Holy shit between this and the Governor hot wheels comment recently she's just showing that she might be just as much a liability as she will be a newfound asset lately. The passion is great, but it feels like there's not as much of a filter on what she's putting out there in some heated moments. Not like I'm perfect, I'd probably pull some similar petty shit after enough speeches but that's why I'm not in government.

Hot Wheels was cool insult, yeah

Governor hot wheels was kind of funny because the resulting bitching and moaning from “the party that wants to say retard again” made for great optics. This is just a tasteless punch-down.

Rep. Crockett last month also faced backlash for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

Not gonna lie I snorted loudly when I read that.

Backlash for what though? Do they not realize how awesome Hot Wheels are? You think if I had a prosthetic limb and someone called me "Robocop" or "Inspector Gadget" I'm going to get upset?
