JUST IN: Rep. Crockett Accused Of ‘Abusing Her Power’ In Bombshell Report
Travelers waiting to board a Delta flight on Sunday were left stunned after witnessing a blatant abuse of power by Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX). The congresswoman was seen bypassing a long line of passengers, including several individuals in wheelchairs, while escorted by law enforcement straight onto the jet bridge.
According to eyewitnesses and photos now circulating online, Crockett was flanked by security as she skipped ahead of disabled travelers who had been waiting patiently in line.
One post by Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) captured the moment and blasted it out to her followers, writing: “
SPOTTED: Jasmine Crockett with a taxpayer-funded police escort, cutting everyone in line — even making DISABLED people wait. Nothing to see here, just the next leader of the Democrats, abusing her power!”

A review of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines makes clear that passengers with disabilities are entitled to priority assistance and early boarding when requested. Airlines are required by law to accommodate passengers who use wheelchairs by helping them board before the general population. The incident, however, appears to show that those rules were disregarded as Crockett’s entourage was ushered through ahead of vulnerable passengers who had followed proper procedure.

Photos show Crockett in all black, standing confidently alongside suited staff and armed police officers, while passengers, including an elderly woman in a bright pink jacket seated in a wheelchair, looked on.
It remains unclear whether Crockett requested any special boarding privileges due to security concerns or official duties.
According to a source familiar with the situation who spoke with Fox News, Crockett was the first person to board a Sunday afternoon Delta flight from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. — even before two passengers in wheelchairs. The source said Crockett arrived at the gate with a police officer and “what looked like her staffer,” had her boarding pass scanned, and boarded the aircraft ahead of all other passengers, including those requiring special assistance.
The source emphasized that Crockett was the first “other than the crew” to step onto the plane.
When contacted by Fox, Crockett’s chief of staff declined to elaborate on the report, stating: “We do not have any comments.”
The congresswoman has recently found herself at the center of multiple controversies and political moves that have drawn national attention. She engaged in a public war of words with President Donald Trump after he referred to her as a “low IQ person” in an interview.
At the same time, Crockett has been making moves within Congress, reportedly eyeing the top Democratic seat on the powerful House Oversight Committee. The current ranking member, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), is said to be considering stepping down due to health reasons, and Crockett has begun rallying support from colleagues. Her allies argue she would bring a bold presence to the role, especially as Democrats seek to counter efforts by the GOP-led committee to investigate the Biden administration.
