    its still not an excuse. i have plenty of friends who think this whole thing is funny, and im just a little disappointed. like just because he’s a piece of shit doesn’t make it cool to make fun of a disability. she didn’t call him “hot wheels” because of like a car collection or whatever, its obviously a reference to his disability.

    while its obviously not a slur in and of itself, if abbott called crockett something adjacent to a slur, im sure we would be up in arms.

    look, i think the dems should do more and fight dirty, but this isn’t the way.

      What does fighting dirty look like to you? Calling a douche who deserves to have a tree fall on him Governor Hot Wheel is pretty mild on the scale imo so what ISN’T too far?
