometimes for weeks on end.
“She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them,” the former aide said.
“She is never in the office and is very disengaged. She does her bulls— that goes viral, and then freaks out over the most random things.”
A second source close to Crockett’s team added: “It is widely known that she’s not nice to staff and is just not a really dedicated member focused on constituents.”
“She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress,” said a third source who has worked with Crockett, describing her as “all diva, no wow.”
When Crockett does show up for work on Capitol Hill — often to attend a committee hearing where she deploys a made-for-social-media attack on Trump — she prefers to have a staff member drive her the short distance to her office in a rented car rather than the staffer’s own, a cheaper option commonly used by lawmakers.
The staffer is expected to stand outside the vehicle, which “has to be an Escalade” or similar upscale make, and open the door for her.
“You’re technically allowed to do this but it’s wildly inefficient. Instead of using the scheduler’s car, she rents a car every week in DC,” one source said.
“She expects her staff to drive her around while she’s in the back seat,” they added, calling it a “power play” akin to “treating the staffer like an Uber driver.”
Crockett, a former criminal defense attorney and Texas state legislator, burst into the national spotlight in May 2024 when she attacked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) at a committee hearing for having a “bleach blonde bad built butch body” after Greene ridiculed her “fake eyelashes.”
While Crockett tried to fundraise off the “Real Housewives”-style viral clash , the congresswoman’s staff — which includes multiple gay and lesbian members — were left with mixed feelings.
Complaints poured in from lesbians who objected to Crockett’s derogatory use of the term “butch” to attack Greene, which even left some aides uneasy.
“She told her gay staff members, ‘That’s not offensive. You’re stupid if you think so,’” a former aide recounted to the Post. “It was kind of like how Trump says, ‘ The gays love me .’”
Three months later, Crockett was given a coveted speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention, where she ripped the former and future president as a “vindictive, vile villain.”
‘Toxic staff environment’
Crockett has burned through employees at such a pace that she’s becoming known as a present-day version of the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), long called the Capitol’s toughest boss.

A number of staff have become fed up with their treatment, while others have either been fired or left on their own — a distinction often difficult to discern in Washington.
Some former aides cited fear of retribution when declining to participate in this story.
“She thinks she’s her own best adviser, she knows best, and has this toxic staff environment,” a source said. “She gets rid of press people because she’s like, ‘I do all of the press stuff.’”
On one occasion described to The Post, Crockett reduced a legislative aide to tears, bellowing: “Do you really want to be here? And if not, you can leave!”
Another aide, a young black woman, was fired abruptly and confided to a colleague: “I don’t want to hear Jasmine Crockett talk about helping black women when she just fired one for no reason!”
Capitol Hill jobs often are filled based on personal connections and openings are circulated among friend groups.
A source told The Post that a job listing for Crockett’s team recently was shared among a large group of black Democratic women — but nobody expressed interest in the gig.

None of this will hurt her with progressives.

What far right rag is this story from?
Never mind, I got it. New York Post.
And no problems with her behavior, I'm sure.

LOL
Just imagine if someone on this site made accusations like this - about anyone. You’d demand evidence, right? Citation to a source?
And if they just challenged you to disprove it, you’d call bullshit, wouldn’t you? You see it all the time. People say, “you made the claim. It’s up to you to support it.”
Well, that’s what we have here with this story - accusations with no support.
Now multiples sources are no support.
good stuff.
Multiple? They don’t even identify one. They also did no work to actually confirm any of the allegations.
I mean it’s not like she’s grabbing anyone by the pussy.

evidence? Citation to a source?
Evidence of what, exactly?
This is a very sophomoric game you’ve been playing Tacos.[✘]
This is terrible journalism.
Who?
Present for what, exactly?
Is there some reason she should be found there?
Which is it? She’s indifferent? Or screaming at them? Both wouldn’t make sense.
Then we probably don’t need to treat it like a scandal.
Oh? Do tell. How many? What are their names? Seems like that should be researchable public information.
The NY Post is a dreadful newspaper, and this is a great example of it. I’m not saying it’s false or that I condone anything, if true. But this story offers zero support for the allegations made.
I dont care if Crockett yells at her staff. I dont condone it, but it is not important. I have a very strong feeling that there are Republican politicians that yell at their staff. A large percentage of these people think their shit doesnt stink.

‘Ketchup dripping down the wall’: 5 stunning moments ... - POLITICO
After then-Attorney General William Barr gave an interview to The Associated Pressin December 2020 saying there was no widespread voter fraud, Trump was so enraged that he threw his plate of food at the wall, smearing it with ketchup, Hutchinson said. “There was ketchup dripping down the wall and a shattered … See more
Trump does it therefore it's okay is just perfect. He goes from the worst person in the world to your standard of behavior depending on the post.

Trump does a lot worse things than throw ketchup at walls.
This should be no surprise to anyone. Use your own eyes. I don’t need a journalist to spell it out for me. She thinks she’s hot shit. Above everyone else. It’s easy to see if you open your eyes.
My prediction for her:
She will flame out on this scandal or that. Likely a financial scandal or perhaps administrative.
Folks like her who think they are better than everyone else all flame out.
It’s inevitable.
