Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a vocal advocate for the radical “Defund the Police” movement, was caught on camera hiding behind a Capitol Police officer when confronted by a Daily Caller News Foundation reporter about her derogatory comments toward Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The footage shows Crockett refusing to answer whether she regrets calling Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” during a speech to an LGBTQ+ advocacy group, a cruel jab at the governor’s paralysis—a disability he has lived with since a tragic accident in 1984.
Hypocrisy on Full Display
Crockett’s behavior epitomizes the left’s hypocrisy. Despite her past demands to slash police budgets, she had no qualms about using law enforcement as a human shield to avoid accountability. In a 2021 Facebook speech, she defended the “Defund the Police” movement, claiming it was about “healing” and “investing in our communities.” Yet, when pressed by a journalist, she relied on the very officers she once sought to undermine.
Her remarks about Abbott were not just tasteless but revealed the left’s disdain for those who don’t conform to their woke ideology. Abbott, a resilient conservative leader, has overcome immense personal adversity—something Crockett and her allies seem incapable of respecting. Republican Rep. Randy Weber rightly announced a resolution to censure her for the offensive comment, but don’t expect the liberal media to hold her accountable.

Liberal Media’s Double Standard
If a conservative had made such a remark about a disabled Democrat, the outrage would be deafening. But since Crockett is a progressive favorite, the mainstream media will likely downplay or ignore her cruelty. Remember, this is the same media that spent years lecturing Americans about “decency” and “compassion” while turning a blind eye to left-wing vitriol.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump continues to champion law and order, standing firmly with police officers who risk their lives daily. Unlike Crockett and her defund-the-police allies, Trump understands that supporting law enforcement is essential to keeping communities safe. His policies prioritize public safety, border security, and economic prosperity—issues Crockett and the radical left consistently undermine.
Defunding Police: A Failed, Unpopular Agenda
Crockett’s 2021 rant about defunding the police was tone-deaf then and remains so now. She claimed the movement was about “lightening the load for our officers,” but in reality, it led to skyrocketing crime in Democrat-run cities. A May 2020 YouGov poll showed just 16% of Americans supported defunding the police, while 65% opposed it—proof that most Americans reject this dangerous ideology.

Yet, Crockett and her allies continue pushing radical policies that put lives at risk. While Trump and conservatives fight to restore law and order, Democrats like Crockett prioritize divisive rhetoric over real solutions.
