Another day, another disaster.

That’s how Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott described the Democratic Party — specifically referring to recent taunts aimed at him by a member of Congress representing his own state.

Controversial Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) appeared to mock Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, by referring to him as “Governor Hot Wheels” during an event over the weekend.

During a Fox News Channel appearance on Tuesday, the governor responded:

“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,” Abbott said in an interview on “Hannity.”

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, spoke at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, where she referred to the former state attorney general as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

Crockett clarified her comments in a post on X, claiming 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. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition,” she wrote in part.

It’s safe to say that many social media users weren’t convinced by her claims of innocence:

While Abbott can clearly withstand the grade-school name-calling, Crockett’s remarks about Elon Musk are attracting much more serious attention.

According to The Hill:

Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday that Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) should apologize to Tesla shareholders over comments she made calling “for Elon [Musk] to be taken down.”

“On March 29 it’s my birthday, and all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down,” Crockett said in an event livestreamed last Thursday by a protest group pushing for Tesla owners to sell their cars and people who own Tesla stock to get rid of it.

Bondi shot back at Crockett’s comments Monday on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

“After she said that about Elon, she said, ‘Well, I didn’t mean violence,’ but, however, your words have consequences,” Bondi told Sean Hannity.

“And what happened after she said that about Elon Musk, she’s a Texan, in her — in her own home state, after she said that, this morning, three explosive devices were found in Austin, Texas,” the attorney general added. “So, she needs to unequivocally denounce the violence, she must apologize immediately, not only to all Texans, but to our country, to the American shareholders of Tesla, because she is promoting violence.”
