Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) had a fiery outburst last week while protesting in front of the U.S. Treasury Department, launching into a profanity-laced tirade against former President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk.
The rally, which also featured Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rep. Monica McIver (D-NJ), saw multiple Democratic lawmakers unleashing verbal attacks on their political opponents.
During the protest, McIver took her rhetoric to a heightened level, making statements that could be interpreted as a call to action. “We will not take this!” she shouted. “We will fight back! And godd**n it, shut down the Senate! We are at war!”

Dennis Quaid’s #1 Warning for Americans
Crockett’s speech was just as aggressive, if not more. She took the microphone and immediately launched into an animated tirade.
“We know who we work for, we know we work for the American people,” she declared. “And what we’re not gonna do is stand around while they pull all this bulls**t they trying to pull right now!”
Raising her voice even further, Crockett accused Trump and his allies of disregarding the rule of law.
“We are not going to sit around while you go ahead and desecrate our Constitution,” she screamed.
“Or you look at the laws that have been passed into law and say ‘never mind.’”
Her speech quickly escalated into a direct attack on Trump and Musk, as she appeared to issue a warning.
“We gonna be in yo face!,” she yelled. “We gonna be on yo a**es!”
She continued with more aggressive rhetoric, insisting, “We are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like! This ain’t it!”
Crockett also made a point of refusing to address Trump by his presidential title, calling him “Mr.” rather than “President.”
“So let me tell you something Mr. Trump, you gonna learn a few lesson from us,” she taunted.
“You and your little friend off of Twitter, y’all are about to find out!”
The Texas Democrat then accused Trump of being aligned with Russian President Vladimir Putin. “
We all know he likes to pal around with Putin, right?” she stated.
“He’s trying to turn us into Russia, but I have news for you: we the people will not go!”
JUST IN: Rep. Jasmine Crockett goes FULL MELTDOWN, ranting that Trump is “turning America into Russia”—for weeding out fraud in the federal government.
Her response? “We gonna be in yo face! We gonna be on yo a**es!”

The protest showcased an increasingly combative stance from certain Democratic lawmakers, as they continue to direct their anger toward both Trump and Musk.
The rally was one of several recent events where elected officials have openly clashed with the former president and conservative-leaning figures in the tech industry.
While heated rhetoric is not uncommon in political protests, Crockett’s speech and McIver’s calls for action raised concerns about the extent to which partisan divides are escalating.
The protest outside the Treasury Department drew attention for both its intensity and the controversial statements made by those involved.
