U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) mocked Gov. Gregg Abbott for his disability, claiming a tree made the paraplegic Republican \u201cpart of the DEI class.\u201d<\/p>\n

The uncouth remark from the outgoing Democrat seems to prove that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has little to do with leveling the playing field and is, in reality, another plow to obtain power at any cost.<\/p>\n

Because Abbott is a Republican and Crockett is a black woman in post-Obama America, the lawmaker ridiculed Abbott for being disabled without so much as a stir from the media, as seen here:<\/p>\n

With Texas voters rejecting Crockett\u2019s Senate bid, she\u2019ll soon be looking for a new home and her ill-mannered jab at the wheel-chaired Republican may very well be an open audition for a gig on CNN or MSNOW.<\/p>\n

Social media users questioned the flip-side of Crockett\u2019s remarks, as seen in the X responses to the story below:<\/p>\n

At first I thought Rep. Jasmine Crockett was a DEI hire for being black, but after I heard her talk I realized it\u2019s because she\u2019s Special Needs.<\/p>\n

The Governor overcame his disability. This retard simply invented hers.<\/p>\n
