Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) largely brushed off Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s (D-TX) new nickname for him, arguing this is just “another disaster” for the Democratic Party following the 2024 election.

Crockett deemed Abbott, 67, “Governor Hot Wheels” at a recent Human Rights Campaign banquet, drawing ire on social media as Abbott has used a wheelchair ever since an accident when he was 26. In response to Crockett, the governor said her comment further illustrates that her party has “nothing to sell but hate” to voters and that voters are not buying.
