Crockett received creepy phone call from Republican staffer after Mace ‘threatened violence’ ‘I do need to take it seriously, because violence has become a very real thing in this chamber,’ Crockett told The Independent.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas said that she received an alarming phone call from a House Republican staffer shortly after her heated exchange with South Carolina Republican Nancy Mace earlier this week.
“She needs to be careful about trying to do that stuff literally, because she's just trying to get clicks and trying to raise money, but it does incite violence, period, not only on me, but on her,” Crockett added.
“I will say that I think that I do need to take it seriously, because violence has become a very real thing in this chamber, and ultimately, kind of in this country when it comes to politics,” she explained.
My money’s on Mace,” the staffer said during the call, according to Crockett’s office.
