Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett Slammed for Mocking Gov. Greg Abbott’s Disability with ‘Hot Wheels’ Remark

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is under fire for mocking Governor Greg Abbott’s disability, referring to him as “Governor Hot Wheels” during a recent speech. The remark, made at a Human Rights Campaign event, drew swift criticism for its insensitivity. Abbott, who has used a wheelchair since a life-altering accident in 1984, has long been seen as a symbol of resilience. Crockett’s comments are the latest in a string of controversial statements that continue to raise eyebrows on both sides of the aisle.
