Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, known for her outspoken nature, experienced another intense outburst while addressing a gathering of Democrats at an anti-Elon Musk rally. She proclaimed that her party would confront Republicans directly as a demonstration of democracy, alongside other peculiar remarks that were later criticized by conservatives.
To provide context, during a “Nobody Elected Elon” rally held in Washington, D.C., on February 4, 2025, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused Elon Musk of undermining the Constitution through his efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and corruption within the federal government. Additionally, the Democratic representative directed her comments towards Republicans, asserting that her party would be “on your a–es,” which elicited applause from an audience that included notable leftist figures such as Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA).
In her passionate address, Rep. Crockett vehemently criticized both Elon Musk and Republicans in general, stating, “We are not going to sit idly by while you proceed to desecrate our Constitution.” She further emphasized that her party would not allow Mr. Musk to “examine the laws that have been enacted and declare, ‘never mind, we’ll just disregard them.’”
Moreover, the representative declared that her party would be “in your faces,” referring specifically to Republicans. As the audience began to cheer, Rep. Crockett’s tone grew more fervent, and she gestured animatedly, asserting, “We’re gonna be on your a–es; we’re gonna ensure that you comprehend what Democracy truly entails.” She concluded with, “This ain’t it.”
Additionally, during her speech, Rep. Crockett expressed her appreciation to the Democrats present who had gathered to protest Mr. Musk’s position as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stating, “I’m going to do my utmost to refrain from preaching. I simply want to express my gratitude, because every day we appear in D.C., we do so for you.” She continued, “We are aware of whom we serve. We recognize that we work for the American people. And what we will not do is remain passive while they engage in this s–t.
Furthermore, Rep. Crockett addressed the audience, stating, “I understand that many of you have felt frustrated, and you’ve been expressing, ‘We’re Democrats—where are our leaders?’” She continued, “Well, I am here to assure you that we have never abandoned you.” Subsequently, the representative mentioned that she and her fellow Democrats on the House Oversight Committee were working to curtail Mr. Musk’s influence within the government, asserting, “‘Hold on a moment, we need to verify if you are permitted to enter.’”
Transitioning to another topic, the representative remarked that President Trump “enjoys associating with Putin” and made the unfounded claim that the president is “attempting to transform us into Russia.” She responded, “However, I have news for him: We the people will not yield.” She reiterated, “It’s chilly out here, and indeed—yes—we will not yield. We will not yield. We will not yield. We will not yield.”
In conclusion, Rep. Crockett stated, “There are individuals who have suggested that we may encounter a Constitutional crisis. I want you to be aware that the crisis is already present,” proceeding to quote Kamala Harris, who said, “‘Dark times may lie ahead of us. But she mentioned that it is only in the darkness that we can perceive the stars.’” She added, “The stars are right here. It is our moment to shine.”
