Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a strong warning to Representative Jasmine Crockett, urging her to condemn what Bondi describes as 'dangerous' rhetoric directed towards Elon Musk and Senator Ted Cruz. In a statement released Tuesday, Bondi asserted that Crockett's words have contributed to an atmosphere of potential violence and intimidation.
'Representative Crockett has a responsibility to unequivocally denounce any and all threats of violence,' Bondi stated. 'Her rhetoric has created a climate where individuals may feel emboldened to act out against those with whom they disagree. This is unacceptable.'
The warning comes in the wake of increasing reports of threats and harassment targeting public figures, particularly those involved in politically charged debates. While Bondi did not specify the exact statements made by Crockett that she found objectionable, she emphasized the need for all elected officials to exercise caution and promote civil discourse.
'We must all be mindful of the impact our words can have,' Bondi added. 'It is crucial that we work to de-escalate tensions and create a safe environment for open and respectful dialogue.'
As of Tuesday evening, Representative Crockett's office had not issued a formal response to Bondi's statement.
