Jasmine Crockett tied to crypto and Israel lobby money

May 27, 2026

A progressive commentator argues Jasmine Crockett is a corporate-backed Democrat dressed up as a fighter, bad news for voters who want the party to break from corporate and pro-Israel donors.

  • Crockett appeared in a $500,000 ad from a crypto-funded super PAC backing Christian Manfi, who just beat veteran Democrat and Israel critic Al Green in a Texas primary.
  • The super PAC Protect Progress, tied to the deep-pocketed Fair Shake group, spent over $4 million to help Manfi win.
  • Crockett's own campaigns have taken big crypto money, including from Coinbase, Solana, and the Winklevoss twins, and she voted for the industry's top bill, the Genius Act.
  • She has also gone on an AIPAC-style trip to Israel and endorsed AIPAC-backed Wesley Bell over progressive Cori Bush in Missouri.
  • AIPAC openly celebrated Green's defeat, even though most Democratic voters say they want less US support for Israel's war.

Outlook: Expect more well-funded primary challenges using crypto and pro-Israel money to push out progressive incumbents heading into the next election cycle.
