Representative Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas) on Wednesday slammed the 20 House Republicans who have opposed House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the speakership.
“I’m tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say on the campaign trail, alright. Behind closed doors tell us what you actually want, or shut the f*** up,” he said of the holdouts, according to the Washington Post’s Dylan Wells.//snip//“They need to be men and adults and say what they want, instead of playing these little games, that’s what we’re asking. That’s what I’ve asked them. Some of them are my friends. Stop saying platitudes like, ‘Washington is broken. We can’t do the

Which House leader has ever enjoyed universal member support? NOT ONE. Grow up you holdouts. There is work to be done. I am fed up with minority opinions that seek control far in excess of their numbers. I would bet that Pelosi would have paid good money to rid herself of the pestilent Squad.

I’m sure there’s a reason for his refusal to acquiesce to bring a balanced budget amendment to a vote.
I suppose a “no inflationary” fiscal policy is a no go.
I remember a wise OG telling me (in the 1980s i think) that the last surplus was under Nixon in 1968 or 1969 and it was quickly followed by a recession. But don’t quote me.

Mr Speaker needs to negotiate with his party - they want some agreements that Mc won't sell out, so far he doesn't have a track record of holding anything dear. POTUS, IRS oversight, FBI oversight, J6 liberty, DOJ oversight - is he willing to KILL budget of these corrupt and un-answerable bureaucracies giving the House and our Constitution the bird??? Crenshas is such a poseur.

Crenshaw, you're in my district. Won't vote for you again. Will be working for some opponent next time. You smarted off one too many times.

He's right. The RINO holdouts need to stop helping the Democrats. So is Trump a jerk now for telling them to get behind McCarthy? Marjorie Taylor Greene? I thought everybody on here loved those two.

Several years ago, Crenshaw gave a fine, conservative speech on TV so I sent a contribution to his campaign. Since then, he has mightily disappointed by appearing to side with the anti-Trumpers, so my contributions stopped. We do not want the same old 'tax and spend' but we do want the greatest president ever, TRUMP, reinstated into his truly-won position. We do not trust elections, most politicians, or the Covid farce. Please, please, again put America first. You were a warrior for our country... join with those demanding a Speaker who is on the side of the people... not a finger in the wind guy.

Crenshaw is a deep State A hole and needs to shut the EF up. I saw him on Fox shooting his mouth off about supporting KMcC and it made me sick. Take a hike you dumb arse!!!

The standard "thank you for your service". With honest sincerity.
But then... who are you now? What did you become?
And most importantly... does the eye patch hide a RINO?

Anything that riles Crenshaw makes me gladder.
IDK about McCarhy, but Real POTUS, MTG and Jim Jordan have endorsed him and that does carry weight. Crenshaw can fry his donkey though.

Is this article from Bill Krystol's website? Why do Conservatives give a flying rat arse what this website has to say. Especially when it comes to a McCain progressive RINO like Crenshaw.

This is a very poor article Crenshaw made his remarks near the end of a press conference today in which a number of Republican congressmen who are also military veterans - most of them combat veterans with many years of service - called out the 20 holdouts for not putting the country first. For being 10% of the Republicans holding 90% hostage and not cooperating by working to resolve their complaints about McCarthy. I believe some of the 20 rebels went into a meeting wth McCarthy during the early arfternoon break. They resume voting at 8PMET.

Let me help you, Dan. The Freedom Caucus members don’t believe whatever McCarthy says, and they hate his guts, besides.
I am inclined to agree with them.

Given McCarthy's hubris in moving into the office before the vote even took place, combined with his baggage of sabotaging anything MAGA, the ones who need to grow up are those who still support the backstabbing McCarthy from California.

Exactly, #8. It won’t be long before some will be calling President Trump and Rep. Greene RINOs.

24, exactly right. It's not a game. That's why Dan needs to shut his pie hole and the rest of the party needs to figure out why these 20 find McCarthy so unacceptable, and then vote for someone else.
We absolutely should never put the wrong person in a position of power because the process of getting a real American in is messy.

I don't know what any of them want, but for starters I'd prefer not expanding the 32 TRILLION debt. Then defund a lot of agencies, starting with the FBI and CIA. To answer #8's question, I voted for Trump to smash the uniparty corruption. That endorsement is the opposite of that, So in this case, jerk.

Amazing how many people whine about the "Gutless Republicans who refuse to stand up for Conservative Values against the Deep State- Uniparty Establishment RINOs"...
Yet when a few brave souls actually do, they are attacked by those same whiners for being" stupid, selfish traitors".

Behind close doors Dan?!? I guess you really don't believe that the reps are supposed to work for the PEOPLE.

So only 10% of the GOP reps are Conservative? The 90% are what? Moderates? Socialists? Commies? So I reckon Conservatives do not deserve any Representation? What do I actually want? I want to apologize I was ever a member of the GOP. At least todays GOP. None of these ego maniacs care about we the peons.

If Crenshaw can't already "...tell us what they want," then he should resign in disgrace as being deliberately and hopelessly out of touch with Republican voters.

Crenshaw is a huge disappointment. He is swamp & WEF super spreader. I would like to direct my Ldotter friends over to the conservative treehouse in order to understand the importance of change in RHINO leadership. If something isn’t done, our dollar becomes worthless, our IA continues to spy on us, the invasion of our border continues, & our culture descends into moral decline. We need to end the business as usual by the uni-party. Our future is at take.
