Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a resolution to censure Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) after she referred to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Abbott is disabled and uses a wheelchair.
“The story of our great governor of Texas is one of unwavering resilience and perseverance. Meanwhile, the actions of Jasmine Crockett – stooping to vile levels of discrimination and despicable political attacks – are nothing short of reprehensible,” Weber told Fox News Digital.

Fox News reports:
He said the House should censure Crockett “for the venomous rhetoric she spews as a representative of the Democratic Party.”
“It’s painfully obvious she was never taught a single thing about Texas class, as her behavior is a disgrace to everything Texas and the United States stands for,” Weber said.
Crockett made the comments during an event held by the Human Rights Campaign over the weekend. She has since denied she was mocking Abbott’s disability.
“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 a– mess, honey,” Crockett said.
Abbott has been paraplegic since age 26, according to his campaign website, when a large oak tree fell on him during a jog.
WATCH [EXPLICIT LANGUAGE]:
Jasmine Crockett continues to embarrass herself, the state of Texas, and the US Congress by referring to Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels.” Gov. Abbott was paralyzed at the age of 26 when an oak tree fell and crushed his spine while jogging.

Per Axios:
The two-page resolution, a copy of which was obtained by Axios, calls Crockett’s remarks “unbecoming of a Member of Congress” and “discriminatory in nature.”
It also says they were “the latest in a series of inappropriate comments,” pointing to Crockett saying Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has a “bad built, bleach blonde, butch body” during an Oversight Committee hearing last year.
Crockett would be the second House Democrat censured just this year and the fifth since Republicans took back the House majority in 2023.
All House Republicans and 10 Democrats voted to censure Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) earlier this month for disrupting President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress.
Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) were all censured in 2023.
