Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott knocked Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett for calling him “Governor Hot Wheels,” saying comments like hers will leave the party “in the dust” in future elections.

Abbott told Sean Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night, “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.”

Over the weekend, Crockett spoke at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles and referred to Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Abbott was left paralyzed at the age of 26 after a large oak tree fell on him while he was out on a jog.

Crockett later tried to walk back her comments in a post on X, claiming she “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. Literally, the next line I said was that he was a ‘Hot A** Mess,’ referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition.”

House Rep. Randy Weber said he would be introducing a censure resolution against Crockett. He said, “The story of our great governor of Texas is one of unwavering resilience and perseverance. Meanwhile, the actions of Jasmine Crockett – stooping to vile levels of discrimination and despicable political attacks – are nothing short of reprehensible.” 

Weber added, “It’s painfully obvious she was never taught a single thing about Texas class, as her behavior is a disgrace to everything Texas and the United States stands for.” The resolution calls Crockett’s comments “discriminatory in nature” and “the latest in a continued series of inappropriate comments expressed by the representative from Texas.”

Crockett’s comments follow another tirade she had last week, during which she suggested that Tesla CEO Elon Musk should be “taken down.”
