During a speech at a Human Rights Campaign event in Los Angeles, outspoken far-left U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) resorted to mocking Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R), who is paralyzed from the waist down, referring to him as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Crockett’s remarks came as she was narrating her efforts to fight for her constituents, mentioning the intense heat they endure in Texas. She then looked up from her notes, smiled, and remarked, “Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now!” while pounding the lectern.
Crockett further added, “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-ass mess, honey!” Both of these statements were met with laughter, hoots, hollers, and applause from the audience.
Abbott, aged 67, has been confined to a wheelchair since the age of 26 due to a tragic incident where a tree fell on his back while he was jogging, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.

As of early Tuesday afternoon, Crockett had not addressed her remarks about Abbott on her social media accounts. However, she did repost a dig at Abbott from a “comedian and model” named Stacy Cay, who openly states her dislike for Republicans in her bio. Cay mocked a photo of Abbott in his wheelchair, where he mentioned visiting the White House to discuss returning “education back to the states — where it belongs” with former President Donald Trump.
Cay’s mocking comment read, “Rolling up to the White House to cheer on the president destroying the agency that makes sure kids in wheelchairs have equal access to education is wild.”
As of early Tuesday afternoon, Abbott had not addressed Crockett’s remarks about him from her Human Rights Campaign speech.
However, several others condemned Crockett’s statements:
“Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) called Crockett’s remarks “shameful” and added that “if this is who Democrats are turning to for leadership, they’ve got a tough road ahead.”

Activist Scott Presler said, “I don’t use this word often, but Jasmine Crockett truly is wicked. To call Greg Abbott ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ is cruel, contemptible & speaks to your lack of character. … If Jasmine Crockett represents the Democrat party, I want nothing to do with Democrats. Despicable.”
“TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk called Crockett “trash” and said she “continues to embarrass herself, the state of Texas, and the US Congress by referring to Governor Greg Abbott as ‘Governor Hot Wheels.'”
“CNN pundit Scott Jennings pointed out Crockett’s “insult” while dubbing her the “unquestioned leader of the Democratic Party.””
Crockett has been particularly critical of Republicans and the Trump administration recently. Last week, she urged an anti-Tesla activist group to have Elon Musk “taken down” on her birthday. After Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress earlier this month, Crockett said, “What is happening? Like, this is not America! This is a terrible nightmare! Somebody slap me and wake me the f**k up, ‘cuz I’m ready to get on with it!”
