The Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF), a First Amendment watchdog organization, has initiated formal complaints against Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), targeting potential ethical and legal transgressions across multiple federal agencies.
CRF has simultaneously submitted complaints to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), alleging serious misconduct including voter intimidation, potentially fraudulent campaign contributions, and violations of congressional ethical standards.
The DOJ complaint centers on a social media video depicting Crockett and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attacking a cartoon Republican voter. CRF argues this content potentially violates federal voter intimidation statutes, specifically 52 U.S.C. § 10307(b).
In the FEC complaint, the foundation highlighted suspicious campaign contributions processed through ActBlue. They claim an elderly Texas retiree, Randy Best, was listed as making over 2,500 contributions totaling more than $21,000, with many transactions reportedly unknown to Mr. Best’s wife.
The Office of Congressional Ethics complaint asserts that Crockett’s public behavior fails to meet House Rule XXIII’s ethical conduct requirements. CRF specifically points to her rhetoric and social media content as undermining congressional standards.
CRF Chairman Shaun McCutcheon characterized the complaints as necessary to protect democratic processes, stating that no elected official should incite attacks on voters or potentially engage in campaign finance irregularities.
The organization is calling for comprehensive investigations to determine the validity of the allegations and ensure accountability for potential legal and ethical violations.
