According to reports from the New York Post, former staff members of Representative Jasmine Crockett have painted a troubling picture of her leadership style, characterizing her as a demanding and often unpleasant boss. They describe instances where she would shout at them, leading at least one staffer to tears. One anonymous source revealed that Crockett has a tendency to think she is her own best adviser, leading to a toxic atmosphere in her office, where she quickly dismisses press personnel, believing she can handle all press-related activities herself.
Many staffers pointed out that Crockett is frequently absent from her workplace in the Longworth House Office Building, choosing instead to work from a luxury apartment close to Capitol Hill. Her primary focus appears to be on appearing on television and cultivating a social media presence, with staff members feeling they are expected to cater to her glamorous lifestyle, even going so far as to rent luxury vehicles for her travel needs.
Former aides shared frustrations about her disengagement from the office and her attention to creating viral content over legislative responsibilities. One of them remarked on her tendency to focus on producing media clips rather than being actively involved in their work. Reports include instances where she appeared without care for the opinions of those around her—scolding a staffer for a vague note and criticizing the appearance of food brought to her. The Atlantic also highlighted concerns about her demeanor toward staff, further drawing attention to her leadership and priorities. As of now, Crockett's office has not responded to these allegations.

We should celebrate a woman making waves in politics, even if her method is unconventional. Keep pushing, Jasmine!

Everyone has their own leadership style. Maybe this is just how she inspires her team to perform?

Public servants should serve their constituents, not their egos. This behavior can't be tolerated.

I can't believe we have elected someone who would rather sit in a luxury apartment than serve the people.

I admire her ambition! We need representatives who are visible and active, even if it means making tough calls.
