  • In a Wednesday "Black Lady Courtroom" broadcast and X video, the outgoing Texas Democrat called the governor "uniquely disabled" and "DEI" while discussing the accident that left him wheelchair-bound at 26.
  • Abbott's office pointed to his X response, where he wrote "Uniquely abled" alongside an AI superhero image, as critics on social media condemned Crockett's remarks.
  • The episode revives backlash over Crockett's 2025 "Governor Hot Wheels" comment, which she said targeted Abbott's policies, not his disability; she lost a Senate primary in March and is leaving Congress in 2027.
