Power Misuse Accusation Against Jasmine Crockett at Airport Boarding Area

Loosened Lippi's: The Unhinged Trash-Talk over Dem Leadership

Take a peek at the unfiltered opinions spilling from Donald Trump's mouth about potential Democratic Party leaders, caught on NBC News' "Meet the Press."

Social media has been abuzz after Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, was accused of cutting in line ahead of disabled individuals while boarding a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Sunday. House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain shared images of the seemingly questionable incident, causing an uproar among Republicans with allegations that Crockett is "evil."

McClain's post consisted of photos that show Crockett seemingly skipping the line, outraging her base. A source familiar with the incident reveals that Crockett was indeed the first passenger, apart from crew members, to board a Sunday afternoon Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., which includes boarding before two individuals in wheelchairs.

According to aviation rules, passengers with disabilities who require additional time or assistance to board a plane are allowed to do so before other passengers. Customers needing assistance, active-duty military personnel, and Delta 360 Members are all eligible for pre-boarding based on Delta Air Lines' policy.

The source explains that Crockett arrived at the gate alongside a police officer and "her staffer," had her boarding pass scanned, and then proceeded to board the plane before any other passenger. Crockett's chief of staff declined our website Digital's request for comment when reached.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has caught Trump's attention, who criticized her on Sunday during Kristen Welker's "Meet the Press" show. Trump called Crockett a "low IQ person," describing the Democratic Party as being in a "shambles."

Meanwhile, last week, Crockett made headlines as she expressed her intention of pursuing the chair position of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, a role that would involve oversight of the federal government. This could potentially include scrutiny of Trump's political agenda.

A fierce anti-Trump advocate, Crockett took shots at the president in a recent social media post, where she taunted Trump, saying, "You sure do have my name on your lips a lot. I remind the world that you're petrified of intelligent, audacious Black women speaking the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking."

Delta Air Lines did not respond to our website Digital's request for comment regarding the boarding controversy surrounding Crockett.

Crockett has been scrutinized over the past weeks for her comments during a commencement speech at Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi, where she referenced a 2023 Montgomery, Alabama brawl while urging the graduating class to claim their seats at the table.

The incident in question involved a group of White individuals attacking a Black riverboat captain, which sparked a symbol of resistance when a Black man raised a chair in support during the mob attack. As Crockett's comment drew a rapid response from conservatives, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, labeled her remarks as "not cool."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, found herself at the center of a controversy regarding airport etiquette as she was accused of rushing to board a flight ahead of disabled individuals at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
This incident, captured by House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain, sparked outrage among Republicans who label Crockett as "evil," with the alleged cutting in line occurring before two individuals in wheelchairs.
However, a source revealed that Crockett was actually the first passenger to board, aside from crew members, according to Delta Air Lines' policy which prioritizes passengers with disabilities and others requiring assistance.
Seemingly unrelated, President Donald Trump took aim at Crockett during a talk show, dubbing her a "low IQ person," and criticizing the Democratic Party for its disarray. This controversy comes as Crockett considers pursuing a role that could oversee Trump's political agenda.
