Congresswoman Honors Chris Brown Amid Backlash | Dallas News

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s onstage shout-out to Chris Brown during a concert in Arlington has ignited controversy, sparking outrage over honoring a man with a documented history of violence against women — including his 2009 assault on Rihanna and a recent nightclub brawl. While the gesture was framed as celebrating “Black joy” alongside State Rep. Venton Jones, critics called it tone-deaf and a bizarre misstep. Jones later apologized, acknowledging the pain caused to Black women and clarifying the intent was to honor artists and boost voter engagement. Crockett has yet to publicly respond, while Brown’s legal record continues to draw scrutiny. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
