Role at the time: U.S. representative, speaking in Houston
Statement summary
Crockett defends campaigning for local Democrats, saying their voters will also support statewide nominees.
“Guess what, the top of the ticket is going to benefit”
She justifies her choice to campaign down-ballot.
Role at the time: U.S. representative from Texas
Statement summary
Jasmine Crockett, responding to press scrutiny of her support for James Talarico, told her followers to point journalists to her March 4 post congratulating him on becoming the Democratic Senate nominee and calling on Democrats to rally around their nominees. She also said reporters should write about Ken Paxton and asked whether critics knew the other races on the Harris County ballot.
“Y'all are corny! I keep receipts. ... For the lazy journalists that you see, point them here”
The case asks whether Crockett should campaign for Talarico rather than focus on down-ballot races. Responding to press scrutiny of her support for him, Crockett told readers to point journalists to her March 4 post, which urged Democrats to rally around their nominees and said she would keep working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. We record this as Challenged the characterization because she disputes the premise that she has withheld support, without saying whether she will appear with him. Defended or excused is the closest competing label; it loses because she does not argue that her down-ballot focus justifies not campaigning with Talarico.
Role at the time: U.S. Representative for Texas's 30th congressional district, on her official X account
Statement summary
On X, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) linked the shooting of Garces Perez to the July fatal ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, called ICE a "rogue agency" that "continues to show no regard for human life," and said "we will not look the other way" and "we deserve a full, independent, and transparent investigation."
“Just two months after ICE murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, these unqualified ICE agents shot another man in Texas. This rogue agency continues to show no regard for human life, shooting people in the middle of the street and getting away with it. We will not look the other way. We deserve a full, independent, and transparent investigation.”
Relative to DHS's decision to have its own component lead the investigation into the shooting, Crockett directly denounces ICE as a "rogue agency" showing "no regard for human life" and rejects an ICE-led inquiry by demanding an independent one. Closest competing label: “Challenged the characterization” loses because she condemns ICE's conduct broadly, not merely a description of this incident.
Role at the time: U.S. Representative for Texas's 30th congressional district
Statement summary
Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Speaker Johnson sent the House home early to avoid impeaching Hegseth.
“MAGA Mike canceled votes and sent the House home early — to avoid impeaching failed reality star Pete Hegseth. Costs are up. Work is unfinished. And Republicans? Headed home to campaign on their failed policies. The American people deserve a Congress that actually shows up for work.”
Crockett calls Hegseth a 'failed reality star' and frames Speaker Johnson's cancellation of votes as an effort to avoid impeaching him, an express condemnation of Hegseth that treats the impeachment push as warranted and being dodged.
Role at the time: U.S. Representative, Texas 30th district
Statement summary
Jasmine Crockett voted Yea on H.Con.Res. 93, the House resolution directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.
“On Agreeing to the Resolution: Directing the President, pursuant to section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution, to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran.”
A yea vote supported directing the President to remove U.S. Armed Forces from hostilities with Iran, opposing continued U.S. involvement in the war without congressional authorization.
Role at the time: Member of the House Oversight Committee, in a post on X
Response to this claim
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said in House Report 119-831 that Leon Black willfully failed to comply with its June 26, 2026 deposition subpoena and document subpoena, and that his stated reasons for not complying are without merit.
“Leon Black didn’t show up for his Oversight deposition today — defying another congressional subpoena. ... Nobody is above the law. ... We’ve had enough with the games. Oversight Democrats are demanding he be held in contempt.”
Relative to the decision to hold Black in contempt, Crockett says Oversight Democrats are demanding contempt and that nobody is above the law. That supports the action itself before the committee or the House had acted.
Role at the time: U.S. representative and former Democratic Senate primary candidate
Statement summary
Crockett says she will spend her campaign time helping down-ballot candidates and explains why she considers that her priority in Texas.
“I will be campaigning down-ballot.”
Crockett defends her decision to focus on down-ballot candidates rather than join Talarico's campaign.
Role at the time: U.S. representative and original cosponsor of H.Res. 1177
Statement summary
Jasmine Crockett is named as an original cosponsor of the resolution seeking to impeach Hegseth. Its six articles allege misconduct involving military operations, sensitive information and congressional oversight. The measure was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.
“Action: Became an original cosponsor of H.Res. 1177, articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth, on April 15, 2026.”
The case concerns Hegseth's conduct and fitness to remain secretary. Co-sponsoring articles seeking his impeachment condemns the alleged conduct and supports his removal.
