Texas Representative Randy Weber Introduced Resolution to Censure Jasmine Crockett

In the last few weeks, Rep Jasmine Crockett has drawn significant backlash over provocative remarks, prompting calls for congressional action. Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) is spearheading this push, planning a censure resolution due to Crockett’s jab at Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s disability—dubbing him "Governor Hot Wheels" at a Human Rights Campaign dinner. Weber slammed the comment as "discriminatory" and indicative of a trend of reckless rhetoric, insisting the House should officially condemn her.

Crockett’s also catching heat for separate statements targeting Elon Musk and Senator Ted Cruz, which Attorney General Pam Bondi has flagged as potentially inciting violence. Bondi’s cautioned Crockett to watch her step, hinting at censure and linking her words to incidents like Tesla site attacks. Adding fuel to the fire, there’s a claim Crockett assaulted a journalist probing her Tesla comments, intensifying demands for repercussions.

So far, no censure’s been locked in—Weber’s resolution is still pending, and it’d need House approval to pass. Crockett’s standing by her "Hot Wheels" line, saying it’s self-explanatory, while rejecting claims her other remarks promote violence. Whether this gains traction hinges on House dynamics; censures are mostly symbolic but pack a punch as a formal slap on the wrist.
