GOP Rep. Crenshaw Assaults Conservatives, Imprecise, Clumsy With Absurd Protection of McCarthy

Dr. Derek Elleman

For anyone who has had a pulse and the tiniest of sensations in the last few years (well, much longer than that, but still), absolutely boast It’s only deja vu that we’ve seen the GOP establishment try to push defeated Republican leader Kevin McCarthy into the Speaker’s office.

The excuses and attacks on conservatives are always the same, and always ridiculous and toothless.

We have to elect Do-nothing Failed RINO X because of who the elected Republicans will vote for.

That might sound corny, you say. Well, have you heard a better excuse?it is fait accompli fail.

Which brings me to Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Ukraine), one of the establishment’s favorite “Doomsday of America” neocons.

Best known for scamming donors into giving him huge sums of money for Hollywood-style The Avengers— The themed campaign ad is the second most famous for being the establishment’s attack dog against conservatives — and unsurprisingly, he did it again yesterday.

“Clinchshaw”

Perhaps the first thing you notice about the tweet above is that far-left video clipper Aaron Rupar agrees completely with Crenshaw. (Hey Dan, maybe if the worst far left weirdo agrees with you, it’s time to reconsider your position? Just a thought.)

In a brief interview with CNN Fake News (which he also wholeheartedly agrees with), Crenshaw accused 20 Republicans of fighting for a real, real Speaker of the House who were “very clearly looking for notoriety rather than principle” .

He continued: “Anyone who suggests otherwise is in some kind of fictional fantasy reality.”

Well, my advice is different, and unlike “Cringeshaw,” I haven’t (yet) made a campaign ad pretending to be Iron Man.

But what are the “principles” that Crenshaw is talking about? Is it principled to give up all your beliefs and any hope of fulfilling your campaign promises? how? Why? What the hell is he talking about?

Often, the argument is reversed: these stubborn 20 are putting their principles above the party! Party orientated!We cannot be stubborn ideologues, we must compromise and flexible!

In essence, what Crenshaw is saying is that the first, and perhaps the only principle, is submission to the establishment of the Republican Party. but why? For what purpose? What do we farmers get out of this deal?

Moving on, Crenshaw gives us the usual grandstanding about how it actually is democrats Who benefits if conservatives demand conservative leadership, is actually “narcissistic” to fight for what is promised to voters, etc.

One of the main problems with the establishment of the Conservative Party versus the Republican Party is that they spend a lot of money in the primaries to choose who they want, not who the voters want. McCarthy/McConnell/McDaniel are doing it, and McCarthy won’t agree to stop it. This is the part that is currently on hold.

Who do they work for?

Ultimately, the whole thing boils down to a very simple calculus. Namely: Will Kevin McCarthy undergo some miraculous and extreme transformation, and if he gets the speaker’s office, will he become more conservative?

This is the main problem.McCarthy Lifetime Score on FreedomWorks Scorecard less than 70%.you expect him to be more When is the pressure really on?

If you do, I have a bridge in Vietnam that I can sell you.

But that’s not the point. If he has stars in his eyes, it’s not necessarily McCarthy’s fault. More to blame is Republican Crenshaw. Those who do much worse than just line up are actually going out of their way to attack the party’s voters and beliefs.

Meanwhile, he was just re-elected by a huge margin, and what do I know?

In this world, as always, you get what you pay for.
