Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) lashed out at an Atlantic magazine reporter last week after the journalist reached out to other House lawmakers as part of a profile on the far-left congresswoman. 

“[F]our days before this story was published, Crockett called me to express frustration that I had reached out to so many House members without telling her first,” Atlantic writer Elaine Godfrey noted in her story, which was published by the magazine on Sunday. 

“She was, she told me, ‘shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,’” Godfrey continued.

It’s unclear how Crockett intended to shut down the profile or why she fumed over the reporter contacting other lawmakers, which is standard journalistic practice. 

Crockett’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment. 

The profile included quotes from several House Democrats praising Crockett. 

“I don’t want people to lose sight of the fact that this is someone with a very fine, legally trained mind,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) said of the Texas Democrat, who graduated from the University of Houston law school and is a former public defender. 

“People don’t necessarily agree with her aggressive communication style,” Rep. Julie Johnson (D-Texas) said. “I’m thrilled she’s doing it, because we need it all.” 

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) told the outlet that Crockett is “one of the strongest fighters we have,” and that Democrats “should be taking notes on the kinds of skills she exemplifies.”

However, Godfrey noted that several other Democrats refused to discuss Crockett on the record. 

Senior Democratic staffers explained that some of Crockett’s colleagues find her “undisciplined” but are “reluctant to criticize her publicly.” 

“She likes to talk,” one of the staffers told Godfrey. “Is she a loose cannon? Sometimes. Does that cause headaches for other members? 100 percent.”

During her time with Crockett, Godfrey observed that the congresswoman “speaks casually” and “can also be brusque.”

Crockett also “monitors social-media engagement like a day trader” and is “highly conscious” about her “self-presentation,” the reporter found. 

“During many of our conversations, Crockett wore acrylic nails painted with the word RESIST, and a set of heavy lashes over her brown eyes,” Godfrey wrote, noting that “the lock screen on her phone is a headshot of herself.”

The post Jasmine Crockett tried ‘shutting down’ Atlantic reporter for asking lawmakers about her for a friendly profile appeared first on New York Post.
