Crockett's weekend remarks are just the latest in a line of other questionable comments and controversies that have resulted in her facing possible censure in the House of Representatives.
One of those controversies occurred after she referred to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is paralyzed and has been confined to a wheelchair for decades, as "Governor Hot Wheels."
While Crockett attempted to walk back her comments after they drew nationwide backlash, she has exhibited a pattern of promoting remarks about Abbott "rolling places."
JASMINE CROCKETT CONCEALS THE MEANING OF ‘HOT WHEELS’: GUTFELD
"Rolling up to the White House to cheer on the president destroying the agency that makes sure kids in wheelchairs have equal access to education is wild," read a social media post Crockett shared days before her "hot wheels comment." Prior to that, during Abbott's re-election campaign against former Democratic Rep. Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke, Crockett once again blasted the Texas governor, saying, "The new nickname I have for Beto O’Rourke is the king of the clap backs! Beto is rolling around the state… Where is Abbott rolling to?"
Other questionable remarks leading up to the censure resolution included suggesting Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz should be "knocked over the head." Meanwhile, amid a spate of violent attacks targeting Elon Musk and Tesla, Crockett mused that "all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down," while she was speaking at a rally pushing Tesla owners to sell their cars and get rid of any stock in the company.

The censure resolution against Crockett, introduced March 26 by Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, remains under consideration by the House Committee on Ethics. In comments to Fox News' Sean Hannity last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi added that Crockett needs "to tread very carefully," noting that "words have consequences."

"She needs to immediately apologize and denounce [her rhetoric] because, even in her home state, violence is happening after she made these statements," Bondi said, referring specifically to Crockett's comments about wanting to see Musk "taken down" for her birthday amid a spate of violent attacks targeting Tesla.
"It’s dangerous," Bondi continued. "She has to know it’s dangerous, and she’s calling for further insurrection on her birthday this weekend."
Fox News Digital reached out to Crockett's office for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.
