I'm glad she said this, just to expose GOP hypocrisy.

Below pond scum

Sometimes a bully needs to get "a taste of his own medicine". It often only needs to happen once. It's an "alpha" thing. You keep retreating and they will keep bullying.

Sometimes, enough is enough.

are off limits in my view. There are lots of other insults that would have worked. sorry. She was wrong in my opinion

disability or not. He's an evil SOB. One needs to hurl at his "boss" at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as well -

How can anyone justify such behavior. Abbott may be a butt yet that doesn’t mean his disability should be mocked

And posting Rump’s bad behavior doesn’t make Crockett’s right. You are simply equating them. Not a good look for her

If you have ever followed and/or listened to Jasmine Crockett - a TX Rep. - you will soon discover what "her style" is and like many Texans, she pulls no punches.

In my opinion. (so we both are entitled right?)

in my opinion. We’ll just leave it at that.

it is unprofessional

This is what high school bullies do. It's way past time to punch them collectively in the nose.

They can dish it out but they sure can't take it.

Fucking snowflakes.

Did he say or do that prompted her to insult his disability?

Go clutch your pearls elsewhere.

Abbott is killing Texas women.

WHY would she say such a thing about a person’s disability? Just because Rump did it doesn’t make it ok

according to the article, which cites her own reasonable explanation. That alone should suffice, but instead you suggest she was mocking him.

In my opinion it was given the fact that he has to use a wheel chair to get around. Giving it a “cute” name of hot wheels doesn’t change the mockery there. What was her lame excuse for such an insult? There is no reasonable explanation in my view unless he himself referred to his chair as such

The explanation is surprising.

WHY does a person need a wheelchair? Answer. He’s DISABLED. Period.

I agree with you. She shouldn't have said it.

They practically suggest euthanasia of any non-millionaire with a medical condition, but crawl up on a cross if someone fails to sympathize with their situation.

Two-faced moral schizos and sadistic little dog-kickers, the lot of them, but if you laugh at them for any reason, you're a monster and they know why the caged bird sings.

GOP, the Punchable Face Party.

The equivalent of a "sternly-worded letter".

Republicans don't do things with the expectation of a result. That would be too rational. They just get a bully's pleasure out of Satanic hypocrisy. Lying, absurd posturing, and making decent people despair makes their day. Makes their tiny wieners hard.

make it right. Does he call himself that?

They could each introduce a resolution for an individual, offensive comment made by an R. I’m sure we could come up with enough. Do it simultaneously and en masse.

I say facetiously but it makes a nice daydream.

hypocrisy is ridiculous. Why is the media not covering THAT?

The very House Republicans demanding this censure have been attacking and gutting every law and policy meant to help the disabled. They're trying to erase them altogether under this "anti-DEI" bullshit. The hypocrisy is WAY beyond ridiculous. How many disabled people are about to lose their Social Security disability while these motherfuckers happily let it happen?

excuse/explanation for her insensitive insult

To me, it reminds me of 1968 -

(got a basic set for Christmas at some point with a piece of track that was missing the clip to make the "loop" )

Nothing. To someone in a wheelchair? Mockery

If anything, you have paralympic participants who excel in their "hot wheels".



Abbott and the party that he belongs to, doesn't give a shit about the disabled or even vets - GOP Attacks Democrat Who Lost Both Legs In Iraq For 'Not Standing' For Vets

She meant it as an insult to a disabled person. Why are some making this out to be an okay thing by comparing it to irrelevant cases? I do not get it

Apparently you don't "get it".

Greg Abbott has been called that nickname for years. He knows about it. Some of his supporters even use it. I'm not saying it's right, but if you are going to call her out for it you shouldn't be using insensitive descriptions to do so.

Greg Abbott is a cruel, evil, heinous man. He doesn't treat women as equal human beings, he doesn't treat immigrants as equal human beings, and he's terrible on disability issues.

How utterly ridiculous to think that was meant as an insult to the person in the wheelchair. Get a grip and stop twisting it like a pretzel

He may be terrible but he is still disabled. Attack his awfulness not his disability. It is wrong. If you’ve ever had a disabled family member taunted you would not think Crockett was right

we can’t call him a lame duck, eh?

Trump also referred to Vice President Harris as “retarded" during the campaign, and Elon regularly insults people by calling them "retards" on Twitter.

and gut the Americans With Disabilities Act have their tighty whiteys in a bunch because she called that despicable bag of shit "Hotwheels"? Are you fucking kidding me? GOPers are forever the biggest goddamn fucking hypocrites in the universe.

behave like them and use insulting language against a disabled person?

This "high road" you speak of has gotten us NOWHERE with these assholes, other than constantly stepped on. What Abbott and his ilk are actually doing to disabled people is MASSIVELY more insulting to them than is calling that piece of shit "Hot Wheels."

Stooping to their level involving a disabled person is not the answer

Get back to me when the Dems start gutting disability protections, and cutting disabled people off of their Social Security disability payments.

language about fucking anything.

You don't get to be the "fuck your feelings" brigade AND the fucking morality police at the same fucking time. Fucking choose already, you hypocritical fascist fucks.

Pointless and does nothing. Waste of time to distract from their Signal fuck up. She should get a copy of whatever document they record this on and wipe her ass with it.

especially if you are a non white female.

How Gov. Greg Abbott won millions and helped stop Texans from doing the same

Forty years ago this week, a tree fell on Greg Abbott, paralyzing the future governor from the waist down. He sued for damages and won millions—and then helped stop Texans from doing the same.

Forty years ago this week, a 26-year-old law school graduate named Greg Abbott was out jogging on the streets of River Oaks when a tree snapped and fell, paralyzing him from the waist down. Abbott, in the midst of studying for the bar, sued the tree owner and later the tree-trimming company that had neglected the 75-year-old tree. He won a multimillion-dollar settlement, the details of which remained private for years.

Decades later, Abbott campaigned in support of tort reform curtailing "frivolous" lawsuits and won. Abbott's critics claimed that he helped usher in a Texas significantly less friendly to plaintiffs seeking damages like the ones Abbott won. Looking back on the case 40 years later, Don Riddle, Abbott's personal injury lawyer at the time, agrees that Texas has changed.

"It would be next to impossible to get the kind of settlement we got," Riddle told Chron Monday. Tort reform, or as Riddle calls it, "tort deform," has severely capped the kind of damages individuals can seek out, and Riddle doesn't see that changing in Texas anytime soon. So how did we get here, and how did Abbott come to turn against the legal mechanism that made him millions?

Sorry...but this POS doesn't get a pass just because he's a disabled POS.

One of those 10 moronic & traitorous House Democrats that voted for censure against The Honorable US House of Representative Al Green should have already submitted their censure bills on Keith Self, Nancy Mace, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Lauren Boebert weeks ago, but they are not people of morals, character, and integrity!!
