‘Keep Hating’: Former Staffers Try to Take Down Jasmine Crockett With ‘Boss from Hell’ Smear, But the Attack Backfires in Spectacular Fashion

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is unfazed by new accusations that she’s a “no-show boss from hell who terrorizes staffers,” according to allegations laid out in a new report about the congresswoman.

One of the most vocal and fiery opponents of President Donald Trump, Crockett often finds herself at the center of a viral moment for the sharp and cutting critiques she makes against the president and the Republicans who support his political agenda.

But congressional aides who work closely with the congresswoman claim that Crockett displays an entirely different demeanor behind closed doors, according to a newly published New York Post article.

Staffers accused her of creating a “toxic staff environment,” and fixating on being an “influencer,” rather than stewarding her position faithfully as a public servant for the constituents in her district.

They also claimed that she’s verbally lashed out at legislative aides, treated staff members like chauffeurs, and makes “a spectacle and a show” about Trump at almost every congressional hearing, even those in which the president is not the focus of the committee meetings.

Crockett responded to the accusations on “The Takeout with Major Garrett” on CBS News.

“Are you a no-show boss from hell who terrorizes staffers?” Garrett asked, eliciting laughs from the congresswoman.

“Oh my goodness,” she replied. “I know that I have arrived, honey. That is the way that I see this. Because as Beyoncé says, if they’re not talking about you, then obviously you must not be doing anything.”

The 44-year-old congresswoman called the accusation “slander,” “nonsense,” and “lies,” while talking about the scrutiny that comes with being a young, Black female member of Congress.

“There’s a lot of scrutiny that comes my way, and it comes my way from all different angles, but when people start talking about you, that’s when you know that you are obviously getting under their skin,” Crockett remarked. “So keep hating. All it does is motivate me to continue to do what I do, which is to be loud and proud on behalf of the American people.”
