Pam Bondi warns Jasmine Crockett to 'tread very carefully' in what she says about Elon Musk

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Sunday to “tread very carefully” following the lawmaker’s recent remarks voicing support for Elon Musk to be “taken down.”

“She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we’re going to fight to protect all of the Tesla owners throughout this country,” Bondi said during an appearance on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

The warning comes days after the Democrat spoke at a virtual rally held for the The Tesla Takedown movement, a group rallying against Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to bulldoze the federal bureaucracy through boycotts and demonstrations at Tesla properties. The coalition is organizing 500 demonstrations March 29 at Tesla locations across the country.

“On March 29, it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” Crockett said during her remarks. “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money.” Crockett clarified during the rally that her calls for action were nonviolent.

1. Dear Ms Blondi. Read a thing called the Constitution. Also, Language and money are two different things.

“The Speech or Debate Clause, found in Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution, protects members of Congress and their aides from lawsuits or criminal prosecutions arising from their legislative actions.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Constitutional Basis:
The clause states, "The Senators and Representatives shall... be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place".

Using your office to protect an unelected scumbag who is being allowed to destroy our government is an abuse of your position, you traitor.
