Pam Bondi warns Jasmine Crockett to 'tread very carefully' in what she says about Elon Musk

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Sunday to “tread very carefully” following the lawmaker’s recent remarks voicing support for Elon Musk to be “taken down.”

“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we're going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi said during an appearance on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The warning comes days after the Democrat spoke at a virtual rally held for the The Tesla Takedown movement, a group rallying against Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to bulldoze the federal bureaucracy through boycotts and demonstrations at Tesla properties. The coalition is organizing 500 demonstrations March 29 at Tesla locations across the country.

“On March 29, it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” Crockett said during her remarks. "I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money."

At a minimum, some time in the community stocks with those expired eggs tossed her direction(hate to have even rotten ones go to waste). But, your imagination may differ.

I'd say a 21st-century version of tar and feather--different because the age-old method was actually skin-burning--but we can find a way to make it non-injurious but equally embarrassing.

Speaking of which, I saw Sean Spicer on TV recently. He was doing a commercial for one of those auto repair insurance companies. Almost choked laughing.

Bondi needs to study recent history of the people who did bullying for trump and how they have fared.

I sure wish they would fight as hard for the children that are mowed down in schools with assault rifles as they do for Tesla owners and the slimy muskrat.

Bondi is dirty and a mobster likes that because he has leverage over the person then.

Btw the 1st Amendment covers the speech of Rep. Crockett too.

These news media people who report this crap need to go back to high school government class. They report all of these Republican threats as if they are real and there is more than just jabbering rhetoric in them. There is stuff that they can't do, no matter the threat.

Crockett is not advocating for anything illegal. Bondi wouldn't know that, though, since she has no idea about the rule of law.

Trump is also an elected official but he can do or say as he damn well pleases...

https://civilrights.org/2025/02/04/civil-rights-coalition-condemns-confirmation-of-pam-bondi-as-attorney-general/

The regressive agenda threatened by Project 2025 to upend our civil rights protections and turn the Department of Justice from a shield to a weapon is underway. Ms. Bondi’s anti-civil rights background, record of election denial, and unflinching loyalty to the president make her unfit to lead the Department of Justice.


We all knew that...
