Rising Democratic star Jasmine Crockett allegedly creates a toxic work environment while prioritizing media appearances over congressional duties.

According to the Daily Mail, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who has quickly become a prominent voice in the Democratic Party since taking office in January 2023, faces serious allegations from former staffers who describe a nightmarish work experience. The Texas congresswoman, known for her frequent appearances on CNN and MSNBC, has been accused of screaming at staff, making employees cry, and rarely showing up to her Capitol Hill office.

Former aides paint a picture of a representative more focused on viral moments than constituent service. "She is laying around her apartment, won't come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them," one former aide told the Post. Another source described her as being "all diva, no wow," highlighting concerns about her priorities.

Diva Behavior and Staff Treatment Raises Concerns

The 44-year-old congresswoman reportedly prefers to be driven around in rented Escalades rather than staff vehicles, expecting aides to open her door.

When Crockett does travel to Capitol Hill, sources claim she demands special transportation arrangements. Unlike many representatives who use schedulers' vehicles for transportation, Crockett allegedly insists on renting Escalades weekly and expects staff to chauffeur her while she sits in the back seat. One source described this behavior as a "power play," noting that she treats staffers "like an Uber driver."

Former employees also describe incidents where Crockett berated staff to the point of tears. In one recounted incident, when confronted with a crying staffer, she allegedly asked, "Do you really want to be here? And if not, you can leave!" Such interactions have reportedly contributed to high staff turnover, with many employees either being fired or quitting.

Media Ambitions Over Congressional Duties

Insiders suggest the congresswoman focuses on television appearances rather than legislative responsibilities. Crockett's critics claim she prioritizes media attention over her congressional responsibilities.

"She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress," one source revealed. This alleged preference for the spotlight extends to her press team, with the congresswoman reportedly questioning why she needs press staff given her own media savvy.

The former public defender has gained prominence through confrontational exchanges with Republicans, including a memorable clash with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. However, her comments during that exchange reportedly created tension with her own LGBTQ staff members. When they expressed concerns about her use of the term "butch" during the confrontation, Crockett allegedly dismissed their discomfort, telling them, "That's not offensive. You're stupid if you think so."

Documented Public Behavior Supports Claims

A recent magazine profile captured some of Crockett's controversial interactions with staff. Crockett's treatment of staff hasn't been limited to private settings. During an interview with The Atlantic magazine, she reportedly scolded a staffer in front of the reporter for leaving an unclear note on her schedule. In the same interview, when presented with lunch, she allegedly looked inside and commented, "This looks like crap."

The congresswoman's office did not respond to requests for comment from either the New York Post or Daily Mail regarding these allegations.

The accusations come at a time when Crockett's national profile continues to rise, having been given a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention last summer and maintaining a regular presence on cable news programs.

Growing Political Influence Despite Workplace Concerns

Despite the troubling allegations about her management style, Crockett has continued to build her political brand through vocal opposition to President Donald Trump and frequent media appearances. Her confrontational style has earned her supporters within the Democratic Party, even as former staffers raise concerns about her behind-the-scenes behavior.

The contrast between Crockett's public persona as a fierce advocate and the allegations about her private conduct raises questions about leadership styles in Congress.

While the congresswoman has yet to address these specific claims publicly, the reports could potentially impact her rising political trajectory if more former staffers come forward with similar accounts.
