If you ever wondered why Congress struggles to get things done, stories like this help explain it.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, is facing serious allegations from her own former staffers about how she treats the people working for her.
According to a New York Post report cited by Fox News, Crockett’s Washington office is described as a toxic workplace where staff are berated to tears, treated like personal servants, and left to carry the weight while their boss focuses on her public image.

Rarely in the Office Unless Cameras Are Rolling
Multiple sources, including a former aide, claim Crockett is hardly ever in her congressional office unless there’s a camera crew around. Instead, she allegedly prefers to work from a luxury office building in D.C.
That means her staff – paid by taxpayers – are left holding the bag when it comes to actually helping constituents and moving legislation forward.
“She’s rude, she’s indifferent to staff, and she screams at them,” the former aide told the Post. One source said Crockett “freaks out over the most random things” and spends more time building her social media presence than working on district issues.
When your representative is more interested in being an influencer than doing the job voters sent them to do, the people back home lose. And in Congress, where every vote counts, that affects everyone – including here in Nevada.
Treated Like Chauffeurs, Not Staff
Another allegation is that Crockett has her staff drive her short distances around D.C. in a rented Escalade or similar luxury SUV and demands they open the door for her.
Sounds like a scene out of a celebrity gossip magazine – but this is a sitting member of Congress, and those rental fees don’t pay themselves.
Staffers also said gay employees in her office were upset after Crockett used the term “butch” during a heated exchange with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Crockett reportedly dismissed their concerns instead of addressing them. So much for the “tolerant left”.
Why This Matters to Nevada
Some might ask, “Why should Nevadans care about what a Texas congresswoman does?”
Here’s why: the same culture that lets members of Congress treat their offices like personal playgrounds is the one that drives the bloated salaries, waste, and entitlement mentality we see in Washington.
Nevada taxpayers help fund every congressional office, not just our own. When members like Crockett are accused of acting like D.C. royalty, it’s a reminder that the swamp mindset doesn’t respect state lines.
It also speaks to a larger problem: Congress is supposed to be made up of public servants, not public celebrities.
Representatives, whether Republican or Democrat, should be in the trenches working for the people who sent them there – not hiding out in luxury suites or chasing media clout.
What Her Defenders Say
So far, Crockett hasn’t been charged with any crime, and there are no reports of official ethics complaints filed against her.
Supporters might argue that former staffers can sometimes be disgruntled or exaggerate personal disagreements. They might also point out that politicians are often under intense stress and scrutiny.
But even if every detail in the Post story were exaggerated, the core allegations – that she’s rarely in her office, treats staff like hired help, and spends more time on personal branding than public service – fit a troubling pattern we’ve seen with too many in Congress.
When Public Servants Forget Who They Serve
For Nevadans who care about accountability in government, this story is a reminder that the problems in Washington aren’t just about policies – they’re about priorities.
Do our elected officials see themselves as servants of the people or as celebrities entitled to special treatment?
If the answer is the latter, then it’s up to voters – in Texas, Nevada, or anywhere else – to make a change.
