Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sparked controversy after posting a lengthy social media video focusing on personal grievances and appearance while devastating floods claimed over 100 lives in her state.
The congresswoman uploaded the video Monday, making statements about her struggles under the Trump administration following the tragic deaths of 27 children from flash floods in Central Texas.
The timing and content of her message drew immediate criticism from those who viewed it as inappropriate given the scale of the disaster.
Crockett expressed her personal difficulties in the post, stating her heart carries weight that will continue to burden her.
She framed her political opposition to the current administration as a personal survival challenge.
“The sad part is, I think that my heart is going to carry a level of weight that will continue to weigh me down as we have to continue to do our best to survive in an administration that literally is against us,” she said.
The representative described the current administration as working against citizens rather than helping them.
She characterized the political environment as leaving Americans without adequate support during times of crisis.
“An administration that is doing everything, in my mind, to hurt us and not help us. And it feels like we are fending for ourselves and no one should feel that way,” Crockett stated.
Her comments came as federal disaster relief efforts were already underway in the affected regions.
The representative’s focus on political grievances rather than immediate disaster response drew sharp reactions from constituents and political observers.
During the same video addressing the tragic loss of life, Crockett took time to highlight her new hairstyle. She provided a personal acknowledgment to her hairdresser about her new bob cut.
Following the initial post, Crockett added commentary about public reaction to her appearance.
The edit appeared to prioritize social media engagement over the gravity of the ongoing disaster.
“Edit: My staff said y’all are commenting about my BOB! Thank you @jacorean_ for orchestrating the look,” she wrote, accompanied by a kissing emoji.
The congresswoman also criticized what she perceived as limited legislative independence due to Trump’s influence and Supreme Court decisions.
These political complaints formed a significant portion of her message while families continued searching for missing loved ones in the flood zones.
While Crockett focused on personal matters, CNN reported that the death toll from the Central Texas floods continued climbing.
Officials reported 111 fatalities as of Wednesday, with over 170 people still missing.
The numbers represented one of the most devastating natural disasters in recent Texas history.
The flash floods destroyed numerous cabins throughout the region, many occupied by families celebrating the Fourth of July weekend.
Entire vacation communities were swept away by the rapidly rising waters, Resist the Mainstream previously highlighted.
The rapid rise of flood waters caught most residents while they slept, leaving little time for evacuation or safety measures.
Search and rescue operations continued around the clock as emergency responders worked to locate missing persons.
The challenging terrain and debris-filled waters complicated recovery efforts.
Many structures were completely destroyed, leaving only foundations where cabins once stood.
The Guadalupe River experienced unprecedented flooding, rising 26 feet within 45 minutes around 4:00 a.m. Friday morning.
This sudden surge occurred while most area residents remained asleep in their homes and cabins.
The rapid water rise gave victims virtually no warning or opportunity to escape to higher ground.
Camp Mystic, an all-girls Christian camp, suffered particularly devastating losses.
The youngest campers were housed just 225 feet from where the river rapidly rose, according to reports from the New York Post.
The camp’s location made it especially vulnerable to the sudden flood surge.
Twenty-seven children died at Camp Mystic, while ten campers and one counselor remain missing.
The victims included eight-year-olds Sarah Marsh, Renee Smajstrla, and Anna Margaret Bellows.
Nine-year-olds Lila Bonner and Janie Hunt were also among the children who lost their lives in the flooding at the camp.
Chloe Childress, a 19-year-old camp counselor, died in the floods.
Her family remembered her for her “contagious joy, unending grace and abiding faith.”
