Texas Governor Greg Abbott has hit back at left-wing Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett after she mocked his use of a wheelchair, claiming the Democrats have “nothing to sell but hate.”
The firebrand Texas Rep. was slammed after she branded Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” on Monday during a Human Rights Campaign Dinner in Los Angeles.
Abbott, who has used a wheelchair since 1984 when a tree fell on his back in a freak accident, brushed aside Crockett’s nasty jibe in an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” late on Tuesday.
“It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it,” he told host Sean Hannity. “It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red.”
Crockett responded to the criticism by bizarrely claiming her remarks had nothing to do with Abbott’s disability.
“I 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,” she wrote in a statement on X. “Keep that same energy for all people, not just your political adversaries.”
