Crockett liked posts calling Abbott ‘Hot Wheels’ before he started busing migrants, despite her explanation – Washington Examiner
Representative jasmine Crockett (D-TX) faced backlash after referring to Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) as “Governor Hot wheels” during a speech at a Human Rights Campaign event,which many interpreted as mocking his disability. Crockett explained that her comment was intended to criticize Abbott’s policy of busing migrants rather than to belittle his condition; however, evidence surfaced showing that she had previously liked social media posts referring to Abbott as “Hot Wheels” before the busing began. An investigation revealed she interacted wiht comments derogatory towards Abbott in June 2021,well before he initiated the migrant busing policy in summer 2022.
Following her remarks, Crockett attempted to clarify her intent by stating she was focused on Abbott’s transportation of migrants into predominantly Black communities, which she described as a deliberate act of provoking fear. In response,Abbott downplayed the insult,labeling it as part of a broader trend of Democratic negativity. Amid the controversy, Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a censure resolution against Crockett, condemning her comments as discriminatory.
Crockett liked posts calling Abbott ‘Hot Wheels’ before he started busing migrants, despite her explanation
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said she was referring to Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) busing migrants north when she called him “Governor Hot Wheels” and was not making fun of his disability. However, a new report revealed she liked social media posts calling Abbott “Hot Wheels” before the busing began.
Crockett drew outrage on Saturday when she appeared to make fun of Abbott’s disability at a Human Rights Campaign event by derisively calling him “Governor Hot Wheels.” Abbott has been in a wheelchair since age 26 after being paralyzed in 1984 when a tree fell on him and broke his back.
A Washington Free Beacon investigation cast doubt on Crockett’s claim that she was referring to his migrant busing policy. The investigation found that she liked social media posts calling Abbott “Hot Wheels” before he started busing migrants north.
In June 2021, she liked a Facebook comment saying “Hot Wheels something else,” then later in the month responded with a heart emoji to the comment, “When I say I sick of hot wheels….I am SICK OF HIM.”
The following month, she responded with a positive emoji to the comment, “Keep making Gov Hot Wheels Mad.”
Abbott began busing migrants north in the summer of 2022, over a year after Crockett liked the comments.
Crockett’s migrant busing explanation came in a Tuesday post on X after she faced heavy criticism for her comments.
“I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable,” Crockett said.
She used the choice language while speaking at the 2025 Human Rights Campaign Los Angeles Dinner on Saturday.
“We in these hot a** Texas streets, honey. Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there. Come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he’s a hot-a** mess, honey! Yes, yes, yes, yes!” Crockett said.
Abbott dismissed the insult in a Tuesday appearance on Fox News’s Hannity.
“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it,” he said. “It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red.”
JASMINE CROCKETT FACES CENSURE RESOLUTION OVER ‘HOT WHEELS’ COMMENT ABOUT GREG ABBOTT
Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a censure resolution this week, his office told the Washington Examiner.
“The story of our great governor of Texas is one of unwavering resilience and perseverance,” Weber said in a statement. “Meanwhile, the actions of Jasmine Crockett — stooping to vile levels of discrimination and despicable political attacks — are nothing short of reprehensible. She must be censured and held accountable for the venomous rhetoric she spews as a representative of the Democratic Party.”
