Crockett Mocked Abbott's Disability, Faces Censure

Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett is under fire for mocking Governor Greg Abbott's use of a wheelchair during a Human Rights Campaign event in Los Angeles. Referring to Abbott as 'Governor Hot Wheels,' Crockett's remarks have sparked backlash from Republicans and conservative commentators, who have condemned the comments as discriminatory and inappropriate. Rep. Randy Weber has introduced a resolution to censure Crockett, describing her rhetoric as vile and disrespectful. Abbott, paralyzed since a jogging accident in 1984, has not responded publicly, nor has Crockett's office. The incident has drawn criticism from figures like Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator John Cornyn, emphasizing the divisive political climate and the ongoing tensions between Democrats and Republicans.
