Far-left Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett might find herself in the same place as fellow Texas Democrat Al Green, whom the U.S. House censured for disrupting President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress.
It wasn’t enough for Crockett to say GOP Senator Ted Cruz of Texas needed to be “knocked over the head.”
On Saturday, she called Governor Greg Abbott of Texas, who is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair, “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Now, she faces a censure resolution.
Crockett has become an increasing embarrassment to the delegation from Texas and the whole House because of her dangerous, incendiary, and oftentimes uninformed rhetoric.
The Latest
The latest from the woman known as “Crazy Crockett” in some quarters came during a speech to the Human Rights Campaign, a homosexual lobby group that backs surgical mutilation and chemical castration for “trans kids.”
Said the congresswoman:
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.
The lavender audience roared approved.
Called out for the insensitive remark, Crockett later complained that the real problem in politics is President Donald Trump.
“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,” she wrote on X:
Literally, the next line I said was that he was a “Hot A** Mess,” referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition. So, I’m even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump — a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities — are now outraged.
Republicans Outraged
Understandably, Republicans are fuming.
Abbott, 67, was paralyzed in a freak accident when he was 26. When the up-and-coming lawyer broke from his studies for the bar exam by going for a run in Houston, “a large oak tree along his path cracked and fell on [his] back, leaving him forever paralyzed from the waist down,” his biography says.
The tree broke ribs and damaged vital organs, but even worse, crushed several vertebrae, “splintering his spinal cord.” Paralyzed waist down, the pro-Trump governor has been confined to a wheelchair ever since.
Thus, GOP Representative Randy Weber has introduced a censure resolution to punish Crockett for her wildly insensitive comments.
[T]he remarks from Representative Crockett are discriminatory in nature and are the latest in a continued series of inappropriate comments expressed by Representative Crockett, such as on May 16, 2024, during a hearing of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, when Representative Crockett espoused inflammatory comments about the appearance of another Member of Congress.
At the May 16 hearing, Crockett had told GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia she had a “bleach-blonde, bad-built butch body.” A catfight had erupted between Greene, Crockett, and far-left Democrat Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez when The Texas Democrat uttered the remark.
As with Green, the resolution commands Crockett to present herself in the well of the House to be censured.
Punch Opponents, Brain Cruz
Crockett has been on a roll for some time. During a recent interview with Lone Star Politics, a joint enterprise of NBC5 in Dallas and the city’s Morning News, she used the rhetoric of violence.
Asked how Democrats could start winning in Texas, Crockett said they must “punch. I think you punch. I think you’re OK with — you’re OK with punching.”
But she also targeted Cruz:
[T]his dude has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right? Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all. Like, you go clean off on him, right?
Beyond the incendiary rhetoric, however, is Crockett’s ill-informed remarks.
Today, she peddled the myth of the “wage gap” on X.
“It’s #EqualPayDay, y’all… and in 2025, the wage gap just got WORSE — widening for the first time in 20 years,” she wrote:
Women still aren’t paid equally, and women of color are hit hardest.
Equal work deserves equal pay.
This is a justice, economic, and American issue.
The wage-gap myth was busted years ago, which suggests that it might behoove Madame Crockett to learn something about economics and keep up with the latest news.
A lawyer who should know better, Crockett has also wrongly claimed that illegally crossing the southwest border with Mexico isn’t a crime.
If the House censures Crockett, it will be the second censure of a Texas Democrat this month.
On March 4, the House punished Green for a deranged, incoherent outburst about Medicaid during Trump’s oration. House Speaker Mike Johnson had him removed from the floor. Other Democrats walked out.
When he appeared in the well and the House censured him, fellow-traveling far-left extremist Democrats surrounded him and warbled the old “civil rights” tune, We Shall Overcome.
“I rise a proud, liberated Democrat — unbought, unbossed, and unafraid,” Green said, adding that Johnson had done his job by tossing him from the chamber.
Still, Green said, “we have to do what is necessary. I believe we have to engage in a level of positive, righteous incivility.”
Crockett, apparently, has taken Green’s prescription to heart.
