Rep. Jasmine Crockett Defends Free Speech Amid DOJ Criticism Over Musk Comments

Crockett rebukes Attorney General Pam Bondi's claims of incitement, accusing the DOJ of politicizing her criticism of Elon Musk and protests against Tesla.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has doubled down on her criticism of Elon Musk, asserting her right to free speech and rejecting accusations of inciting violence.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has called for Crockett to apologize, linking her comments to vandalism during protests against Tesla and claiming they endanger public safety.
Crockett accused Bondi of politicizing the issue and using the Department of Justice for retributive actions rather than impartial law enforcement.
In a House Judiciary hearing, Crockett reiterated her disapproval of Musk's business practices, including his perceived federal privileges, and her support for peaceful protests.
The dispute reflects broader tensions over free speech, political accountability, and the DOJ's role, further polarizing public opinion.
