Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, on Wednesday blasted his Republican colleagues who are refusing to support Kevin McCarthy for House Speaker.
“I’m tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say on the campaign trail, alright,” Crenshaw said of the 20 Republican defectors, according to the Washington Post’s Dylan Wells. “Behind closed doors tell us what you actually want, or shut the f— up.”
Crenshaw’s fiery comments come as House Republicans flailed through a second day of fruitless balloting, unable to elect McCarthy as House Speaker or come up with a new strategy.

Apparently this isn’t the first time Crenshaw has had problems with conservatives. The following is from June ’22.
Dan Crenshaw Confronted by Angry Republicans Calling Him ‘Globalist RINO’
Representative Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas, was confronted by a group of protesters at the Texas Republican convention on Saturday who yelled at him, followed him and appeared to clash with staff.
In a video shared on Twitter by Alex Stein, Stein can be heard yelling “eye patch McCain” at the lawmaker and calling him a “globalist RINO.” Others can be seen following and yelling at Crenshaw as he walks through a hall at the convention.

Why would these GOP Fools not support Rep. Jim Jordan Republican, Ohio (OH) for House speaker?
Rep. Jim Jordan has stood up against the treasonous corrupt Democrat and for our citizens much more than Kevin McCarthy.
If Jim Jordan was a conservative he wouldn’t have voted for McCarthy 8 times.
The Democrats have been destroying our country for the past 2 1/2 years, waiting 5, 6, 7 days to pick the right Speaker is the absolute right thing to do! Crenshaw is a card carrying RINO.
He may have ‘stood up’ in the past, but with his 8 votes for Mccarthy, i am not so certain he’s a conservative WE can trust.
Believe that he does not want the job
I often wonder, is that a tactic, to GET the job? Appear to be the one MOST NOT WANTING the spot??
Wonder how many republicans are really RINO. One thing is to think outside the box and the other is fall in line with democrats every time.
It does work for democrats though; noticed how they all fell in line to elect someone right away.
They are like borg.. Following the orders of the collective.
The Democrats ‘fall in line’ every time, because if they don’t, the Marxist left destroys them. The Democrats have zero integrity, no credibility, they do not think for themselves.
The borg must have modeled themselves ON The DNC!!
I was dumb enough to think Crenshaw was going to be another conservative Texas warrior. But this **** he is putting out now doesn’t surprise me because a few months ago I heard him saying something about having to do something about “climate change”. I thought “WHAT?” Did I just hear this Texas war veteran running as a Texas conservative give lip service to the climate change scam? Well, I did, and because of that I am not surprised at this latest nonsense.
I HOPED when i first heard of him, he was going to be a conservative. BUT after seeing his stance on the 2a, back in his first term in office, i KNEW he was a Rino!
