Crockett Won’t Apologize for Calling Abbott ‘Governor Hot Wheels’
Oh, look. Embattled Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has extra security around her since she’s been under fire for comments she made about Elon Musk, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX).
The Abbott comments have received the most attention. She mocked the governor, who has been in a wheelchair since he was 26, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn confronted Crockett, asking if she would ever apologize.
Crockett pointed Vaughn to her weak excuse for calling Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels.”
From Fox News:
“I do have a statement. Why would I apologize when I put out a statement? My statement was clear,” Crockett said when confronted on the matter.”But you didn’t apologize for calling him ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ when he gets around in a wheelchair, you don’t understand how that’s offensive to people?” FOX Business reporter Hillary Vaughn pressed.”I don’t understand how many times you need me to repeat this to you,” Crockett responded.”Right. But why won’t you apologize?” Vaughn said.”I put out a statement,” Crockett repeated.”That didn’t have an apology in it,” Vaughn countered. “You don’t feel bad about making fun of someone who is in a wheelchair?””Okay, well. I’m done here,” Crockett said as she began to walk away. “I’m done. I’m done with this.”
