Greg Abbott Shrugs Off Crockett’s ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ Joke, Says Democrats Will Be Left ‘In The Dust’

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott appeared on “Hannity” Tuesday evening to shrug off Democrat Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett calling him “Governor Hot Wheels.”

Abbott said that, come election time, the Democratic Party will be left “in the dust.”

During a Human Rights Campaign speech Monday evening, Crockett took to the stage to criticize her state’s Republican leadership, calling Abbott, who is confined to a wheelchair, “Governor Hot Wheels” and also called him a “hot ass mess.” Fox host Sean Hannity asked the governor for his response, saying there was “no way in hell” Crockett wasn’t referring to Abbott’s paraplegic state after she denied the accusation on X.

“Well, Sean, this is another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy,” Abbott said. “They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it. It’s one reason why Texas is going to remain red and why Republicans are going to continue to win elections across the country.”

Shortly after graduating from Vanderbilt University in 1984 for his law degree, Abbott was paralyzed by a falling tree while jogging, according to the governor’s official website.

Abbott went on to tell Hannity about what he said were his state’s accomplishments.

“The fact, Sean, is that Texas is actually in direct contrast to what she was talking about,” Abbott said. “Texas has ranked number one for the most new jobs in America over the past month, number one for the most new jobs over the past year, and for several years. Texas ranks number one for the most new economic development projects for 13 years in a row.”
