During a recent Human Rights Campaign banquet in Los Angeles, Rep. Jasmine Crockett kept it all the way real — but her words came with heat. While addressing the crowd on Saturday, she referred to Texas Governor Greg Abbott as “Gov. Hot Wheels.” Now, Abbott has been in a wheelchair since a tragic accident in 1984, so you already know that comment stirred the pot — especially with conservatives.
But Crockett, who reps Texas’ 30th Congressional District, was quick to clarify her intent. She explained Tuesday night that the jab wasn’t about Abbott’s disability but his policies. “I want to be clear — my critique was about what he stands for, not his wheelchair,” she stated.
Still, that explanation didn’t fly with Republican Congressman Randy Weber. On Wednesday, he took to [X formerly known as Twitter] to make it loud and clear that he wasn’t feeling it. “Words have meanings, and actions have consequences,” he posted. “I look forward to introducing my resolution to censure you for your words and actions.”
Randy Weber Doubles Down: “Crockett’s Words Were Unbecoming of Congress”
By Wednesday, Congressman Weber wasn’t just tweeting — he put pen to paper and filed an official resolution to censure Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
“I have officially FILED the censure resolution against Rep. Jasmine Crockett,” he wrote. “She must be censured and held accountable for the venomous rhetoric she spews as a representative of the Democratic Party.”
Weber, 71, represents Texas’ 14th District and has long been vocal about what he sees as rising incivility in Congress. In the resolution, he accused Crockett of behavior “unbecoming of a Member of Congress.” And that wasn’t all — he brought up a previous incident where Crockett clashed with Reps. Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene during a heated House hearing back in May 2024.
He painted her comments as part of a “pattern of discriminatory rhetoric,” making it clear he doesn’t believe this is a one-time situation.
Jasmine Crockett Holds Her Ground Despite Republican Pressure
Despite the noise, Jasmine Crockett’s not backing down. She continues to stand firm on her track record and advocacy, especially when it comes to marginalized communities. Her team released a brief statement defending her right to call out political policies she believes harm Texans.
