US Representative Jasmine Crockett has built her brand on attacking conservatives.
But records just exposed what she’s been hiding from voters.
And Jasmine Crockett was caught red-handed with a stock portfolio that makes Democrats’ hypocrisy crystal clear.
Crockett campaigns as a crusading civil rights lawyer fighting for “the little guy.”
The Texas Democrat made national headlines with her theatrical performances attacking Donald Trump and Republicans in congressional hearings.
But the Washington Free Beacon just blew the lid off Crockett’s secret financial dealings that paint a very different picture.
Crockett hid 25 stocks from congressional disclosure
Records obtained through a public records request revealed that Crockett owned stocks in at least 25 companies she never disclosed when running for Congress in 2022.¹
Even though she’d quietly admitted to owning the stocks the previous year as a Texas state legislator, Crockett somehow “forgot” to mention them in her congressional financial disclosure.
The hidden portfolio reads like a who’s who of exactly the kind of corporations Crockett publicly rails against.
She owned stock in ExxonMobil while claiming climate change is an “existential crisis.”²
She held pharmaceutical stocks in Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca while pushing COVID vaccine mandates that lined those companies’ pockets.³
Crockett’s undisclosed holdings include Amazon, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and something called “Corporate Cannabis.”⁴
The 44-year-old congresswoman also hid at least $110,000 in debts, including money owed to a man named Ben Babcock who appears to have been her landlord while she served in the Texas legislature.⁵
None of those debts appeared in her congressional disclosure covering the same time period.
Failed marijuana magnate pushed pot legalization
Crockett’s biggest conflict of interest involves the cannabis industry.
She co-owns Black Diamond Investments, a firm that tried and failed from 2018 to 2020 to get licensed to operate marijuana dispensaries in Ohio.⁶
A 148-page application to Ohio’s Medical Marijuana Control Program identified Crockett as a 20 percent owner and chief operations officer of the company.⁷
The application laid out Crockett’s day-to-day duties running the pot business.
She was listed as the only contact for the firm during the application process.
All while Black Diamond was trying to break into the marijuana business, Crockett was pushing bills in the Texas legislature to decriminalize cannabis and expand access to medical marijuana.⁸
Those bills would have directly benefited her business interests.
When she got to Congress, Crockett co-sponsored legislation in August to decriminalize marijuana at the national level.⁹
She still lists Black Diamond Investments as an asset in her latest congressional disclosure.
The timing is even more disturbing.
In 2018, while Crockett was trying to launch her marijuana empire, she worked as a defense attorney representing a man charged with murder in a marijuana deal gone bad.¹⁰
Tyvon Montrel Gullatt was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison for the killing.
Crockett saw firsthand the violence tied to the illegal drug trade.
But that didn’t stop her from trying to cash in on it.
Ethics watchdog says Crockett faces conflict of interest charges
Caitlin Sutherland runs Americans for Public Trust, an ethics watchdog group.
She told the Free Beacon that Crockett’s hidden stocks and debts raise major red flags.
“Personal financial disclosure rules are in place to make sure Members of Congress do not engage in conflicts of interest while working for the American people,” Sutherland explained.¹¹
The pharmaceutical and marijuana companies stand to benefit directly from actions Crockett’s taken in both the Texas legislature and Congress.
“The concerns surrounding the extreme discrepancies between Representative Crockett’s state and federal financial disclosures are certainly legitimate,” Sutherland added. “If she is found to have improperly reported her assets and liabilities, further inquiry and possible penalties would be warranted.”¹²
Under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, members of Congress who violate financial disclosure requirements can face up to two years in prison and a fine of $200,000.¹³
The law also allows anyone who knowingly files false or fraudulent financial disclosure reports to be fined up to $50,000 and imprisoned for up to five years.¹⁴
False reporting isn’t Crockett’s only problem.
The Democrat crusader owns stock in fossil fuel companies while attacking the oil and gas industry.
She pushes radical “green energy” policies while profiting from ExxonMobil, a company liberal state and local governments have sued for allegedly causing climate change.
Crockett advocates for COVID vaccine mandates while owning stock in the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing those vaccines.
She criticized “right-wing nuts” who opposed vaccine mandates in 2021.¹⁵
Now she’s attacking Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for his vaccine policies, accusing him of playing politics with people’s lives.
All while she’s making money off the pharmaceutical industry.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
Democrat claims poverty while hiding wealth
Crockett has built her public image around being a struggling single woman.
“I have no husband, y’all. Never been married, never been engaged,” she told an interviewer in February, holding up her hands to show the absence of a ring.¹⁶
She portrays herself as a selfless civil rights lawyer who represented Black Lives Matter protesters for free.
But earlier this year on The Breakfast Club, Crockett bragged she might be in line for “very lucrative fees” from long-running civil rights cases she worked before entering government.¹⁷
If House ethics rules prevent her from taking her cut, Crockett said she’ll just quit Congress, take the money, and run again.
That’s quite a different picture than the one she paints for voters.
Crockett’s been in Congress for less than two years.
She announced Wednesday she’s strongly considering running for U.S. Senate in Texas in 2026.
Voters deserve to know the truth about who they’re electing.
Members of Congress aren’t required to fully divest their financial holdings when taking office.
But they are required to disclose them.
That’s how the public knows whether politicians are making decisions for the common good or for personal profit.
Crockett appears to have violated that basic principle of transparency.
She campaigns as a champion of working people while secretly profiting from the very corporations and industries she publicly attacks.
That’s the Democrat way – rules for thee but not for me.
