Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) lashed out Tuesday at journalists questioning her support for her former Democratic primary rival James Talarico — but still stopped short of offering a fresh endorsement of the party’s Senate nominee in the angry post.
“Y’all are corny! I keep receipts,” Crockett wrote on X. “I’ll be happy when people either give a damn about FACTS or news media goes back to the news instead of deciding to ride the tabloid lane.”
“NOW FOR THE 1000th time maybe write an article about KEN F—— PAXTON,” she added. “Y’all all sound like corny groupie a– OPS!”
Crockett was responding to renewed scrutiny after her FIRE PAC unveiled 14 endorsements Monday in Texas state and local races — with Talarico notably absent. The Washington Post reported Tuesday that the PAC still has not endorsed Talarico, nor has she campaigned alongside the state representative, months after he defeated Crockett in a bitter Democratic primary.
But in her statement on Tuesday, Crockett pointed to a March 4 post she made after her defeat, where she told followers that she called Talarico and congratulated him on becoming the nominee.
“Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person,” Crockett wrote at the time. “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win.”
“I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect democrats up and down the ballot,” she added.
But Crockett’s Tuesday response did not include a new endorsement of Talarico by name. Instead, she lashed out at reporters.
“Now do you know 5 of the other 103 races on the Harris County ballot?!” Crockett wrote. “Mind the business that pays you. “
She ended with another shot: “For the lazy journalists that you see, point them here.”
Y’all are corny! I keep receipts. I’ll be happy when people either give a damn about FACTS or news media goes back to the news instead of deciding to ride the tabloid lane. NOW FOR THE 1000th time maybe write an article about KEN F*in PAXTON. Y’all all sound like corny groupie… https://t.co/O7IxM0EsO5 — Jasmine Crockett (@JasmineForUS) September 29, 2026
