Others criticized both women for the optics of the interaction. “Politicians represent us. They are not to be ‘worshipped.’ And the fact that she allowed it, tells you a lot,” one commenter said.

As the post circulated widely, it sparked debate about the growing cult of personality surrounding political figures and the behavior of activists toward elected officials.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a first-term Democrat representing Texas’ 30th Congressional District, has gained national attention in recent months for her outspoken commentary and frequent media appearances.
She has also indicated that she may consider seeking higher office in the near future.
Speaking at a recent event, Crockett referenced Republican-led redistricting efforts in Texas and suggested she might challenge for a statewide seat as a response.
“Because if you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away,” she said.
Crockett added that she is evaluating whether a broader campaign could be viable.
“So we are, you know, the primary is the primary. That’s cool, but you got to win the general. So we are doing some testing here shortly to see if I can expand the electorate,” she said.
The incident comes as Crockett continues to attract attention from progressive activists and liberal media figures.
While many Democrats have praised her for her outspoken style, critics have accused her of fueling partisanship and seeking publicity.
Stephanie Miller, a longtime progressive commentator and former comedian, has been a prominent voice in liberal talk radio for more than a decade.
Her show, which airs nationally, often features Democratic lawmakers and left-leaning guests.
The viral photo drew a mix of ridicule and disbelief across social media platforms, with some commentators suggesting that it symbolized a broader problem within political activism — the tendency to elevate politicians to celebrity status rather than treating them as public servants.
