In a moment that went viral on social media, Fox News anchor Sandra Smith criticized Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) for heavy campaign spending on luxury travel amid potential 2026 Senate ambitions against Republican Sen. John Cornyn, noting, “She’s not spending an awful lot of time in Texas.” Additionally, Smith highlighted her absence from her home state, sarcastically adding she’s “living high on the hog” with designer brands and expensive hotel stays.
Additionally, a viral conservative post slammed FEC filings showing thousands spent on high-end hotels, including $4,175 at the Ritz-Carlton and $2,304 at The Luxury Collection, West Hollywood Edition, Vegas resorts, and limo services, as well as $50,000 on security.
When the post went viral, conservatives in the comments accused her of fleecing taxpayers and donors while constituents face inflation and crime, calling for an investigation and labeling politicians as self-serving celebrities amid widespread frustration.
Starting the clip, the Fox News anchor said, “For a woman who is openly flirting with trying to run for a Texas Senate seat against Senator John Cornyn or whoever comes out of that primary, you are seeing a woman who’s not spending an awful lot of time in Texas.”
Building on this point, Sandra Smith added, “That whole list of places she’s been living high on the hog. I didn’t see anything mentioning Dallas, Houston, or Amarillo. She’s all across the country making sure she is getting taken care of, that her nails look fabulous, and that she is sounding off however she wants.”
In a viral post to social media, one conservative explained, “🚨 BREAKING: Rep. Jasmine Crockett is being brutally slammed for dishing out THOUSANDS on luxury amenities OUTSIDE her district, per FEC – $4,175 on the Ritz-Carlton – $2,304 on The Luxury Collection – $5,326 on The West Hollywood Edition.”
Continuing to list out the Democrats massive spending, the post added, “-$1,173 on The Times Square Edition – $2,000+ on The Cosmopolitan and Aria Resort in Vegas – $2,703 on The Edgartown Inn – $3,160 on The Coco – $2,728 on Transportation 4 U Limo service – $2,310 on DCA Car LLC – $1,254 on Bay Area Limousine – $50,000 security,” quipping, “Imagine that.”

In the comments under the post, conservatives expressed their indignation. “She’s part of the crime syndicate fleecing tax payers. While her constituents struggle with inflation and crime, she’s living it up at the Ritz, the Cosmo, and The Edition on their dime. These people don’t represent voters … they represent themselves,” one comment noted.
Agreeing, another added, “Jasmine Crockett should be investigated and held accountable for mismanaging tax payer funds.” Cynically, a woman reacted, “And nothing will happen as usual. 🙄 I am sorry but I no longer care. We see all the corruption on both sides, and it comes to fucking nothing. We are ruled by degenerates and thieves.”
Laying out the situation, another conservative quipped, “We lost direction when politicians started behaving like celebrities. We have influencers instead of policy makers in office, now. Sad times.” Annoyed, a response said, “Democrats treat FEC rules as suggestions, partying coast to coast while their districts rot in poverty and boarded-up schools.”
