Crockett is being criticized for referring to Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, as "Governor Hot Wheels." She says she wasn't referring to the wheelchair.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Democrats lack vision and policy proposals after U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, referred to him as “Governor Hot Wheels." Abbott has used a wheelchair since he was partially paralyzed as a young man in 1984 when a tree fell on him.

The rising Democratic lawmaker, who has been vocal about DEI and DOGE, slammed her state's governor during an event on Monday.
