Jasmine Crockett Defies Pam Bondi’s Fox News ‘Threat’: I’ll Say It ‘50,000 Times!’

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.”

Crockett was encouraging peaceful protests like the Tesla Takedown movement. But in some instances, Tesla dealerships have been the target of vandalism.

Bondi falsely suggested that Crockett was calling for physical attacks aimed at Musk — who has backed federal spending cuts and firings under President Donald Trump — and stressed that the congresswoman should apologize to Tesla shareholders.

On Wednesday, Crockett said the “rest of us” can’t get “whatever federal contracts we want,” get protection from federal law enforcement and get their businesses protected by the federal government like Musk.

“That is somebody who is operating above the law,” she said.

Crockett said she was “happy” to see peaceful protests on her birthday, March 29, around the world against Musk before turning her attention back to Bondi.

“She knew good and well if she watched the entire thing that I specifically told protesters to make sure you consult with lawyers, just like I told protesters over and over and over in the history of me advising people to go out and exercise their constitutional right,” she said.

“The fact that there are other sitting members that have received letters of threat from this new DOJ tells me that they are about retribution, and they are not about following the law.”
