Crockett responds to Bondi's 'threat' over Musk criticism

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Wednesday pushed back against Attorney General Pam Bondi after the Justice Department head criticized the Texas Democrat’s comments about tech billionaire Elon Musk being “taken down” multiple times.

“To have her go on Fox News, and to then decide that she wanted to send a threat to me, it was wrong,” Crockett said during a House Judiciary subcommittee hearing.

“Because here it is, she is the highest law enforcement agent in this country and people are watching and they are consuming this information, and they are believing that simply because I decided that I wanted to exercise my right to free speech — which I am not abridged from doing — that she then wanted to then politicize something that should not be politicized. I don’t like Elon Musk, I’m going to say it 50,000 times.”

Bondi has taken two recent swings at Crockett on Fox News, one on March 23 and one last week, over comments Crockett made during a livestreamed event last month in which she said that “all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.”

What many may be missing in all that Trump is trying to do, while he says he will prosecute everyone, deport all the illegals, shutdown the Houthis and on and on is, he doesn't have near the staff numbers, the holding facilities and all the rest you would need to actually do all that. Last I calculated it, at the present rate of his deportations, it will take 36 years to deport 11 million illegal aliens. And that assumes you stop visa immigration from backfilling those deported when it is overstayed visas that contribute the most to illegal immigration, which he is not doing. This is a big terrible reality TV show and yes it is making all of us nervous to see how it ends but in fact there are limitations in the system that even Trump can not get past
