Rep. Jasmine Crockett Defends Controversial Remarks on Gov. Greg Abbott Amid GOP Backlash

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett is defending herself against backlash after referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as 'Governor Hot Wheels' during a Human Rights Campaign dinner. While Crockett maintains her remarks focused on Abbott's immigration policies, critics, including Texas Republican Rep. Randy Weber, plan to censure her, deeming her comments discriminatory. Crockett, seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, emphasizes that her words were not aimed at Abbott's disability but rather his handling of migrant transportation, challenging GOP members for their inconsistent outrage over derogatory language related to disabilities.
