Crockett Faces Backlash After ‘White Girl’ Removed From Her Campaign Rally
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing criticism after The Atlantic staff writer Elaine Godfrey reported that she was removed from a Crockett Senate campaign rally in Lubbock by armed security guards Godfrey wrote Thursday that she was “thrown out” of the event after being identified by members of Crockett’s team and labeled a “top-notch hater.”
“Right before armed guards escorted me from the rally and left me on the edge of a Texas-county road, I was informed that I was no longer welcome at an event that I had already attended,” Godfrey wrote.
According to her account, she had spent approximately an hour at the rally, reporting from the press area and interviewing attendees, before being approached by a woman wearing a badge.
“‘Are you Elaine?’ she asked. I recognized her from the entrance of the event, where I had identified myself as she’d waved me into the building’s press area. Yes, I answered. ‘Her team has asked you to leave,’ she said. When I asked why, the staffer looked at her phone and read dutifully: ‘They just said, “Elaine from Atlantic, White girl with a hat and notepad. She’s interviewing people in the crowd. She’s a top-notch hater and will spin. She needs to leave,”‘ Godfrey wrote.
Godfrey’s account prompted swift reaction online, with critics questioning Crockett’s handling of media access as she seeks higher office.
Following publication of the article, Crockett disputed the allegation that the reporter had been removed from the event. Speaking on Wednesday with CBS journalist Shawna Mizelle, Crockett said there was “no evidence” that the Atlantic reporter was kicked out of the rally. She characterized the controversy as “silly season” and suggested that there was a “specific journalist” present who has a “history of being less than truthful” and had previously lost a lawsuit against her.
Godfrey responded to that claim in her article, writing: “Perhaps she was thinking of someone else, because that’s not something that has ever happened to me.”
The exchange added to tensions between Crockett and the reporter, who previously authored a July profile of the Texas congresswoman. Godfrey wrote at the time that Crockett reacted negatively to the inclusion of comments from fellow House Democrats in the piece.
“She was, she told me, ‘shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,’” Godfrey wrote in reference to Crockett’s response during the reporting process.
Despite the objection, the profile was ultimately published and included remarks from other Democratic lawmakers.
The latest episode has drawn commentary from journalists and political observers across the ideological spectrum.
Former CNN journalist Chris Cillizza wrote on X, “This is so bad by @JasmineForUS. Not ready for primetime sort of stuff.”
Journalist Zaid Jilani questioned the political implications of the incident, writing that he did not understand “how in the world” Crockett expects to “win over enough Texans” if she “can’t get along with Atlantic magazine reporters,” noting that many of them “vote Democrat.”
A pro-Democrat Mormon account on X argued that if Crockett “cannot handle questions from The Atlantic, and can’t do it without her staff calling the reporter a ‘white girl….top notch hater’ she will never survive the election.”
Another user described the episode as “Amateur night in Texas from the entire Crockett team.”
Former Bulwark editor-in-chief Charlie Sykes wrote, “Apparently, Jasmine Crockett has a problem with critical media.”
Crockett, who has drawn national attention in recent years for her sharp exchanges with political opponents, is running for U.S. Senate in Texas. The Lubbock rally was part of her campaign outreach efforts in the state.
As of Thursday, Crockett’s office had not issued a detailed public statement addressing Godfrey’s account beyond her comments disputing that the reporter had been removed. No video of the removal has been publicly released, and no additional campaign staff have provided on-the-record explanations of the decision.
The incident underscores the scrutiny candidates face in statewide races, particularly when disputes with members of the press become public. With the Texas Senate contest expected to draw significant attention, questions surrounding media access and campaign conduct are likely to remain part of the broader political conversation.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
