Democrat Jasmine Crockett mocks Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair, calls him 'Governor Hot Wheels'

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett mocked wheelchair-bound Republican Greg Abbott, calling him "Governor Hot Wheels."

The claim came to light in a viral video posted on social media of his speech at the Human Rights Campaign event. Crockett also referred to Abbott as a "mess."

"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," the Democrat said.

The comments generated backlash on social media, with the National Republican Congressional Committee calling the words "disgusting insults."

In addition, the committee questioned whether House Democrats will condemn Crockett's comments.

"Jasmine Crockett is the perfect spokesperson for today’s Democrats — out of touch and completely unhinged. When you’ve got no message and no agenda, all that’s left is hate," said Mike Marinella, NRCC spokesman.

The governor also responded and argued that the comments show that Democrats have no vision.

"It's another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it," Abbott said in an interview on Hannity.

The representative addressed the situation following the reactions and assured that she was not referring to the Republican's condition:

"I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable," Crockett said on his X account.

Gov. Abbott has been in a wheelchair for more than 40 years. He suffered severe paralysis due to a tragic accident in 1984.

"While out running, a large oak tree along his path cracked and fell on Governor Abbott’s back, leaving him forever paralyzed from the waist down," explained his official website.
