Rep. Jasmine Crockett faced backlash for referring to Texas Governor Greg Abbott as 'Governor Hot Wheels' during a speech. She defended her remarks, insisting they were directed at his policies, particularly his handling of migrant transfers, and not aimed at mocking his disability. Crockett expressed discontent over the outrage from supporters of Trump, challenging critics to focus on substantive political issues rather than personal attacks. Following her comments, a resolution to censure her was introduced by Rep. Randy Weber, deeming her remarks discriminatory.
Crockett stated her remarks were about policies, not Abbott's disability, asserting, 'I wasn't thinking about the governor's condition... referencing his terrible policies.'
She criticized the backlash from those who support Trump, claiming they should focus on the work of the people rather than her comments.
