Jasmine Crockett

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is hitting back over criticism that her leadership PAC has yet to endorse James Talarico.

Her fundraising committee, FIRE PAC, added 14 names to its list Monday of Democratic candidates it has been supporting for state legislative office and county judgeships in Texas ahead of the midterm elections in November.

But it did not include Talarico, the state’s Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, who defeated Crockett in a bitter primary in March. Crockett has alleged that racism contributed to her defeat and has since taken a step back from actively campaigning for him.

The announcement quickly prompted some Democrats to dish out harsh criticism of Crockett, accusing her of purposely snubbing Talarico, including former Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), who bluntly wrote in a post on X this week: “F--- her. That’s all I can say.”

“And that statement has nothing to do with blind loyalty to Dems,” Wild added. “It has everything to do with her being a narcissistic drama queen who has used her platform (such as it is) only to advance herself. Karma will suck.”

Crockett is now weighing in on the backlash, appearing to suggest that Talarico did not apply to be considered for an endorsement from her PAC.

“Now that I’ve disconnected, to do something fun, let me be clear: from now until Election Day, I won’t give an ounce of energy to addressing anything remotely negative or false & clearly this trend is going to continue,” Crockett posted on X late Tuesday. “...I’ll be sure to point to the real opposition & finally I’ll say thank you to the REAL ONES… that can always see through the BS."

Crockett went on to say that with more Democratic infighting, then “the less we are fighting the people that put us here… and love me or hate me, I DID NOT GET US INTO THIS BS!"

“I stand on my body of work that spans years that even preceded elected office & just like they divided & distracted folk during the presidential, they are doing it again,” she continued. “Nothing I’ve done has taken food, healthcare, nor jobs away from the people I swore to rep. I will use my influence to support those that support making lives better.”

In another post, Crockett attempted to simmer down perceived tensions between Talarico and her, pointing to her congratulatory message to him after her loss. She then cited downballot candidates that she has characterized as going unnoticed.

“Now do you know 5 of the other 103 races on the Harris County ballot?!” she wrote in another post Tuesday. “DID Y’all even know they have the longest ballot in the COUNTRY?!”

A number of users responded to her defense by asking her to endorse Talarico.

“Crockett is rapidly emerging as a top contender in an already highly competitive field to become quite literally the most insufferable person in all of Democratic politics,” one person replied.

Someone else said: “All you have to do is make a video/post saying you unequivocally support James Talerico over Ken Paxton and the media can shut the f--- up. But for some reason you appear unable to do that.”

“Embarrassing crash out,” another user wrote.

Talarico, meanwhile, said in July that he was “honored to have Crockett’s ”support and her endorsement.”

Crockett’s group has also not explicitly endorsed Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa.
