Democratic firebrand Jasmine Crockett faced backlash after appearing on stage with Chris Brown at an AT&T Stadium concert in Dallas and presenting him with a congressional recognition despite his history of domestic violence. Brown pleaded guilty to felony assault against Rihanna in 2009, and more recently, he pleaded guilty to affray for attacking a music producer in London in 2023. Critics on social media condemned Crockett’s decision as tone-deaf and vile, while others questioned her ethics given her stance against other public figures accused of misconduct.
