In a powerful and unfiltered appearance on MSNBC, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a rising Democratic star, took direct aim at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, calling out what she views as blatant hypocrisy, misinformation, and corruption in today’s political and corporate climate.
What began as a sharp defense of one of Greene’s own constituents escalated into a full-scale takedown of political posturing, GOP narratives, and what Crockett described as “fraudsters running this country.”
Crockett Slams Marjorie Taylor Greene: “She Clearly Reads on a First Grade Level”
Congresswoman Crockett did not mince words after a clip aired showing Marjorie Taylor Greene dismissing concerns raised by a local constituent, Sarah, during a tense town hall discussion on Greene’s support of Elon Musk and DOGE.
“This is coming from someone who clearly reads on a first grade level,” Crockett said, responding with exasperation. “So I don’t know why she’s trying to clown Sarah, who obviously is a constituent of hers.”
Crockett’s comments referenced Greene’s increasingly controversial role in overseeing the House subcommittee on digital assets, including DOGE (Dogecoin), a cryptocurrency Musk has championed online. Instead of focusing on real threats like cybersecurity breaches or foreign interference, Crockett said, “We’ve had to have hearings about whether we should get rid of Sesame Street.”
Elon Musk in the Crosshairs: “Trashy Teslas” and Union Complaints
Crockett didn’t stop at political critique. She turned her attention to Elon Musk, whose companies Tesla and SpaceX have both faced scrutiny from labor organizations and federal agencies.
MSNBC host Symone Sanders pointed out Musk’s previous clashes with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), noting his apparent attempts to deflect attention using Dogecoin tweets and social media antics. Crockett agreed and expanded on the concerns:
“We know that he was under investigation… and when it came down to the inspectors general—the people that are supposed to be impartial watchdogs—this was one of those watchdogs he wanted gone almost immediately.”
She then emphasized that the Inspector General who would have overseen the probe into Musk’s companies was removed, raising red flags about transparency and accountability. “So we don’t have the inspector general that would’ve been overseeing that investigation—nor any of the investigations around his trashy Teslas either,” Crockett added.
“Democrats Are the Swamp?” Crockett Pushes Back on GOP Narratives
Taking a broader view, Crockett addressed what she sees as misleading narratives promoted by some Republican leaders, especially the idea that Democrats represent “waste, fraud, and abuse” within government.
“I got news for you: the only fraudster that we see is the one that was actually convicted of fraud in a court… the one who was also found liable as it relates to his businesses for fraud. Him and his goons are the problem in this country right now,” Crockett declared, in an apparent reference to former President Donald Trump.
She passionately defended the integrity of public servants and government workers who risk their careers to uphold democratic values, calling on Americans—regardless of political party—to stand on the side of truth and justice.
“Right now, the only thing I’m asking of Americans is to decide that you’re going to be on the side of right. And right now, everything about this administration is wrong.”
Concerns About National Security and Foreign Influence
Perhaps one of the most serious moments came when Crockett raised national security concerns, citing the potential for Russian infiltration of U.S. digital platforms and systemic failures to address it.
“For all I know, they just gave over the login information,” Crockett said, expressing frustration over the apparent lack of urgency or transparency from Republican leaders. “This administration wants to cozy up to Russia in all ways.”
She also criticized recent Republican efforts to antagonize international allies like Canada and Mexico while seemingly ignoring or downplaying threats from authoritarian regimes.
Final Thoughts
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s appearance on MSNBC was more than a soundbite—it was a full-scale call to action. Her unapologetic criticism of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Elon Musk, and elements of the GOP reflects growing tensions in Washington as the 2024 election season intensifies.
Whether or not you agree with her politics, Crockett has firmly positioned herself as a bold and fearless voice within the Democratic Party—one unafraid to speak out, challenge misinformation, and hold both political and corporate power to account.
