Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, appears to be leaning in on her rising political stardom this week, briefly sharing what appeared to be a fan-made song that referred to the Democratic firebrand as the “leader of the future.”
“Jasmine Crockett, she rises with the dawn. Fighting for justice, her light will never be gone,” the song went. “A voice for the people, standing strong and proud. Infectious with passion, she’ll never bow down. Leader of the future, she’s breaking all the chains. Jasmine you rock girl, keep leading the fight.”
The roughly two-minute-long song was set against what appeared to be photos of Crockett that were lightly animated using artificial intelligence (AI). It ended with a minute of Crockett’s own comments at a recent House hearing.

Fox News Digital observed the video on Crockett’s Instagram Story, where users post highlights that normally disappear after 24 hours. It was also visible on her Instagram Reels tab. Crockett’s official House of Representatives account was listed as a co-author alongside another Instagram account that appears to specialize in AI-generated musical video clips.
Crockett’s account notes that posts are made by her staff unless the letters “CWC” are present. Her account appears to have shared, but not originally posted the video. Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett’s office to ask if she took any part in creating or sanctioning the post.
After Fox News Digital’s inquiry, mention of the video disappeared from Crockett’s page.
“A beacon of hope, we know you won’t deceive,” the song continued at another point. “Democratic champion, her mission’s loud and clear. For every single citizen, she’ll always be near. No MAGA could silence the truth she displays. Jasmine, you rock girl, keep leading the fight.”

Crockett has garnered a notable fan base among the progressive left since bursting on the national stage just over two years ago.
She has been known for public comments that have pushed the boundaries of congressional decorum and have even earned her censure threats from her Republican colleagues in the House.
Crockett garnered controversy in late March for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.” She later clarified in a statement that she “wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition,” but she did not apologize.
She also appeared to cash in on a spat she was part of during a House Oversight Committee hearing last year, when her response to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., claiming Crockett had “fake eyelashes,” was to mock Greene as having a “bleach blonde bad built butch body.”
Crockett later moved to trademark the phrase through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
