Rep. Jasmine Crockett Faces Censure Push Over 'Governor Hot Wheels' Remark

Crockett defends her comments as policy-focused, while Gov. Abbott and Republicans condemn them as discriminatory and divisive.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett referred to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as 'Governor Hot Wheels' during a Human Rights Campaign event, drawing criticism for allegedly mocking his disability.
Crockett has denied her remarks targeted Abbott's use of a wheelchair, stating they were meant to criticize his migrant transfer policies.
Gov. Greg Abbott responded, accusing Democrats of lacking vision and relying on divisive rhetoric, and framed the controversy as a distraction from Republican successes.
Rep. Randy Weber has formally introduced a resolution to censure Crockett, calling her comments 'unbecoming of a Member of Congress' and 'discriminatory.'
The incident has reignited broader debates on political rhetoric, double standards, and the treatment of public figures with disabilities.
