Trump shreds 'lowlife' Jasmine Crockett after congresswoman mocked Greg Abbott as ‘Governor Hot Wheels’
President Donald Trump unloaded on Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett Wednesday over her recent slam of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for using a wheelchair, calling her a “lowlife.”
During an interview with conservative radio host Vince Coglianese on Wednesday, Trump reacted to Crockett’s insult of the wheelchair-bound governor as “Governor Hot Wheels” this week, which led to sharp bipartisan criticism of the far-left congresswoman.
“But she’s a lowlife, and she’s a very low-IQ person,” the president told the host, adding, “I don’t imagine the Democrats are going to have a person like that running their party.”

Crockett coined the insult for Abbott during a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday. While speaking at the event, she stated, “We in these hot a– Texas streets, honey. Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a– mess, honey!”
The comments generated outrage among conservatives on social media, which Crockett responded to on Tuesday afternoon, denying she was mocking the governor for being in a wheelchair. Abbott was left paralyzed at 26 when he was hit by a falling tree while jogging.
She posted on X, “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.”
Abbott responded during an episode of Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” telling host Sean Hannity, “It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it.”

Coglianese told Trump he believed she was lying in her X post. “She’s been called out for that. She later came out on X and she claimed that she was just actually talking about when he was bussing illegals around the country, which seems to me like a pretty brazen lie on the lawmaker’s part.”
“Well, it’s a lie,” Trump said. “And she lies.” He added that if the Democratic Party ever puts someone like Crockett in a leadership role, “They’ll never win an election again. It would be very hard.”
Elsewhere, Trump mentioned that when he first saw viral videos of the congresswoman, he assumed she had a different profession.
“At first, I thought she was a comedian. I couldn’t believe she was a congressman or whatever she is,” he said, getting a laugh out of the host. He admitted he thought she “was a little bit funny, but crude, and now I found out she’s actually a politician.”
“The Democrats are going to suffer with this one,” he added.

Crockett’s office did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Crockett has made disparaging references to Abbott’s wheelchair in the past, belying her claim that she wasn’t referencing that with her latest statements.

Jury says it is deadlocked in trial of man accused in Palisades Fire
Jurors deliberating the fate of the man accused of starting the Palisades Fire, one of the most destructive wildfires in California’s history, failed to reach a verdict Thursday afternoon, telling the judge they were deadlocked.
A spokesperson from the United States Attorney’s Office told KTLA that jurors will continue to deliberate until they reach a verdict or give up.
Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, a former Uber driver and one-time Pacific Palisades resident, is accused of starting the Lachman Fire on New Year’s Eve. The fire continued to smolder underground for about a week, even after Los Angeles firefighters believed it had been extinguished.
Flames reignited on Jan. 7, erupting into the deadly Palisades Fire that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in the upscale community, authorities said.
Prosecutors argued that Rinderknecht deliberately set the fire, claiming he had grown increasingly resentful of wealthy residents and viewed Pacific Palisades as a symbol of that frustration.
“Their case, though circumstantial, is strong,” KTLA legal analyst Alison Triessl said. “The defense is relying on, can they (prosecutors) show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Rinderknecht actually started this fire and it wasn’t the result of fireworks or some intervening cause.”
The defense argued there is no direct physical evidence tying Rinderknecht to the fire and said the prosecution’s case relies entirely on circumstantial evidence. Rinderknecht did not testify during the trial.
Defense attorney Steve Haney spoke outside the courthouse Wednesday about why he believes it will be difficult for prosecutors to prove how the fire started.
“The lack of scene preservation. The fact that they got there after a lot of the evidence was missing. Not a lot of direct evidence. This is a circumstantial case, which is always difficult as a prosecutor to prove,” Haney said.
Rinderknecht, who was arrested and indicted last October, faces up to 45 years in prison if found guilty of three arson counts, including destruction of property by means of fire, arson affecting property used in interstate commerce and timber set afire.
