Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett Faces Staff Abuse Allegations Amid Influencer Focus

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, known for her vocal opposition to President Donald Trump and rising profile in the party, has faced multiple allegations from former and current staff describing her as disengaged, rude, and volatile. Several sources reveal she often avoids being physically present in her Capitol Hill office, preferring to work remotely from her luxury apartment and demanding expensive rented vehicles like Cadillac Escalades for short trips to work, which staff view as a power play. Reports indicate a toxic work environment where Crockett frequently yells at employees, causing tears and high staff turnover due to fear of retribution. Critics also accuse her of focusing more on building an online influencer persona than on legislative duties or constituent services. Additionally, some former aides, including young Black women, have expressed disappointment over her treatment and sudden firings, contrasting with the expectation that working for a Black woman in Congress might be empowering. Crockett has not publicly responded to these allegations.
