Witnesses claim Rep. Jasmine Crockett cut ahead of elderly and disabled passengers to board her Delta flight first.NH
Democrat Jasmine Crockett has been accused of pushing in front of elderly and disabled passengers to board a Delta flight first.
The Texas representative was slammed by House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain, who shared photos of Crockett apparently at the head of a line.
‘SPOTTED: Jasmine Crockett with a taxpayer-funded police escort, cutting everyone in line — even making DISABLED people wait,’ McClain wrote on X.
‘Nothing to see here, just the next leader of the Democrats, abusing her power!’
McClain was quickly inundated with replies expressing similar outrage.
‘This entitlement is embarrassing,’ one person wrote.
‘Doesn’t get more low-class than Crockett,’ another added.
‘More Democrat TRASH!! Keep it up… it’s working for you. Politicians these days seem to be all about enriching themselves. What a country.,’ a third fumed.

However, some pointed out that Crockett may have needed to board first for security reasons.
‘That’s a cheap shot… she needs to board first so the security team can get back to more important things,’ one person wrote. ‘There are legitimate things to criticize- this isn’t one of them.’
It is believed that Crocket was on her way to Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi when the photos were taken.
The congresswoman was invited to the college to receive an honorary doctorate.
She told graduates to make room for themselves at the table during a commencement address.
‘There are going to be people that tell you that you don’t belong, and I am here to tell you over and over and over that you absolutely belong,’ Crockett said, the Magnolia Tribune reports.
‘There are people that are gonna tell you that there is not a table in which there is a seat for you, but I am here to remind you of Montgomery and those folding chairs.’
The ‘folding chairs’ aspect was a reference to the Montgomery, Alabama riverfront brawl in 2023, where a black man used a folding chair to hit white boaters as part of the mass fight.

‘Let me tell you that we know how to use a chair, whether we’re pulling it up or we’re doing something else with it,’ Crockett said.
‘Let me be the first one to tell you that I know that y’all are ready to put your boots on the ground.’
Her remarks were strongly condemned by the White House, which branded Crockett, ‘another unhinged Democrat inciting violence’.
