It’s been a whole week since a member of Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s (TX) security detail was shot and killed by Dallas Police during a chase and subsequent standoff after police flagged his vehicle for having stolen plates. Police would come to find out a whole lot more about the man (including his multiple aliases), but ABC and CBS have seen no reason to cover it on their flagship morning or evening newscasts. NBC’s Today has also ignored it, but Tuesday’s NBC Nightly News broke through with a single, 104-second segment. Incredibly, though, they never stated Crockett was a Democrat. This story from Tuesday’s ‘NBC Nightly News’ was the only mention on the lead ABC, CBS, and NBC shows about one of Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s bodyguards dying in a police standoff and lied about his name and possessed stolen vehicles and firearms pic.twitter.com/AUlJAUTaSa — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) March 18, 2026 Filling in for Tom Llamas, Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker began: “[W]e have new body cam footage tonight showing a deadly police standoff with a man who served on a U.S. Congresswoman’s security team, Ryan Nobles, now with the video, and the questions being raised about how the suspect ever got the job.” Capitol Hill correspondent Ryan Nobles spent most of his story narrating the footage: NOBLES: Tonight, new police footage of the lead up to the death of a man who once served as a member of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s security detail. DALLAS POLICE OFFICER: Hey, stop the car! Move your car! Move your car! NOBLES: 39-year-old Diamond Robinson was shot and killed after appearing to point a gun at police during a standoff. That video shows police chasing after the car he was driving, which had been flagged for having stolen plates. Nobles added police “followed [Robinson] him into a garage where he refused to get out of his car” and, after a soundbite from Dallas police executive assistant chief Terrence Rhodes that police offered a chance to talk to family members, “[p]olice fired tear gas to force Robinson out of his car,” who proceeded to “put his hands to his waist, and police say eventually pointed a gun.” Unsurprisingly, officers then opened fire, killing Robinson. Then came even more shadiness: “Police say Robinson, who was known as Mike King to Congresswoman Crockett and her staff, had multiple aliases and accused him of wearing police-style uniforms to falsely represent himself as a federal agent.” He concluded with Crockett feigning outrage and saying she had “lose a primary for U.S. Senate” without stating the party: Congresswoman Crockett, who recently lost a primary for U.S. Senate in Texas, said that Robinson’s past, “doesn’t fit the person we came to know as Mike King.” Congressman Crockett wants to know how Robinson got through the vetting process to make it on her security detail, calling the situation incredibly alarming[.] Earth to Nobles: It sure seems like Crockett was defending her fraudulent bodyguard. Do we have another Cori Bush situation on our hands? In contrast, the Fox News had multiple stories about Crockett, both on the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital. One piece of information left out was the fact that, according to a Monday piece at Fox News Digital, “Dallas Police also said 11 firearms were recovered during their investigation, including the handgun he was holding during the shooting, which was reported stolen” and that “[t]he agencies that he reported to work for do not exist.” And a bodyguard’s deadly confrontation with police came less than a month after she had her team remove a reporter from The Atlantic (which was comical considering its perhaps the liberal elite’s favorite magazine).
