Crenshaw unloads on ‘angry little boys’ who harass him at TX GOP meeting, call him ‘eyepatch McCain’

June 19, 2022 | | Print Article

Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, who’s faced recent criticism over his enthusiastic support for red flag laws and calls for more money to be funneled to Ukraine, was harassed while at the Republican Party of Texas’ annual state convention Saturday.

Not that he’s sweating it. More on his response later.

Video footage from the convention showed several reportedly “far-right” instigators yelling insults and slurs at Crenshaw as he walked through the convention, including “eyepatch McCain,” “globalist RINO,” and “World Economic Forum sellout.”

The instigators also said the following:

  • “Dan Crenshaw loves Ukraine!”
  • “Dan Crenshaw supports red flag laws!”
  • “Dan Crenshaw is a traitor; he needs to be hung for treason!”
  • “Dan Crenshaw sold all of you out, and you’re still voting for him!”
  • “Dan Crenshaw is a fraud!”
  • Etc.

Here’s one piece of footage shared by lead instigator Alex Stein, who rose to fame last winter for singing a satirical pro-vaccine song.

Here’s another piece of footage shared by another instigator:

The other men with Stein were reportedly seen wearing Proud Boys gear.

According to a witness who spoke with Mediaite, the men “got physical with multiple people,” including Crenshaw’s campaign manager.

“They got physical with multiple people, including hitting them with cameras. His campaign manager was assaulted by being pushed aggressively into a pillar,” the witness said.

Stein and his allies have claimed the opposite. To hear them tell it, Crenshaw’s “private police force” assaulted them, not the other way around.

They’ve also disputed the claim by Mediaite that multiple members of their crew were arrested.

In an interview with The Post Millennial, Stein “said he was the one who was assaulted.”

“He [said] his only intention had been to ask the congressman about what he perceives as ‘globalist’ leanings. Crenshaw’s security reportedly knew who Stein was and told him that he would be removed if he attempted to speak to Crenshaw, but the consequence of removal was one Stein was willing to accept for his confrontation,” The Post Millennial has learned.

“Stein claims as soon as he went to speak to Crenshaw, Crenshaw’s ‘whole team swarmed on me, they’re grabbing me, pushing me.’ Stein confirmed that one man pushed him against a wall.”

Crenshaw for his part simply ignored the instigators. However, he later fired back on Twitter with a burn directed at Stein.

“This is what happens when angry little boys like @alexstein99 don’t grow up and can’t get girlfriends…,” he tweeted.

Ouch.

Look:

Others were not as blasé about the whole affair.

CNN’s Jake Tapper was particularly annoyed over the “eyepatch McCain” nickname that originated with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

In a Twitter thread, he detailed the way in which Crenshaw lost his eye while fighting in Afghanistan.

Look:

One of former Vice President Mike Pence’s White House staffers responded meanwhile with utter disgust and repulsion.

But instead of just directing her ire at the perpetrators, she sought to blame their actions on Carlson.

Look:

Saturday marked the second time in a week that Stein had harassed a prominent conservative. A day earlier, he harassed Sen. Ted Cruz “for being a globalist and selling out America.”

  1. Well much like McCain, Crenshaw obviously doesn’t like the truth being thrown in his face, so.

  2. Dan Crenshaw served this country honorably and lost an eye doing so, that should not be forgotten. That said he has definitely positioned himself as a RINO. I am not going to call him names, other than the RINO title which I think is accurate, but I would say that if I were a Texas resident I would only vote for him if I had no conservative Republican candidate to vote for.

  3. As has been proved in the past, how much did these individuals get paid by Soros clones? LET’S GO BRANDON! WeLoveTrump.com

  4. When Tapper defends them, you know they’re RINOs. I normally cringe when war injuries are mocked, but Eyepatch McCain definitely fits.

  5. Crenshaw turned Liberterian before his first term was over. Someone like that cannot be trusted.

  6. Crenshaw has disappointed middle of the road Republicans. No need to whip up all this agitation to trash ALL Republicans. Most will let Crenshaw know at his next election. The rest are just useful tools of the “destroy conservative media” crowd, who think if they get Tucker banned, he’ll disappear. Couldn’t be more wrong, but that is their superpower.

  7. I wonder when the last time Jake Tapper came out against a Leftist?
    Like, never?

  8. Cry’in out loud, Crenshaw is a grown man, he can take the insults, he’s a politician!
    Stein is right, Crenshaw is a RINO. However, Stein most likely is a Democrat plant.
