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.

I guess I don’t get it. Does she think she’s the one-and-only mouthpiece for the RATs?
She sincerely believes she’ll be POTUS some day. That attitude ... very off-putting.

What does this sentence mean?
On a different note... link doesn’t work.
Perhaps Crockett gets her wish after all?
It’s called ghetto privilege, even if, like Jasmine, you aren’t from the ghetto.
Popcorn getting pricey ❤️
Jasmine is a shrew that needs taming. IMHO she needs t9 meet a 6 ft. 5 in. lumber jack from Oregon who has been isolated i n the woods for a year.
She’s just one of those women who would benefit from being pregnant, barefoot and in the kitchen.
I agree. That topic sentence was poorly cobbled together.
I had to read it a couple of times before it made any sense.
I have noticed that Ms Jazzy has been a little bit quieter for the past few weeks. I thought maybe she had gone to the Dentist, who by necessity had wired her jaw shut. Temporarily.
She is like one of those entitled mouthy women who will destroy a Popeye’s Chicken place if her fries are cold.
Despicable, arrogant and not the Best of Texas...
I think it is missing several words
Crockett WHO reportedly WAS hoping to shut down THE piece because Godfrey HAD reached out to other Democrats. CROCKETT was roundly mocked by reporters for not understanding basic journalism.
Predictably vulgar.
What does it mean? The typist was conserving energy by not using commas.
“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.”
Having taken the same typing courses and intro jowhorenalism courses in my life, I simply inserted them into the sentence structure so it would make sense.
Public education victims… can’t get ‘em to work in the fields to pick our vegetables, or trust them to clean toilets or work at fast-food places; they all think they’re “better than,” full of false self-esteem.
Predictably vulgar.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Jasmine’s staff can read it here.
PBFIK. Its her density.
Needs an identifing noun or pronoun after first period. I prefer noun to provide clarity.
If one cannot write gracefully, at least be clear. The author is neither.
“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.”

“What does this sentence mean?”
Fox News put this out. It is not a sentence
It don’t diagram.!
Being Facetious
Maxine Water’s getting old. Someone has to replace her as queen bee. Might as well be Jasmine. That’s what all this is about, nothing more nothing less.

Yup
full of false self-esteem.
