"It's silly season. There is a specific journalist who is, she has a history of being less than truthful, and frankly there's no evidence of anything that she's talking about. The journalist in question had been previously and successfully sued for defamation, she claimed. It is sad that there is any news outlet that actually would have her on staff when the one thing that matters most is truth."
"I've never been sued for defamation, let alone successfully. I did write a profile of the representative last year that she didn't like. Most important, I was thrown out of her rally. There is evidence, because I recorded it."
"On Monday morning, I showed up early to Crockett's Community Conversation in Lubbock and interviewed a handful of people in line. At the entrance, I showed my Atlantic press credential to a woman wearing a badge, who waved me into the building."
A journalist attended Representative Jasmine Crockett's campaign rally in Lubbock, Texas, displaying valid Atlantic press credentials at entry. After the event, the journalist attempted to access a closed-door press scrum with the congresswoman but was removed by campaign staff who called her a "top-notch hater" and escorted her to a county road. When asked about the incident, Crockett dismissed it as "silly season" and made several false accusations against the journalist, including claims of defamation lawsuits and a history of dishonesty. The journalist refutes these claims, noting she has never been sued for defamation and has recorded evidence of the ejection.
