It turns out that may not have been their nadir, however, because as we’ve been reporting, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been on a tear lately with unhinged threats, crass NSFW rhetoric, and general awful behavior seemingly designed to launch herself to the top of the pantheon of the most toxic members of Congress.

Over the weekend, she cruelly mocked Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels” in reference to the partial paralysis that confines him to a wheelchair, a result of a tragic accident that occurred in his 20s when he was hit by a falling tree. He has overcome so much adversity since then, but this woman had the indecency to make fun of him for it? Unbelievable. (Mild profanity):

I don’t use this word often, but Jasmine Crockett truly is wicked.

To call Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” is cruel, contemptible & speaks to your lack of character.

A tree fell on Abbott when he was 26 years old — paralyzing him from the waist down.

His loving wife stayed by his side & they have a lovely adopted daughter.  

If Jasmine Crockett represents the democrat party, I want nothing to do with democrats.  

Despicable.

Abbott struck back with class on Tuesday night in an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity”:

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hit back at a Democratic lawmaker Tuesday who appeared to mock him for being in a wheelchair, saying such remarks will only leave the party “in the dust” come future elections.

“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,” Abbott said in an interview on “Hannity.”

That bears repeating: “They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it.” Brutal, effective—and 100 percent on target.

Watch:

He’s right.

“Democrats have no vision, no policy, nothing to sell but hate,” says @GregAbbott_TX, reacting on @seanhannity to vile comments by private school graduate and role model @JasmineForUS. pic.twitter.com/0EzGsjgL71
