TCBD Calls out the hypocrisy of the in the GOP's attempt to censure Rep. Crockett
The GOP's move to censure Rep. Jasmine Crockett for her "Governor Hot Wheels" remark underscores a glaring double standard.
While Rep. Crockett clarified that her comment targeted Governor Abbott's policies, not his disability, Republicans have often overlooked or even endorsed offensive rhetoric within their own ranks. For instance, former President Trump's derogatory nicknames and mockery of disabilities have been met with no backlash from GOP leaders. Additionally, incidents like Rep. Nancy Mace's aggressive challenge to "take it outside" during a committee debate with Crockett have not led to similar censure efforts.
This selective outrage suggests a troubling pattern of racial hostility toward Black representatives, and shows the party's inconsistent standards when addressing offensive behavior.
TCBD Stands with Rep. Al Green in Defending Medicare and Protecting Democracy
The Texas Coalition of Black Democrats (TCBD) stands firmly with Rep. Al Green as he courageously pushes back against President Trump’s attempt to cut Medicare—an essential program that millions of Americans rely on for healthcare and dignity.
We respect the checks and balances of our government and expect Democrats at the Capitol to stand united in defending the rights and well-being of the people. Now, more than ever, we must work together to protect our democracy and ensure that critical programs like Medicare are preserved for future generations.
TCBD remains committed to fighting for justice, equity, and the preservation of the values that make our democracy strong. We urge all elected officials to hold the line and reject any efforts that threaten the well-being of our communities.
