Working for a boss that you hate can be miserable.
But for staffers who work for rising Democratic star Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), working for her can be a nightmare according to accounts for those who work in her office.
According to a bombshell report published by The New York Post, anonymous congressional aides say that the loudmouthed Democrat is just as “rude” and mean to her own staff.
The report cited three sources who have worked with or for Crockett, and say she’s rarely present when TV cameras aren’t rolling — and terrorizes staff when she does appear.
For starters, it’s claimed Crockett is not often found at her government-provided suite in the Longworth House Office Building.
According to one insider cited in the report, Crockett prefers to work from her nearby luxury apartment building, sometimes for weeks on end.
“She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office, and is really just indifferent to staff and will scream at them,” the former aide said.
“She is never in the office and is very disengaged. She does her bulls— that goes viral, and then freaks out over the most random things.”
A second source close to Crockett’s team added: “It is widely known that she’s not nice to staff and is just not a really dedicated member focused on constituents.”
“She is focused almost exclusively on being an influencer, not a member of Congress,” said a third source who has worked with Crockett, describing her as “all diva, no wow.”
When Crockett does show up for work on Capitol Hill, aides say she prefers to have a staff member drive her the short distance to her office in a rented car rather than the staffer’s own, a cheaper option commonly used by lawmakers.
The staffer is expected to stand outside the vehicle, which “has to be an Escalade” or similar upscale make, and open the door for her.
“You’re technically allowed to do this but it’s wildly inefficient. Instead of using the scheduler’s car, she rents a car every week in DC,” one source said.
“She expects her staff to drive her around while she’s in the back seat,” they added, calling it a “power play” comparing it to “treating the staffer like an Uber driver.”
The Post report said that a number of staff have become fed up with their treatment, while others have either been fired or left on their own.
Some former aides cited fear of retribution, and declined to participate in the report.
“She thinks she’s her own best adviser, she knows best, and has this toxic staff environment,” a source told The Post.
“She gets rid of press people because she’s like, ‘I do all of the press stuff.’”
On one occasion described in the report, Crockett reduced a legislative aide to tears, bellowing: “Do you really want to be here? And if not, you can leave!”
Another aide, a young black woman, was fired abruptly and confided to a colleague: “I don’t want to hear Jasmine Crockett talk about helping black women when she just fired one for no reason!”
Things have gotten so bad working for Crockett, she’s having trouble filling vacancies within her office.
A source told The Post that a job listing for Crockett’s team recently was shared among a large group of black Democratic women — but nobody expressed interest in the role.
