House Republicans move to censure Jasmine Crockett over 'Hot Wheels' dig
House Republican Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) said he will introduce a censure resolution against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) after she called Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), who uses a wheelchair, “hot wheels."
Crockett was speaking before the Human Rights Campaign banquet in Los Angeles when she knocked the far-right governor.
“You all know we got Gov. Hot Wheels down there. Come on, now,” Crockett said. “And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-a-- mess, honey.”
