Rep. Jasmine Crockett said a person made threatening, white-supremacist gestures at her Washington office and accused President Donald Trump of fueling political violence. The article also reports that Crockett is weighing a possible Senate run.
Crockett said a person came to her Washington office and made what the article describes as “white supremacist” gestures. She argued that Trump’s comments about Democratic lawmakers who urged the military to refuse unlawful orders put members of Congress at risk. Trump had called the lawmakers’ conduct “seditious behavior” punishable by death, according to the article. The lawmakers said the administration was pitting military and intelligence professionals against American citizens; the article also notes scrutiny of strikes on alleged drug vessels that it says have killed more than 80 people.
Crockett said she would continue representing her Texas district and would not be intimidated. The article says she is seriously weighing a Senate run, has spoken with potential campaign managers, and has discussed polling and the cost of raising her statewide profile.
