First in @semafor: Jasmine Crockett's campaign is taking a more hostile stance on the national media. It ejected Atlantic reporter @elainejgodfrey from an event today in Texas after she started asking questions. And earlier this month, it reported to the Capitol Police that CNN's Edward Isaac Dovere was trespassing after he attempted to visit a campaign office...
FWIW: A spokesperson for Crockett's campaign is completely denying that Godfrey was asked to leave the event. The Atlantic is obviously working on its own broader story about the Texas campaign, which will be interesting...
Yesterday*, not today
The Atlantic confirms our story in more detail. Crockett and her spokesperson pretty brazenly lied here. A bizarre move knowing, as I told them, that the Atlantic was going to publish their piece pretty soon anyway!

"Elaine from Atlantic, white girl with a hat and notepad. She’s interviewing people in the crowd. She’s a top-notch hater and will spin. She needs to leave."
