'In case the slow people are listening': Jasmine Crockett fires back at Pam Bondi threat

Attorney General Pam Bondi got a swift response from Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Sunday after the Donald Trump appointee made an overheated threat that Texas Democrat needs to "tread carefully" when talking about billionaire Elon Musk.

During an appearance with Fox's Maria Bartiromo, Bondi offered, once again, a full-throated defense of Musk and his Tesla automotive company by telling the host, "And Maria, now you have this congresswoman, Crockett, who is calling for attacks on Elon Musk on her birthday. Let's take him out on my birthday, she says. And yet she turns and says, oh, I'm not calling for violence."

Bondi added, "Nothing will happen to Elon," while making accusations of "domestic terrorism."

Hours after the Bondi interview, Crockett appeared on MSNBC where host Alex Witt showed the Fox News clip and asked the Texas lawmaker to respond.

"Yeah, so I'm actually going to say that I participated in a Tesla Takedown –– that is the name of the website," she told the host. "And it was all about this large protest that they're calling for and this is a nonviolent protest that they're calling for. And, in fact, when I was on there, which is why the attorney general had to say that I wasn't calling for violence, and it's ridiculous that I even have to say something like that."

She later added, "I'm excited to see that Elon Musk, that his money as it relates to Tesla, well, Tesla is tanking right now and I'm okay with that."

"So just in case the slow people listening decide to pick this up later, I just want to say that I have never promoted violence whatsoever, she continued. "Yet I've also never made excuses for those violent acts, such as the ones on January 6th. So Pam Bondi, if you have an issue with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about locking back up those guys that he let out that participated in January 6th."
