Crockett responds to Bondi’s ‘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 Democrat’s 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 don’t like Elon Musk, I’m 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.”
