Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) made a surprise appearance at a Saturday concert to honor musician Chris Brown, who pleaded guilty in 2009 to assaulting Rihanna, his girlfriend at the time.
Crockett, who has represented a Dallas-based district since 2023, is a high-profile critic of President Donald Trump and lost this year’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate to James Talarico. She announced that she would enter Chris Brown’s and Usher’s names into the Congressional Record, a ceremonial honor, at the two musicians’ concert in Arlington, Texas.
