Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, representing Texas' 30th district in the U.S. Congress, recently expressed her concerns through a series of tweets addressing issues related to military respect and government accountability. Crockett, who succeeded Eddie Bernice Johnson in 2023, has been vocal about her stance on these matters.

On January 25, 2025, Crockett criticized Pete Hegseth for his alleged disrespect towards women service members and highlighted "multiple credible sexual assault allegations" against him. She stated that "our troops deserve better," referring to the situation as "a slap in the face to American women." "This is a slap in the face to American women."

Later that day, she commented on President Trump's decision to dismiss Inspectors General. In her tweet at 05:06 UTC, she emphasized their role as independent public servants crucial for maintaining government accountability by identifying fraud and abuse. She described Trump's action as a purge aimed at those protecting the rule of law. "Inspectors General are key public servants tasked w/ holding our government accountable."

In another tweet posted at 23:35 UTC on January 25, Crockett condemned what she referred to as "the orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General," labeling it illegal and a threat to democracy and public safety. She urged for this move to be reversed and called upon her colleagues from Oversight Democrats (@OversightDems) to demand compliance with the law from Trump without excuses. "The orange man’s purge of the Inspectors General isn’t just illegal—it’s a direct attack on our democracy."
