Jasmine Crockett criticizes AOC and Bernie Sanders' 'Oligarchy Fight' tour, labeling it self-centered: "Causes public to think, It's all about them"
In a recent development, Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett has made waves within the Democratic Party with her criticism of the "Fighting Oligarchy" tour involving Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
During a meeting with Representative Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) in May, Crockett expressed her views, but the name of the person who reported on the discussion or Crockett's criticism remains undisclosed. The meeting saw Dexter probing Crockett about her relationship with Democratic leadership.
Crockett's criticism centred around the notion that the rallies were primarily serving the interests of Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders, rather than the Democratic Party as a whole. This assertion has sparked debate within the party.
At the time of the meeting, Crockett was campaigning for the top Democratic spot on the House Oversight Committee.
The criticism has not been met with open discussion from many Democratic lawmakers. Several of them have refused to discuss Crockett on the record for an Atlantic profile. Some of her colleagues find her "undisciplined," but are "reluctant to criticize her publicly."
One staffer described Crockett as a "loose cannon" who can cause headaches for other members. Another staffer, however, praised Crockett's casual and brusque demeanour, noting it as part of her charm.

In a bid to clarify her stance, Crockett insisted in the Atlantic profile that she has a "positive relationship" with Ocasio-Cortez. This statement comes amidst reports of past tension between Ocasio-Cortez and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Despite the criticism, both Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders did not respond to The Post's requests for comment.
In a surprising turn of events, Ocasio-Cortez shattered her own personal record in campaign contributions during the first quarter of the year, raising an impressive $9.6 million. This figure surpasses Sanders' $11.5 million raised during the same period in 2025.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how the Democratic Party will navigate these internal disagreements and move forward in the face of criticism and change.
