Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is facing intense backlash after referring to Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” during a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend. The moment, caught on video and widely circulated on social media, has sparked bipartisan criticism and renewed scrutiny of Crockett’s recent behavior.

Governor Abbott, who was paralyzed from the waist down in his 20s after a tragic accident, has served as a symbol of resilience for many Texans. Crockett’s remarks have been called insensitive and inappropriate, with Texas Senator John Cornyn labeling the comment “disgraceful.” He added that if a Republican had said the same, it would be dominating national headlines.

The congresswoman’s office has not responded to media requests for clarification or apology, according to NBC News.

This isn’t the first time Crockett has made headlines for inflammatory comments. In recent weeks, she has drawn criticism for a string of controversial statements, including suggesting physical confrontations with Senator Ted Cruz and making veiled calls for Democrats to “take down” Elon Musk. Critics accuse Crockett of engaging in reckless rhetoric that crosses the line from political disagreement into personal attacks.

As the backlash intensifies, many are calling on Democratic leadership to address the growing list of controversies surrounding Crockett. For now, the silence from her office has only fueled the outrage.
