Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, aged 43, recently stirred controversy with comments made at the Human Rights Campaign’s 2025 dinner in Los Angeles. She referred to Texas Governor Greg Abbott, 67, as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Abbott has used a wheelchair since 1984 after an accident. Crockett clarified on Twitter that her remark was not about Abbott’s disability but his policies, particularly his use of various transportation methods to move migrants. She emphasized that her next comment was about his policies being a “hot ass mess.” Despite her explanation, 43% of the replies to her tweet were hostile. Some accused her of hypocrisy and ignorance. Texas Republicans have called for her censure, though it’s uncertain if Congress will act. The situation remains under scrutiny as further developments unfold.
