Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett insults Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for using wheelchair in latest nasty gaffe
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Texas’ firebrand lefty Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett poked fun at Lone Star State Gov. Greg Abbott for using a wheelchair — calling him “Governor Hot Wheels” in her latest eyebrow-raising gaffe .
“We in these hot-ass Texas streets, honey,” Crockett, who represents Texas’ 30th Congressional District that includes Dallas, said at the Human Rights Campaign’s 2025 dinner in Los Angeles Saturday.
“Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, Come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess, honey,” she added.
Republican Abbott, 67, has used a wheelchair since 1984, when he was paralyzed after an oak tree fell on him while he was out on a run.
While Crockett’s cruel remark was met with laughter and applause from the audience, it drew criticism from many — especially since the 43-year-old was speaking for an organization that bills itself as existing to “develop a more affirming, inclusive, and equitable community.”
“Today, the unquestioned leader of the Democratic Party, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, mocks [Abbott] with the insult ‘Governor Hot Wheels,'” right-wing CNN contributor Scott Jennings wrote on X .
“Democrats, please keep giving Jasmine Crockett the microphone We’ll never lose an election again,” wrote college swimmer-turned conservative activist Riley Gaines .
Charlie Kirk — founder of conservative organization Turning Point USA — put it more bluntly.
“This woman is trash,” he wrote .
But some said they had little sympathy for the right-wing outrage — citing President Trump’s infamous 2015 mockery of a disabled New York Times journalist and other remarks he’s made in the public eye.
Crockett’s comments were just her latest to draw controversy .
In December, she referred to Hispanic Trump voters as having a “slave mentality” in an interview with Vanity Fair , in which she also said, “I don’t trust white women” and blamed them for both Hillary Clinton’s and Kamala Harris’ losses in presidential elections.
She has also repeatedly called Trump a “dictator,” and earlier in March speculated that he would suspend the 2028 presidential elections and hold on to power.
Neither Crockett nor the Human Rights Campaign responded to requests for comment.

They are too busy supporting domestic terrorists and making a mountain out of a chat mole hill.
“Just to update the score board…”
Rather than keeping score, perhaps our collective energy would be better spent in acknowledging all abhorrent behavior found at every level, get involved, and not buy in to the venomous vitriol. Just my opinion…
…and yes, the comments were insensitive at best, and inflammatory as stated.
We will when the left finally holds their own accountable for everything they accuse the right of.
Still waiting for leftist to denounce Brandon for his preemptive pardons- especially for his family members. Remember when Democrats were screaming bloody murder about Trump doing it before he left office after his first term. Never happened with Trump; but we can always count on Democrats to sink to new lows. Of course Bobble head boy Adam Schiff is threatening to bar Trump from doing preemptive pardons. Where was he to stop Brandon?
We will be waiting a very damn long time.
The Dems need more people like Jasmine, AOC, and the rest of the Squad wackos, not to mention Maxine Waters.
These weirdos are ongoing gifts to the Republican party.
The Republican party is run by a convicted felon and accused rapist and has lost all credibility. This supposed concern for a disabled persons feelings is total bullshit, they have zero empathy for anyone other than themselves. These crocodile tears are for show only and aren't fooling anyone with more than half a brain.
I bet plenty of disabled people would think Governor hot wheels is funny. The only ones I can think of that I know would laugh at that.
"And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot ass mess, honey,”
That funny too?
Yes, he is a fucking hot mess of a politician.
She is only trying to take the place of the money laundering to her husband for "security" "Squad" member.
Please, dumbass, keep going with the mouthing off. We see what happened to the one you are trying to emulate. Where in Congress is she?
Oh, wait......
Hopefully, her demise in Congress will also be yours.
I’m sure the people who also believe Biden kicked trumps ass at the first debate agree with you.
So Trump mocking a disabled reporter is okay? That should have stopped his first campaign if Republicans cared. Trump went as far as to mimic the reporter with obscene shaking palsy movements in ridicule. Re-watch the clip, easy to find.
How about Trump asking that disabled veterans be excluded from a veterans ceremony because Trump thought it "looked bad" for the cameras.
DOGE going after the Veterans Administration and veterans healthcare is far, far worse since so many veterans are disabled.
Read her statement clarifying the entire context. Trump has repeatedly done and said far, far worse.
Democrats don't care about this because a Democrat said it. That's the only thing that ever matters.
ead her statement clarifying the entire context?
I did. It's obvious she's now lying to Democrats' faces and rubbing their nose in it. Democrats know she's lying. She knows Democrats know she's lying but will sit and take it nicely. It's the super lie, a lie so brazen it acts as a mark of power, because she knows her Democratic audience will submit, even though everyone knows it's a lie.
