Liberal firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) took almost $400,000 from political action committees, despite claiming otherwise, documents seen by The Post reveal.
A 2020 tweet sent by the 44-year-old congresswoman — recently blasted for referring to disabled Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Hot Wheels” — claimed she had accepted “zero dollars” from corporate PACs while her opposition had taken $192,000.
However, campaign finance disclosure data for the period between July 5 and Dec. 31, 2020, show a different picture. Disclosures from when she ran for state representative of District 100 in the Dallas area show 22 different entries from donors described as PACs, giving between $500 and $5,000 to her campaign.
Prof. Matthew Foster, a lecturer on government at American University, told The Post: “What’s controversial about [PACs] is people fundamentally see it as an issue of buying one’s support
“Democrats are more sensitive to this. They know people look at their contributions and use them against them. Candidates and campaigns may avoid accepting them because of the optics as the average person fundamentally finds this very icky and sleazy and corrupt. It’s a visceral reaction.
“Clearly [Crockett] thinks that issue is a big deal and a way to resonate with voters — so if what they put out there was false, it’s a great opportunity for the opposition to run on that.”
Crockett, who previously practiced as a lawyer, draws a $174,000 annual salary as a member of the House of Representatives. She appears to have fully embraced traditional PACs in the years since her tweet.

She’s got some cotton-picking nerve!
This doesn’t necessarily make her a hypocrite because her actions were expected and is totally in line with the type of low-life character she is, but this certainly does make her a liar.
Keep the money. There’s nothing she can do for Hamas. The doners are chumps.
Put this lunatic in the same category as that bimbo AOC and maxipad waters and don’t forget the terrorists ilhan omar & rashida tleib. Need to get rid of all these crazy congresscritters.
I can’t decide if her normal (white) way of speaking was an act or if Ghetto speak is her primary language and normal English is her secondary.
Either way - she’s a ho.
One might believe she was being groomed by the islamofascistnazis. However, she already belongs to The Party of Death, The Party of Hate, so no grooming or indoctrination is necessary.
She is well educated in private schools with mostly whites. Prior to her new gig as congress woman she spoke eloquently with no ghetto accent. Now she pretends to be ghetto. She is nothing except a highly educated left wing progressive pretending to be what she is not.
Per the famous Sienfied episode, Fake Fake Fake!
Bribery is such an ugly word.
Being a hypocrite is the least loathsome part of her character.
Jasmine went to PRIVATE schools and colleges and NEVER talked ghetto until very recently! Her parents are at least upper middle class.
She’d take money from Satan himself.
Eagerly.
Kneegress please
Little Missy Jazzy and her Little Pony. At least we know why she wants America overflowing with illegal aliens. It is to clean her toilets and she ain’t pickin’ no mo cotton.
Jazzy is just a worthless DEI (didn’t earn it) hire.
