Jasmine Crockett allegedly tried 'shutting down' Atlantic piece after reporter contacted other Democrats
Fox News ^ | 7/28/25 | Lindsay Kornick

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, allegedly told The Atlantic she was "shutting down" its profile of her after learning the author had reached out to other Democrats without telling her.

Staff writer Elaine Godfrey described in an article on Sunday that Crockett called her four days before the piece was published "to express frustration that I had reached out to so many House members without telling her first."

"She was, she told me, ‘shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,’" Godfrey wrote.

Despite this assertion, the article was published and included comments from both Crockett and other Democratic figures.

Democrats quoted in the article included progressive strategist Max Burns, strategist James Carville, Texas state Rep. Toni Rose, and U.S. House Reps. Julie Johnson of Texas and Robert Garcia of California.

Godfrey added that she reached out to several other Democrats who "seemed uninterested" in commenting.

"Thirteen of her colleagues on the Oversight and Judiciary committees, along with 20 other Democratic members I contacted for this story, either declined to talk with me on the record or didn’t respond to my interview requests," Godfrey wrote. "Senior staffers for three Democratic members told me that some of Crockett’s colleagues see her as undisciplined but are reluctant to criticize her publicly."

Godfrey also added a comment from an anonymous staffer.

"She likes to talk," the staffer said. "Is she a loose cannon? Sometimes. Does that cause headaches for other members? 100 percent."

Crockett reportedly hoping to shut down a piece because Godfrey reached out to other Democrats was roundly mocked by reporters for not understanding basic journalism.

"That is not how any of this works," NBC News political reporter Sahil Kapur wrote.

Crockett creates new white racists every day—because the Democrats in Congress pretend she is normal.

“She’s just one of those women who would benefit from being pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen.”

....except certain things and instances...
Covid scamdemic
Safe and effective vaccine foistings
The 2020 stolen election
The J6 crimes against patriots
Weaponization of government against a sitting President.
Assassination attempts on President Trump( crickets!!!)
DOGE wins
Crime wave coverups
And most importantly, the sentiments of the populous of this Country

The fake news media has failed us

Ben Franklin them with our own media.

This makes absolutely no sense. Crockett doesn’t want an article that portrays her as a loose cannon who causes problems? That calls her ghetto? I would think that she would love that. That is her brand. She should be shutting down the articles that investigate the fact that, until recently, she didn’t talk or act “ghetto” at all and that her current act is, well, just an act.
