“Y’all just pray for me,” Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett told supporters of the Human Rights Campaign as she took the stage at their fundraising dinner. “Who knows what I’m gonna end up saying?”

Four minutes later, she called her state’s Republican governor, who has used a wheelchair since 1984, “Hot Wheels.” That remark, which Crockett claimed did not refer to Gov. Greg Abbott’s disability, quickly became the latest viral exhibit in the GOP’s bid to cast the 43-year-old Democrat as a one-woman left-leaning gaffe machine.

Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, has already launched a push to censure Crockett for her quip. And Republican lawmakers and conservative commentators were ready to amplify her Abbott remark, after condemning her embrace of protests against Tesla as a means of venting public ire toward Elon Musk.
