Queen of the wild Dems here

Yesterday the Washington Post ran a story on Rep. Jasmine Crockett under the headline “Rep. Crockett refers to Greg Abbott, who is disabled, as ‘Governor Hot Wheels’’ along with a variation on the obligatory “Republicans pounce” subhead. Jewish World Review runs the Washington Post story under the somewhat more entertaining headline “Crackpot Crockett refers to Greg Abbott, who is disabled, as ‘Governor Hot Wheels.’” To my purposes, the story usefully identifies the video of “crackpot Crockett” publicized by the National Republican Congressional Committee.

House Dems’ top spox Jasmine Crockett applauded after attacking Texas Governor Abbott for using a wheelchair:

“Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there!”

The lady has an explanation:

In a post shared on X on Tuesday – hours after her brief comments to reporters outside the House floor – Crockett sought to clarify her remarks about Abbott, saying that she “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.”

“Literally, the next line I said was that he was a ‘Hot A** Mess,’ referencing his terrible policies,” Crockett wrote. “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.”

When the exculpatory line is “Hot Ass Mess,” you have to wonder if the lady is a Republican plant.
