"Don't question my faith!!!!"

-Dan Crenshaw to 12 year old girl.

Dan is a globalist shill, seemingly willing to lash out at children but won't hold left/progressives to task.

So brave, Dan, so brave.

Fyi that was an 18 year old campaign rep from the opposing campaign. He handled it badly but let's not pretend it was some innocent kid.

---

First it was "how dare you use and manipulate a kid for political purposes!?!"

Now its "a malevolent opposition plant had it coming to her!" (Not that the quoted poster was saying that).

The bottom line is, a humble politician would have used that (expected) question as an opportunity to improve his look, not berate a constituent. Quoting a candidate their own words and asking for clarification doesn't get any more softball in big boy politics, but Dan whiffed then threw his bat into the stands.

By the way, if that girl is from the opposition, kudos to her for participating. That's how you do it. I'm sure she got more bang for her buck with that simple q&a than she was expecting. I did the same thing as a sophomore at A&M when Lamar Alexander spoke at the Bush Library. I teed up a two-part question about the importance of merit in university admissions. After affirming that merit was the most important factor, I got him to slam A&M's new proposed admissions program that was being floated at the time (something like Top 20% Program only for "diverse" school districts…quietly went away). You should've seen all the blue/gray haired donors turn to stare at me when the second question dropped. To his credit, Alexander handled it graciously and came out to the crowd to shake my hand afterwards. That's how Dan should've handled it.

Maybe Congress people shouldn't be viewing their public service as a career. Lifelong politicians are a big part of the problem with our govt

Eye patch is for sale. We knew this. Scumbag like all the rest

I've seen that repeatedly alleged, and zero times proven. She sure looked 12, but if you have evidence of that claim, I'd love to see it.

Again, would love to see proof.

I don't care who or what she was. His own words were respectfully repeated to him, and the least he could do is act like a respectful adult in response to clarify his meaning

Mentioned about halfway down this article - https://amp.usatoday.com/amp/6566798001

And here

ETA: her goal was to get a reaction and she succeeded, he definitely handled it badly but again let's not pretend like she was some innocent kid.

Just a thought experiment.

Corruption is rampant, and not just through the trading. These politicians are bought by corporations (which are now communist hellholes).

We could pay these representatives millions a year and it would be a drop in the bucket for the budget. Could you set up a system where doing a good job, is financially rewarded and pays better than the taking the shady book deal or "speaking fees"?

Nancy Pelosi has made hundreds of millions in a few years. You think a few million would stop it?

Thanks, the second link is meaningless, since it's a flat statement with no backup.

The first link, as it's from his opponent, carries more weight. I would assume the opponent would not say she's 18, if she were younger

Thanks for the first link. I'd seen the second before, which is one of the ones I dismissed as an assertion, not proof

Michael Berry had her in his show. It's in his podcasts.

Doesn't matter if she was the actual opposing candidate it was his actual words and his reaction to them that were the problem.

This is coming from the congressman who preaches about other politicians needing to be civil.

...and whoever is Crenshaw's opponent in the primary better use this quote against him. Plaster radio and TV with it.

Dan McCainshaw defended stock trades by members of Congress, stating that they are not paid enough and how else do people expect legislators to "better themselves"?

---

I'd agree. Congress isn't paid well.

They are paid with a poor form of money that incentivizes them to burn through it and keep accumulating more. They should be paid in bitcoin and then be incentivized to increase the economic energy of our country.

For all of his faults, he's not the embarrassment that Kathaleen Wall would have been. That's a terribly low bar. I'd still vote for his arrogant globalist hypocrisy before I'd vote for her. Let's find somebody better.

Coach Jimbo it the highest paid state employee.
Public service?

Football coach is not a public servant role.

Not all state employees are public servants... not sure if you're being willfully ignorant or just a troll.

He does troll, but Jimbo is the highest paid state employee in Texas.

Though I think that is not a fair comparison, as I assume his salary comes mostly from donations, not state funds

Crenshaw, is a "turncoat".

Nobody forced him to take the job for the apparent pittance he's being paid, plus all the apparently worthless benefits that come with it.

They're called ETFs Dan.

not that he is in my district, but I would vote for a Dem over this clown.

I will vote for an opponent in the primary. But if Swamp-creature Dan wins the primary I would vote for him over any corrupt Harris County Democrat. (Redundant, I know).

I was trying to withhold judgment about Crenshaw but that takes the cake. I'm done with him now.

---

Yep. I'm out.

Hey, tbird, how y'all doing?

---

Busy! Sorry for the late response. Doing my thing over on Twitter more these days lol. Wife and kids are great! Hope you are too, ma'am!

The more I have mulled this over the more I have come to realize all Dan is doing is letting us know he's keeping an eye out for investment opportunities.

Crenshaw does George Michael

I actually believe that politicians should be paying the Federal Government to hold office.


They obviously profit from being on The Hill. Put it up for auction and see how much these moochers are willing to pay. My assumption is a few would be willing to pay millions for that type of influence!


Free market corruption

Having a pissing war with Michael Berry shows more poor judgement from Crenshaw.

Dan Crenshaw is an all about himself politician.
Don't be fooled into thinking anything else.
