Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett sparked outrage after mocking Governor Greg Abbott’s disability during a Los Angeles speech. While Democrats scramble to defend her, conservatives rightly highlight the party’s growing pattern of resorting to personal attacks instead of policy debates.
During a Human Rights Campaign event, Crockett referred to Abbott as “Gov. Hot Wheels” and a “hot a– mess.” The remark targeted Abbott’s use of a wheelchair—a result of a 1984 accident that left him paralyzed. Republicans swiftly condemned the insult, with Senator John Cornyn calling it “shameful” and AG Ken Paxton labeling Crockett “despicable”. Even former Obama adviser Van Jones admitted the comment “sounded bad”.
Crockett claims she criticized Abbott’s immigration policies, not his disability. Yet her deliberate nickname choice reveals a darker strategy: dehumanize opponents rather than debate ideas. This mirrors past Democratic attacks, like Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt’s 2019 jab that Abbott “hates trees because one fell on him”. President Trump rightly noted Crockett’s remarks reflect Democrats’ emptiness: “They have nothing to sell but hate”.
Democrats feign outrage over disability mockery—except when their allies do it. Crockett defended herself by citing Trump’s past remarks, ignoring that her party spent years condemning those same actions. Now, they excuse her cruelty as “satire.” Conservatives reject this hypocrisy. Abbott emphasized Republican states like Texas are “leading the way” through results, not cheap insults.
Congressman Randy Weber plans to censure Crockett, forcing House Democrats to either condemn her behavior or embrace it. The move exposes Democratic leadership’s silence. While Crockett’s viral clashes with Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene boost her profile, this latest stunt risks alienating moderate voters tired of toxic rhetoric.
Crockett’s track record includes profiting from merchandise featuring insults like “bleach blonde bad built butch body”. Such antics might play well with far-left activists but undermine civil discourse. Democrats increasingly rely on personal attacks as their radical policies fail to resonate with mainstream America.
Despite decades in a wheelchair, Abbott transformed Texas into an economic powerhouse through lower taxes, energy independence, and border security. Crockett’s attempt to diminish his legacy only highlights Democrats’ inability to match Republican achievements.
Democrats’ descent into mockery showcases their ideological bankruptcy. While conservatives focus on solutions, the left peddles hatred and division. As Abbott said: “We’ll leave them in the dust”. Americans deserve better than cheap shots from failed politicians like Crockett.
