    Bad=Republican, Good=Democrat - Writing headlines for Stuff is easy!

    She's black too so anyone is fair game.

    Love how they changed the framing too. When they thought it was a Republican at fault it was 'mocking wheelchair user' now that its a Democrat she's just calling him 'hot wheels'..kinda sounds like a compliment.

    Stuff will always be complete dogshit for news

    umm

    "Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett mocked her state’s governor during a weekend appearance, referring to Greg Abbott — who uses a wheelchair — as “governor Hot Wheels”

    It's literally the fifth word in the article.

    Classic Stuff, and appropriate for the thread title. Behind a paywall (or at least a 'register' wall).

    Also, they strongly argued this was an 'advertisement' not an article, so the BSA shouldn't have jurisdiction.
