Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) has come under fire after recent comments have left spectators calling her “unhinged” after it appeared like she made threats of violence toward Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
According to Fox News, Crockett said Cruz “has to be knocked over the head, like hard,” which got a response from Cruz in the form of a meme posted to X.
The comments garnered a response from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who told Fox News in an interview that Crockett needs to be censured by Congress for her comments about Cruz and that Tesla CEO Elon Musk should be “taken down.”
“Your words have consequences, and look what happened after she said that about Elon Musk … This morning three explosive devices were found in Austin, Texas,” Bondi said. “So, she needs to inequivalently denounce the violence, she must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country.”
“She is promoting violence … I believe she probably will be censured by Congress for saying that,” Bondi said.

Crockett made the remarks during an interview where she said Democrats can win elections in Texas if they “punch” before saying Cruz needed to be “knocked over the head.”
“I think that you punch. I think you punch, I think you OK with punching,” Crockett said. “But, like, its Ted Cruz. I mean this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like, there’s no niceties with him. Like at all.”

Crockett also caught heat for saying during a “Tesla Takedown” call that all she wants for her birthday is to see Musk “taken down.”
“I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money,” she said.
