Rising Democratic Star Jasmine Crockett Calls Paraplegic Greg Abbott 'Governor Hot Wheels' | 25 March 2025 | During a speech at the Human Rights Campaign Monday night, Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett called Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is confined to a wheelchair, "Governor Hot Wheels" and a "hot-ass mess." "Y'all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now. And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-ass mess, honey,” Crockett said in her speech to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. Abbott has been paralyzed from the waist down since a massive oak tree fell on his back over 40 years ago... Crockett’s remarks add to a string of antagonistic comments she has made recently toward Republican lawmakers. On March 23, Crockett said she thinks Democrats should metaphorically "punch" Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
