Morning Note

“All diva, no wow.”

That’s how one anonymous aide who has worked with Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett described the Texas congresswoman, according to a report Thursday.

Another former aide echoed the sentiment, recounting Crockett’s preference for staying at home and her apparent indifference toward her team. 

“She remains absent from the office and disengaged, focusing instead on viral moments,” the aide told the New York Post.

Employees under Crockett’s management reportedly experience frequent turnover, with many citing dissatisfaction and leaving their roles, while some former aides have abstained from discussing their experiences, fearing retaliation. 

In a notable incident, Crockett is said to have berated a legislative aide to the point of tears, questioning their commitment to the position. Another account involves a young black woman who alleges she was abruptly dismissed from her role without cause. 

“You would think working for a black woman, if you were a young black woman or a young person of color, you would feel empowered in that space,” one former Democratic congressional aide said. “But truly, the only person that she thinks about and cares about is herself. The staff is really just an island unto itself, because she doesn’t care about the local issues happening in her district. She's more focused on, ‘Get me on ‘The View,’ ‘Get me on this late-night talk show.’”

Crockett also allegedly forces a staff member each week to chauffeur her in a rented luxury vehicle for short trips to the office. 

Is anyone shocked?
