Rightly part. This is just how politics works now.
I get it: Greg Abbott is not the victim (if he was, he'd deserve everything he got plus much more) -- rather, the disabled community would be discouraged to see disabilities made fun of. But the disabled community also doesn't benefit from the GOP winning elections.

She is now out of leadership in the House (though Trump claims she will return to leadership — will they just make up a new spot or demote someone else?) and lost a plum job because Trump has made electoral politics too risky for her red seat after a couple of months of crazy.
They may also be in fear of numbers they are seeing in one or both Florida special elections to replace Waltz and Gaetz (I can only hope)?
After what’s happened the last 2 months, anybody who would vote for a Trump sycophant is dumber than a box of rocks. The Democrats’ and Lincoln Project’s warnings are all proving to be true.

Elon Musk Has Brought 'The R-Word' Back — And It's Part Of A Disturbing New Trend
Elon Musk Has Brought 'The R-Word' Back — And It's Part Of A Disturbing New Trend
It fits in with a "politics of cruelty" that's been running rampant in the White House.
“… Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s buddy-in-chief and the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is among those who uses the slur regularly: In the past year, Musk, has used “retarded” as an insult at least a dozen times on X, the social media platform he owns and obsessively posts on.
Musk ― who’s always been something of a shit poster, even at 53 ― has directed the word at famed Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen, actor Ben Stiller, and most recently, Timothy Snyder, a Yale history professor and authoritarianism expert who got under Musk’s skin by criticizing the Trump administration. …”

As I noted earlier, I think she was totally out of line but hard to countenance focusing on a single far left member of Congress behaving in ways I completely reject in the wider spectrum of where we find ourselves thanks to MAGA/Musk.
