Susan Wild Slams Jasmine Crockett Over Midterm Endorsements

A former member of Congress gave Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) this week for seemingly leaving out Senate nominee James Talarico (D-TX) from her list of endorsements for the November midterm election.

Talarico, who has said he would not accept campaign contributions from corporate PACs, was not among the 14 candidates endorsed by Rep. Crockett’s Feuling Individual Rights Everywhere (FIRE) PAC when it released its endorsements.

Former Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA) took this latest omission as a sign that Crockett was putting personal reservations over Democratic success.

"F--- her. That’s all I can say. And that statement has nothing to do with blind loyalty to Dems," Rep. Wild said in a post on X. "It has everything to do with her being a narcissistic drama queen who has used her platform (such as it is) only to advance herself. Karma will suck."

Rep. Crockett was quick to reply to Wild’s comments, noting that her endorsements only included local races.

“Y’all are corny! I keep receipts. I’ll be happy when people either give a damn about FACTS or news media goes back to the news instead of deciding to ride the tabloid lane,” Rep. Crockett shot back in a reply to Wild on X. “NOW FOR THE 1000th time maybe write an article about KEN F*in PAXTON.”

Rep. Crockett’s FIRE PAC has raised about $144,960 and focuses heavily on smaller races. All 14 candidates listed on the post of endorsements were state or local candidates.

Although Rep. Crockett lost to Talarico, she did endorse him shortly thereafter.

“With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win,” Rep. Crockett wrote. "I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot."
