OP
Her comment was taken out of context, and was not referring to Abbott's wheelchair use.

(469 posts)7. I dont care
I am proud of Crockett. We need to stand by her. The other side would and they would be rewarded for it. Thus incessant need to flaunt "moral superiority" is one reason why we lose.

And called him hot wheels.
Think. Again.

(2,835 posts)16. A lot of people in
Texas "on both sides" call him that. I've never heard anyone in Texas object.
And it's even better with context
Think. Again.
(22,330 posts)11. If you're referring to her "hot wheels" remark....
...I'd say that's pretty minor compared to ending Democracy in the U.S.

In a statement on X, Crockett said her remarks werent in reference to Abbotts use of a wheelchair
I wasnt thinking about the governors conditionI 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, Crockett posted.
Literally, the next line I said was that he was a Hot A** Mess, referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition, she added.
