Rep. Crockett last month also faced backlash for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

Not gonna lie I snorted loudly when I read that.

Backlash for what though? Do they not realize how awesome Hot Wheels are? You think if I had a prosthetic limb and someone called me "Robocop" or "Inspector Gadget" I'm going to get upset?
