Congressman Keith Self Blasts Jasmine Crockett, Defends Governor Abbott
Texas Rep. Keith Self
Jasmine Crockett Shouldn’t Mock Gov. Abbott’s Disability
… But Dodges Question About Trump
Published

Congressman Keith Self is blasting Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett for cracking a joke about Texas Governor Greg Abbott‘s disability … though he refused to condemn President Donald Trump for doing something similar.
The Republican representative from Texas stopped by “TMZ Live” Wednesday to discuss Crockett’s recent comments … specifically one where she called Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” — and, Self calls Texas Representative Crockett a bully.

Self says he almost wants Congress to avoid censuring Crockett, ’cause he thinks she’s bad for the Democratic Party … and, he’d happily watch her take it down from within.
Self adds there is a big difference between self-deprecation and brutally taking down someone else … so, Abbott can make jokes about his own paralysis — but, Crockett can’t.
At this point, Self was shown a viral video from Trump back in 2015 — when he mocked New York Times reporter Serge Kovaleski, who suffers from a congenital joint condition, on the campaign trail.
Listen to Self’s reaction … he repeatedly says he won’t talk about the past clip — adding he was only prepared to discuss Crockett’s comments from last weekend, not Trump’s. A bit of a double standard, we gotta admit.
Worth noting … Crockett released a statement on social media to explain her nickname for Abbott — claiming, “I wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition—I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable.
“Literally, the next line I said was that he was a ‘Hot A** Mess,’ referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition.” She has repeatedly refused to apologize for the comment.
Our full interview with Congressman Self airs on “TMZ Live” today … check it out to get all his thoughts on Representative Crockett.

‘Power Rangers’ Audri DuBois Says Man Suffered Heatstroke During Pilot, Show Kept Filming
‘Power Rangers’ Star Audri DuBois
Guy Got Heatstroke During Pilot …
Stripped Him, Kept Filming

Investigative Discovery
“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” might be a cultural phenomenon now … but, while filming the pilot, the production had a shoestring budget — and made a coarse decision about a cast member’s health.
Audri DuBois — the original Yellow Power Ranger in the pilot episode — tells the story on the next episode of “Hollywood Demons” titled “Dark Side of the Power Rangers” … explaining the OG episode was shot in the desert in 110-degree heat.
DuBois says one of the actors — playing a villainous character — was decked out in a wetsuit and rubber mask … and, he suffered heatstroke mid-shoot, collapsing to the ground.
While Audri says she and the other actors didn’t want to film, people behind the scenes knew they needed to crank the pilot out … so, they offered $100 to anyone willing to strip the actor and put on his clothes so they could keep shooting.
Someone did, and filming resumed … while Audri says the actor who suffered heatstroke was “in the dirt, flopping around” while he waited for an ambulance.
DuBois says it didn’t feel right to go back to shooting … but, the cast didn’t have much of a choice.
“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” debuted in 1993 … and, it led to the rise of a massive global brand — complete with toys, multiple spin-offs and other merchandise.
In “Dark Side of the Power Rangers” former cast and crew members detail the seedy side behind the shows so many ’90s kids grew up on … telling stories of fraud, assault, murder and much more.
“Dark Side of the Power Rangers” airs Monday at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT only on ID and streaming on Max.
