Jasmine Crockett’s Campaign Reportedly Called Police on CNN Reporter

Crockett's campaign accused CNN reporter of trespassing and removed an Atlantic journalist from a rally amid a contentious Texas Senate primary, reflecting rising tensions with the press.

  • Earlier this month, Rep. Jasmine Crockett's campaign called the Capitol Police on CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere, asserting he may have trespassed when trying to visit a campaign office, two people told Semafor.
  • Tensions trace to last year's profile, which reportedly frustrated Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-TX, who told Godfrey she was `shutting down the profile and revoking all permissions,`.
  • During a campaign event in Lubbock, security escorted Atlantic staff writer Elaine Godfrey from the premises, and Godfrey said `a woman with a badge approached me`; four guards, including at least one armed, then removed her.
  • Crockett's campaign denied that Godfrey was removed and did not respond directly to Semafor, while Jeffrey Goldberg, Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic, said `In a democracy, elected officials answer questions from the press rather than hide from them.`
  • As the Crockett-Talarico contest intensifies, observers note a sharper turn into conflict with national reporters amid early voting in the Texas primaries for the open Senate seat.
