Rep. Jasmine Crockett honors Chris Brown in Congressional Record

newsSep 13, 2026422,125

Rep. Jasmine Crockett stepped onstage at an AT&T Stadium concert outside Dallas to present a congressional proclamation for Chris Brown and Usher, saying “We are experiencing Black joy at the highest level” and calling Brown “a real one.” State Rep. Venton Jones and producer RoccStar joined Crockett for the recognition, which Crockett said she wanted entered into the Congressional Record. Brown hugged Crockett onstage and offered a profanity-laced thank you as she left the stage. The plaque makes no mention of Brown’s past legal troubles, including his 2009 guilty plea for assaulting Rihanna and a 2023 guilty plea after an alleged nightclub bottle attack, according to the article and ABC coverage cited there. Crockett recently lost the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to Rep. James Talarico. A representative from Crockett’s office did not respond to a request for comment. The onstage honor has generated sharp criticism in online posts calling the decision poor judgment given Brown’s history of violence against partners.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Representative Venton Jones honored Chris Brown and Usher with a Congressional Record recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives recognizing their artistry in Arlington, Texas. Truly some wild nonsense to honor the man who beat Rihanna.

Chris brown is the biggest psyop ever, he doesn't make good music, hasn't made good music in one and a half decade and he spent his free time being a nuisance. What kind of dirt did he have on people to make everyone overrate him so much?

Fucking insane to me. That anyone is able to look past what he did and still support him with concerts is insane - to *present him with recognition in an official capacity* is just another snapshot of everything that's wrong with the states.

It’s always fun to see how politicians move OUTSIDE of office when they don’t need votes! True colors are shown

istg Texas Democrats are just cooked. Their choice for Senator was between a pastor who acted woke a couple years ago and immediately went transphobe as soon as he became the nominee, or a performative progressive who sings the praises of abusers.

She won't campaign with Talarico, but she'll hang out with a serial woman-beater. Fuck her. Disgusting.
