Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a new warning to far-left Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she made a series of threatening comments toward DOGE head Elon Musk and other Republican lawmakers.

During an interview on Fox News with host Sean Hannity, Bondi accused Crockett of “threatening lives” with her rhetoric against Musk after left-wing activists targeted Tesla dealerships.

“After she said that about Elon, she said, ‘well, I didn’t mean violence,’ but however, your words have consequences. And what happened after she said that about Elon Musk? She’s a Texan in her own home state after she said that this morning, three explosive devices were found in Austin, Texas. So she needs to unequivocally denounce the violence,” Bondi said.

“She must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country, to the American shareholders of Tesla, because she is promoting violence. And then you showed the clip of what she said about Senator Cruz. I believe she probably will be censured by Congress for saying that. People don’t learn. She’s using her public persona, her public platform to increase her followers, to increase her significance. And she is threatening lives, safety. When she did this at Tesla, people’s lives are in danger. This is America. We’re in a free country, and she’s yet encouraging this violence in our country. Think of all the lives that could have been jeopardized in Texas just today by her words and what she’s done, but she didn’t stop with that. She continued on with Senator Cruz. She has to apologize immediately and denounce the violence,” Bondi added.

The attorney general continued her criticism of Crockett’s rhetoric, saying the far-left lawmaker is calling for “further insurrection” despite being previously warned to “tread very carefully.”

“It’s interesting that these people wrap themselves in the First Amendment, but they hate Elon Musk because he’s practicing the First Amendment and … But again, words have consequences. And she does need to tread very carefully. We don’t know what else she’s saying, what else she’s doing,” Bondi declared.

She added, “But she needs to immediately apologize and denounce this because, even in her home state, violence is happening after she made these statements. It’s dangerous. She has to know it’s dangerous, and she’s calling for further insurrection on her birthday this weekend.”

Crockett came under fire last week for saying during a “Tesla Takedown” online call that, “All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.”

People who own or work for Tesla have been attacked, vandalized, and doxxed a lot lately.

Multiple cars were burned at a Tesla service center in Las Vegas last week. Spencer Evans, the special agent in charge of the FBI office in Las Vegas, told reporters that the event “certainly has some of the hallmarks” of a terrorist attack, but it was still too early to say for sure. The Joint Terrorism Task Force of the FBI is looking into what happened right now.

An interviewer asked Crockett how Democrats could win elections in Texas, which is a red state. Crockett replied, “I think that you punch, I think that you punch, I think that you OK with punching.”

“It’s Ted Cruz,” she went on. “I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like you go clean off on him.”

Responding to the clip, the White House’s “rapid response” X account called Crockett “another unhinged Democrat inciting violence.”

Crockett has said that her calls to action are “nonviolent” and are about figuratively “fighting” for democracy.
