Fox News has revealed that, in the second major money scandal involving far-left Democrat Jasmine Crockett, the foul-mouthed congresswoman blew almost $75,000 on high living.
The leftist from Texas spent the campaign funds doing the town in such places as Chicago, New York City, and Martha’s Vineyard, the home and vacation destination of the far-left, hate-Trump Democratic elite.
The wasted money isn’t a good look for Crockett. Last month she was accused of shenanigans with required disclosures of her massive stock portfolio.
Not that she cares, as her chronic outrageous behavior shows.
Cui Bono?
Though Crockett represents Texas’ 30th District, which includes big city Dallas, the kooky congresswoman flitted about not only high-flying Martha’s Vineyard, but also Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and other big cities.
“Crockett’s filings show her campaign spending $25,748.87 since January on high-end hotels and limousine services,” Fox reported:
The hotel expenses include $4,175.01 at the Ritz-Carlton and $2,304.79 at The Luxury Collection. Other hotel expenses include $5,326.52 to the West Hollywood Edition in Los Angeles, $1,173.92 to the Times Square Edition in New York City, over $2,000 to the Cosmopolitan and Aria resort in Las Vegas and $2,703.14 to the Edgartown Inn and $3,160.93 at The Coco, both in Martha’s Vineyard.
Prices for a room at the Ritz-Carlton vary, and can reach more than $2,000 per night depending on location. But the five-star West Hollywood Edition charges $687 per night for a standard room with a king bed, Kayak says.
As for other expenses, Crocket threw away $6,292.30 on limousine services. One of those services was Chicago’s Transportation 4 U.
In its client gallery on Yelp, Transportation 4 U, which says it specializes in providing “top-tier limousine experiences tailored to your needs,” posted a picture of Crockett with the caption: “We were honored to provide transportation services for Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett during her visit to Chicago.” Crockett is pictured smiling and dressed casually in a red sweater.
Crockett is also the big hypocrite. She doesn’t believe her own press releases. In 2021, she explained why police must be defunded.
“The Defund movement seeks to actually bring about healing and finally invest in our communities to make them safer, addressing the root causes of crime and by allowing the professionals to do their respective jobs,” Crockett said:
Defund is about finally being smart on crime. Defund is about lightening the load for our officers of all things they didn’t sign up for. Defund is about finally being fiscally responsible when it comes to policing in this state.
But she can afford private security, which explains why her campaign blew $50,000 on it.
Stock Trouble
Crockett is no stranger to scandal.
Last month, the Washington Free Beacon disclosed that Crockett “owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she’d quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator.” Nor did she disclose the holdings when she landed in Congress in 2023.
Crockett holds stocks in companies that can gain from her position in Congress, and “and others that stand in opposition to the image she’s cultivated as a champion of green energy,” the website explained.
Her holdings in 2021 were “sizable.” She owned shares in Big Tech, Energy, and Pharma, along with shares in the auto and marijuana sectors. She “did not disclose owning any of those same stocks in her first congressional financial disclosure, which also covered her financial holdings during the 2021 calendar year,” the Free Beacon explained.
Crockett’s portfolio of blue-chip and other stocks is impressive. It includes “Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and ‘Corporate Cannabis’ and ‘Stocks Worldwide.’”
Loose Cannon
Aside from that small matter, Crockett landed in hot water in March for comments about Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott, whom she called “Governor Hot Wheels.” That comment invited a censure motion.
Crockett later said that “I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition — I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.”
Abbott, 67, was paralyzed in a freak accident when he was 26. An oak tree crushed him while he was jogging.
Before attacking Abbott, Crockett said that Texas GOP Senator Ted Cruz “has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right?”
She also called hearings about National Public Radio “bullsh*t,” then assaulted a reporter by aggressively trying to snatch his camera. Loomer Unleashed correspondent Charles Downs asked about a Tesla Takedown meeting at which Crockett said she wanted Tesla chieftain Elon Musk “taken down” for her birthday. When he asked whether Crockett condoned violence, she grabbed for his camera.
The reporter filed a complaint with Capitol Hill police that is under investigation by the U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C.
In August, commentator Benny Johnson posted a video about Crockett’s well-to-do upbringing that belies her claims that she’s a “ghetto girl from the Hood.” In fact, Crockett was educated at fancy private schools, including the private Rhodes College in Tennessee, where tuition and room and board is almost $80,000 a year. She spoke normal English before she began what Johnson called “code-switching.”
