(CNN) — Republican Rep. Randy Weber is planning to introduce a resolution to censure Rep. Jasmine Crockett over recent comments the Democratic congresswoman made about Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, according to a draft of the resolution shared with CNN.
Weber is seeking the punishment in response to Crockett referring to Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels” and a “hot a** mess” at a Human Rights Campaign event in Los Angeles over the weekend.
In a statement on X, Crockett said her remarks weren’t in reference to Abbott’s use of a wheelchair
“I 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,” Crockett posted.
“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 added.
