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 must like it rough, being whipped like a desert camel as she is ridden over the beach dunes of Al Wakrah’s pirate coast.
So now we know where she gets her campaign money, from the Muslim Brotherhood ( CAIR) in Texas.They will beat her mercilessly when she loses.
She should lose her next election.
Poster Child for the IQ-Gap.
They are a meter for the sickness of the DNC
When I was in prison in 12969, there were a few that were always referred yo as "black muslims" . . . . I mean they all WERE black and black was only just beginning (to THIS white boy) to becoming a common descriptor.
Jus' sayin'
I think Malcolm X would refer to her as a house slave for progressives.
This vile thing
was caught collecting her dead mothers SS 2000 a month check since 2012.
Why is her jail
time???
Where is the doj
Hello Pam
Yep, and educated in private schools all her life. Wouldn’t know the real Hood Life if it begged her all night long. Just keeping it real to perpetuate the class and race warfare to continue to grift her way into office. Her parents have to be so proud along the same lines of the silly whites who pretend to be black.
straight out of hip hop Atlanta, what a piece of work
That’s a lot of cotton pickin money.
Fake white wimmin wig too.
So, Crockett is not just a loud-mouthed racist, she is also crooked. Who would have guessed?
I would have used more appropriate words for Jasmine like traitor, power-crazed, and corrupt.
Next, I would demand a microscopic examination of her deeds back to birth. Find out who, exactly, is paying for this POS and then indict her and her cohorts.
What next, paying for a boyfriend with taxpayer funds?
Even Liberal Blacks are embarrassed by her antics.
She drops into ghetto voice whenever she thinks necessary...........
