Though woke Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is, incredibly, doubling down on her despicable disability-based swipe at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), the governor himself seems to be taking it all in stride, even injecting some much-needed humor into the situation and reaffirming in the process that he is indeed the much better person in this situation (and any other involving Crockett) for rising above it all.

As we previously reported, Crockett outraged Republicans on up to President Donald Trump and even some on the left Tuesday after it was revealed that she referred to Abbott as "Gov. Hot Wheels" during a speech she gave at a swanky Los Angeles fundraiser for the far-left Human Rights Campaign this past Saturday.

"Y'all know we got Gov. Hot Wheels down there. Come on now," she proclaimed before the leftist crowd, many of whom cheered and applauded in a clear endorsement of Crockett's statement. "And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot *** mess, honey."

Gov. Abbott has been paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair since 1984 after being hit by a falling oak tree at the age of 26 while out jogging. Abbott is in his third term, having first been elected Texas's governor in 2014 after being the Lone Star State's attorney general for 12 years before that. Prior to that, he served on the state's Supreme Court for five years.

Crockett has insisted she was referring to Abbott's 2022 illegal immigrant bussing program and not his disability, but social media receipts from her dating back to 2021 - well before the program was put in place - say otherwise.

Abbott's initial response to the Crockett craziness was to correctly point out in a Fox News interview that "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."

Truer words, and all that.

Later, though, Abbott had some fun with it by embracing the image of himself as a superhero on wheels, digging a rendering of himself in an X-Men character throwback costume and saying he needed the outfit so people could "see me rollin'":

There were these as well, which were also cute:

"This is the perfect way for Abbott to brush off Crockett’s nonsense and flip the narrative. A power move, a feel-good flex, and a reminder that resilience wins every time," one Twitter/X user wrote back to Abbott.

I could not agree more. Nice work, Gov. Abbott. God bless ya (and the great state of Texas, too).
