Crenshaw, thy name is Mudd

I would be very interested in the entire statement and the context in which it was said — this reads like clickbait, though I don’t know enough to say.
[DailyBeast] Dan Crenshaw Blasts GOP Freedom Caucus: They’re ’Grifters’ and ’Performance Artists’

Besides calling out attention-seeking colleagues like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, Crenshaw also surprisingly heaped praise on pariah Adam Kinzinger.

Crenshaw came to the defense of current GOP pariah and avowed Trump critic Adam Kinzinger, praising the retiring Illinois congressman for his conservative voting record.

"Adam Kinzinger voted with Trump almost 99 percent [of the time]. He was number two," Crenshaw said of the Illinois lawmaker, who is one of only two Republicans on the Jan. 6 House select committee.

As for the Freedom Caucus—which consists of headline-making congresspeople such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, and Matt Gaetz—Crenshaw pointed out that the group largely sits at the bottom of the Trump-supporting pile.

Dan has show his true RINO deepstate colors over and over. Yet no one is willing to call out the Cyclops.





Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail looks at the facts a little differently:
  • Rep. Dan Crenshaw slams 'grifters in our midst' as he criticized 'performance artists' of the House Freedom Caucus who issue 'lie after lie after lie' during campaign event in Texas

  • He is the latest high-profile figure to take issue with GOP members who hog the headlines with outlandish claims

  • But he defended Rep. Adam Kinzinger who he said voted with Trump 99 percent of the time - but is now hated by MAGA world for joining Jan 6 investigation

#22  Samuel Alexander Mudd Sr. (December 20, 1833 – January 10, 1883) was an American physician who was imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the 1865 assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

After Booth's death on April 26, 1865, Mudd was arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder Lincoln. The prosecution called 366 witnesses.

On June 29, Mudd was found guilty with the others. The testimony of Louis J. Weichmann was crucial in obtaining the convictions. According to historian Edward Steers, the testimony presented by former slaves was also crucial, but it faded from public memory.[20] Mudd escaped the death penalty by one vote and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Surratt, Powell, Atzerodt and Herold were hanged at the Old Penitentiary at the Washington Arsenal on July 7, 1865.

Mudd was just 49 years old when he died of pneumonia, on January 10, 1883, and was buried in the cemetery at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Bryantown, the same church in which he once met Booth.

#21  Crenshaw is not a conservative. The people "fighting" are not conservatives.

Got it?

I don't get it, fighting within the conservative ranks or just jockeying for non-positions on positions?

#17  Conservative Inc. is busy convincing themselves they are still in charge while the electorate moves on. This is a good thing.

#16  secular conservatism?

The GOP under Trump has jettisoned the Country Club Republicans in favor of the blue-collar folks that form the backbone of this country. This demographic shift puts the party closer to the way it was under Reagan before the Bush clan took over.

It is not a secular/religious divide, it is more like Omega vs Deltas as far I can tell.

Notional Review cruises. Lincoln Project contributions. Yes, yes, the stuff that pushes back the marxist world takeover project.

Cripe...

#13   He's right, once you guys stop worshipping Donald Trump and return to secular conservatism it becomes so easy to see

#6  Dan Bongino discussed Crenshaw and his remarks on the Tuesday podcast (Rumble). Bongino outright called Crenshaw a liar. Maybe someone can put that video here...

Apparently Crenshaw lied about Kinzinger voting record. His "liberty score" was 45 out of 100.
