Just curious — when Donald Trump PHYSICALLY mocked a disabled reporter, physically mocked a POW with limited arm movement and verbally mocked those who stutter, where were all you “HOW DARE SHE MOCK SOMEONE WITH DISABILITIES” Republicans then?

Given that Abbott is one of the governors trying to weaken the Americans with Disabilities Act, he clearly has a mental handicap as well as a physical one.
Also, how dare any Democrat give Scump and company a taste of their own medicine?!? <>
It really is the hypocrisy. It’s dumbfounding. We all see them say horrible shit about other people via social media. They want us to look at that instead of the large mess they made with our national security.
The new American rules: democrats have to continue to follow all rules and social norms or they will be threatened by trumps AG.
Republicans can just say and do anything they want without questions.
A bit off topic JoJo maybe you could help me say this louder
I embrace drinking Canadian rye, and leaving the Kentucky bourbon on the shelves. Stand with your neighbors, sorry Mitch.
Probably practicing by taking pot shots at disabled people like me: a former math teacher who became disabled from a hemorrhagic stroke that left me partially paralyzed on my left side. Bastards!!!!!!
The problem with Dems is we even acknowledge the maga whiny bs. Why even respond to them whining about a brilliant joke from Congresswoman Crockett? Fuck em. Keep slinging mud. Only thing they understand. No apologies. Full stop
Or all the dementia Joe bullshit. I don't believe he had dementia but if they really thoughts it, shame on them for the cruelty they expressed constantly. They are ignorant as well as hypocritical.
As much as Orange Julius mocks disabled people, I’m mad I didn’t come up with “Governor Hot Wheels” for Abbott, play the tape of how fast his azz was moving when he was border touring with the OJ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he was rolling over rough unpaved ground too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

FUCK that Puto! All bets were off when the GOP normalized Trump's evil. Then have no idea! They taught us how to use their EVIL against them. FUCK Hot wheels! He can take a long stroll on a short pier!
He walked past me once, a long time ago, and I'm assuming it's because I'm a lot taller/bigger than him, looked up at me and made the most disgusting face. Haha. True story. :)
"Hot Wheels" refers to Abbott busing migrants to blue cities using taxpayer dollars. Also, Abbott sued & won $9M after the accident (fallen tree), resulting in his paralysis. Then, he helped establish laws that keep others in similar situations from seeking compensation for life-altering injuries.
Listen, everyone. The time for being correct is over. We have filthy rich fascists running our government. They get to say anything and everything all the time. If you don't fight fire with fire, you look weak, oh, like Chucky Schumer.
I agree! I have been advocating for dirty pool, since the beginning of this mess. I just don't think kids out there w/ a disability need that as examples of how to insult.
As my friend always used to say, "why be prejudiced when there are so many other legit reasons to hate people?"
Trouble is it won't matter now. The insinuation is out there. We all just have to tread lightly around that kind of thing.
As a former teacher, I'm telling you, every kid in a wheelchair at schools in red counties across this country are now going to be called "Hot Wheels".
Or not jump to conclusions. We don't need to play nice, they aren't. She doesn't need to apologize, etc. What kid is watching what jasmine crockett said ?
Trump literally mocked a disabled person...we ALL watched it. And people still voted for him. This shouldn't matter either.
“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,”
Did you get that Laura Loomer says she's going to sue her for assault over an incident with one of her reporter and that apam Bondi intends to prosecute her for inviting violence against Musk? They are going to go after her so we have to protect her.
Exactly! I'm tired of dems having to be perfect or take the high road because Maga NEVER does.
I don't know Crockett or anything, but she doesn't seem like the type to mock others because of a disability.
Ah - I’m still a huge fan. Her error was more like putting the accent in the wrong syllable. 99.9% of what she says is dead on, vs the reverse for most Republicans.
Plus, it just gives them un-needed ammunition. Keep the heat on THEM. Don't give them excuses to point fingers anywhere but at their own damned behavior.
I agree with you on one hand, but yeah, the hypocrisy bugs the everlovin' shit outta me. You would THINK that someone with a disability would have more empathy for the struggles of others, but that asshole seems to delight in being vindictive and cruel. His disability is no excuse for that. /1
Oh! 100% on the hypocrisy!!! Anyone, including former friends, who voted for him, that is one of the first things I come back on--How on God's green earth can you vote for someone who mocks people with disabilities? It is despicable and OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Not disabled but think "Hot Wheels" *could* be construed a compliment, referencing acceptance, determination, and the overcoming of adversity. Maybe only if one applies it *themselves*, though. It's kinda obvious she meant his pride in his cruelty over others, and that was spot on.
No, she shouldn't have said it. But I will have to admit I can't help but wonder if one who seems to get such pleasure out of being cruel would also have no problem leveraging it to his advantage in justifying his actions, and that's horrifying. His disability should not excuse his cruelty. /2
I guess I'm saying that while I don't think it's right to mock ANYONE'S disability, it's also fairly obvious that disabled people can be rotten too. However. I agree it's generally best to criticize ONLY actions, NOT bring disability, race, sexual orientation, religion, gender, etc. into it.
But it's almost like he is taking out his bitterness about it on other helpless people. No. She should not have said anything which might have been construed to reference his disability, on the other hand... she had and still has every right, IMHO, to disparage his attitude and treatment of OTHERS.
As a former teacher, I'm just worried about kids thinking this is a solid method for insulting people with disabilities, those in wheel chairs. And truth to tell, if this hadn't come out, I wouldn't have known Abbott was using a wheelchair and there are LOTS of other legit ways to insult the man.
I get it. Her message was on point, unfortunate she let that word slip out. What about Boebert and her dig at Al Green's disability, the "pimp cane" comment? That wasn't right either, and SHE doubled down on it. Have a feeling outrage over Crockett will go on far longer than outrage over Boebert.
OMG. Boebert is a racist POS Christian Nationalist. She is a horrible human being. I'm sure like Karoline Leavitt the cross she wears is burning a scar into her neck.
Don't feel bad. I think most of America was wrong about Trump. I thought his running was a joke. NY hated him and made fun of him. Who would have thought he had the power to convince people of the stupidest lies.
You're right. It's almost as though he has a magic hold over some people. His lies are so blatant. They believe what he says over what they can see with their own eyes.
While I dont disagree republicans are hypocrites, I would point out that disabled people have seen the least advancement in implicit bias people have towards them compared to group like those around sexual orientation and race.We have seen a rise in people feeling like they can remove disability too
In Canada, a respectful country, a person mocking a disabled person would have seen their political ambition halted right there! Even at the municipal level! Good job USA!🤦🏻
Exactly. When we hold ourselves to higher standards, they jeer. When we lower ourselves to theirs, they're outraged. As usual, the hypocrisy is off the charts.
@repjasmine.bsky.social has nothing to apologize for and her only response to these pussy right-wing-projectionists is, to blast off the list of every ugly thing the reptile and his fascist *friends have ever said! And there’s a LONG LIST! Rep Crocket could pull that off like a poet!!👏👌💙

