Crockett explained that her comment was intended to criticize Abbott&#8217;s policy of busing migrants rather than to belittle his condition; however, evidence surfaced showing that she had previously liked <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">social media posts referring<\/a> to Abbott as &#8220;Hot Wheels&#8221; before the busing began. An investigation revealed she interacted wiht comments derogatory towards Abbott in June 2021,well before he initiated the migrant busing policy in summer 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Following her remarks, Crockett attempted to clarify her intent by stating she was focused on Abbott&#8217;s transportation of migrants into predominantly Black communities, which she described as a deliberate act of provoking fear. In response,Abbott downplayed the insult,labeling it as part of a broader trend of Democratic negativity. Amid the controversy, Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a censure resolution against Crockett, condemning her comments as discriminatory.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Crockett liked posts calling Abbott &lsquo;Hot Wheels&rsquo; before he started busing migrants, despite her explanation<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1992263\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3358417\/jasmine-crockett-slammed-greg-abbott-governor-hot-wheels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Jasmine Crockett\">Jasmine Crockett<\/a> (D-TX) said she was referring to Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/greg-abbott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Greg Abbott\">Greg Abbott<\/a> (R-TX) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-gov-abbott-faces-off-in-debate-vs-challenger-beto-orourke\/\" title=\"Texas .... ...
