Democrat Jasmine Crockett laughingly mocks disabled Republican: 'Governor Hot Wheels'

"We in these hot a-- Texas streets, honey. 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 a-- mess, honey!" she said, laughing.

"House Dems' top spox Jasmine Crockett applauded after attacking Texas Governor Abbott for using a wheelchair," the NRCC posted on X. "Recent polling shows Crazy Crockett as one of the leaders of the Democrat Party. This is who they are."

Meanwhile, Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., responded, "FYI to the new spokeswoman for the Democrat party - Greg Abbott became paralyzed after a huge oak tree fell on him, crushing his spine. But sure, go with 'hot wheels.'"

Crockett's rhetoric has garnered significant condemnation from other leaders as well as outrage online in the last several days.

In response to a question about how Democrats can win elections, specifically in the red state of Texas, Crockett said, "I think that you punch, I think you punch, I think you OK with punching."

"It's Ted Cruz," she went on. "I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like you go clean off on him."

"Crockett's comments are disgraceful," said Cornyn. "Can you imagine if a Republican said something like this? It would be on [the] front page of NYT [New York Times] and all over CNN."

Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk also spoke out against Crockett's comments, saying, "Jasmine Crockett continues to embarrass herself, the state of Texas, and the US Congress by referring to Governor Greg Abbott as 'Governor Hot Wheels.'"

"Gov. Abbott was paralyzed at the age of 26 when an oak tree fell and crushed his spine while jogging. This woman is trash," said Kirk.

Abbott has been wheelchair-bound since he was struck by a falling tree while on a jog at age 26.