I completely agree with you regarding Republican hypocrisy, but I need to make it clear that what Crockett said was also wrong.
It is important to hold that standard.
Also, how dare any Democrat give Scump and company a taste of their own medicine?!? <
Go, Jasmine!!!
???
GOO IS President.
EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES IS
ALL A MIRAGE !
HIS WHOLE LIFE IS ONE FUCKING BIG LIE.
HYPOCRISY
For all the R's who never called out Trump for degrading the disabled, veterans, immigrants, etc - A MIDDLE FINGER to them all
They all do
Nyuking in the back
Republicans can just say and do anything they want without questions.
No witness to that tree branch falling on him has ever been found ...
And he has never released the medical records that could prove this once and for all.
What is he hiding?
I embrace drinking Canadian rye, and leaving the Kentucky bourbon on the shelves. Stand with your neighbors, sorry Mitch.
But she did something dumb.
That's a statement based on trust in character, which I don't think others can honestly say about Trump or many other Republicans.
They traded that in "to own the libs"
Selective outrage
On-demand pearl clutching

SHOW UP FIGHT BACK
It made him angry. It pissed him off.
All these years later he demonstrates a great deal of restraint when asked about it
It’s quite impressive
but, it’s easy to see he doesn’t think much of The President
Very easy
Every one of them
No morals at all
But, I say, if she said that, she shouldn't have. I'm all about going low right now b/c of this regime but go low about behavior and policies, not physical stuff. Then we're no better than Trump--that's his MO.

She didn't mock his disability, though.

Maga are the most vile human beings. Their performative outrage is laughable.
I don't know Crockett or anything, but she doesn't seem like the type to mock others because of a disability.
*Other than Ken Paxton admitting to rigging elections of course*
Cruel, dumb rednecks would never vote for a disabled person no matter how evil and appealing that person was to them.
Man, was I wrong!
And I don’t blame the people who initially thought they needed a businessman at the help and wanted to try something else.
But to see him re-elected. Man, that stings.
He knows personal branding, I’ll give him that.
Two wrongs doesn't make it right. No wonder why America is getting messed up. 🤷🏽♂️
Hotwheels is a compliment for that asshole.
We call him “rollerdick” in our house and discuss things like hills and bad brakes.
Basically.
