The Democratic congresswoman had it with the attorney general after she warned Crockett to "tread very carefully" with her Elon Musk criticism.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) schooled Attorney General Pam Bondi with a lesson on free speech Wednesday after Bondi demanded the congresswoman to cool it with her criticism of billionaire Elon Musk.
“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 at a House judiciary committee hearing on Wednesday.
“She is the highest law enforcement agent in this country, and people are watching, and they are consuming this information.”
Crockett continued, “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 took to Fox News last week to tell Crockett that she needs to “tread very carefully” after the congresswoman, during a livestream event hosted by a group protesting Musk’s Tesla company, revealed that her birthday wish was for “Elon to be taken down.”
