| Thirst thot Jasmine Crockett presents Chris Brown an award. |
Almost 20 years ago, Chris Brown became synonymous with domestic violence. The singer and rapper was then in a brief relationship with Rihanna. The entertainer struck Rihanna so bad it lead to a boycott and major backlash against him.
He was arrested and convicted of felonious assault.
The case attracted widespread media attention. He was sentenced to five years of probation, community service, and mandatory domestic violence counseling. In the years since, Brown has faced a number of civil lawsuits and criminal cases arising from allegations of assault and other misconduct, while also taking legal action himself in response to allegations made against him, including defamation lawsuits in which he prevailed.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) gave up her safe seat to run for the Senate. She ended up losing to James Talarico, a state representative who generated national buzz for his clean cut, youthful, passive Christianity. Talarico is facing off against Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General who defeated Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) despite his endless controversies.
Crockett has not endorsed or campaigned with Talarico since the primary.
Crockett continues to generate controversy. She went to the Chris Brown and Usher concert.
She presented the entertainers an award it generated fierce backlash from the very people she counted on during the primary, Black women.
While she is a federal official and is entitled to serve constituents as well as entertainers, her presentation to Brown is rewarding an endless pattern of bad behavior.
Crockett appeared alongside state Rep. Venton Jones to announce that Brown and Usher would both have their names entered into the Congressional Record, a ceremonial honor.
Jones quickly apologized for the controversy.
Crockett embraced Brown on stage and talked about “experiencing Black joy at the highest level” without apparently acknowledging his lengthy history of domestic violence allegations.
Crockett is unapologetic about her views. Her controversies are almost similar to former lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Glenn.
