As a white male conservative, he is considered a terrorist and an enemy of the state, so long as the Democrats are in charge. What Pelosi would really like to do is have him dragged out of the building and publicly executed. Fining him is just the beginning.

I started my post out by honoring Crenshaw’s service but I’m even doubting that because of how forcefully he disputes that the election was stolen and mocks those who say so. I consider the people that feel that way to be either a complete idiot or outright traitor. Likely this metal detector story was a stunt for publicity.

“whatโ€™s the fine for illegally entering the country ??? “

Free money, free place to live, free medical care, and pre-filled out ballots for life.

I'm not ready to throw him under the bus.

According to Wicki;

He served for 10 years, and

" Crenshaw was commissioned in the United States Navy, and served on SEAL Team 3 in the War in Afghanistan, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was wounded in action during his third deployment, losing his right eye to an improvised explosive device. He served as a legislative assistant to Representative Pete Sessions, and was elected to Congress in the 2018 midterm election to succeed the retiring Ted Poe. "

Two years after getting out, in 2018, Creshaw ran and won election for U.S.House of Representatives.


IF the stats about military suicides are real (I personally doubt the numbers, but that's another subject for another time ), returning warriors are coming home and thinking WTF ?

Everything I've read and conversed in the last twenty years informs me today's military is no where near MY 1965 - 1967 stint in the Army.

Guys MUST be coming home with a different trauma that my Viet era buddies did ( I didn't go in country, I was stationed in Korea ).


I personally believe there's a streak of rebel in Dan Crenshaw and ignoring a metal detector is akin to not wearing a mask in Congress.

Everyone knows it's bullshit, but some Nancy's just have to get all wee wee'd up.

Service is one thing, but it should not become armor against criticism. No veteran’s service should, not even my own. Regarding Dan Crenshaw, even though I’m a Michigan resident, I got excited in the hype around him, but that changed very quickly around mid 2019 when I heard that he was in support of Red Flag Laws, and cosponsored H.R. 838 (the T.A.P.S) act If I’m not mistaken, within the last week he signed on to something which had provisions for red flag laws. This also applies to people like Evan Hafer and Matt Best of Black Rifle Coffee Company, that jackass Dakota Meyer.

Regarding the military, I knew a lot of dirtbags when I was in, some where good at their jobs, but a lot of them I wouldn’t elevate to public office.

Why would a man who just voted for red flag gun confiscation dodge a metal detector?

John Kerry, John McCain are two wounded vets who are not worth spit. Being a wounded vet just means you are a wounded vet.

“I’m not ready to throw him under the bus.”

Just because a person served in the SEALs does not make him a good American.

I personally know an 18 year SEAL (retired) via one of my Wife’s best friends (her son).

Graduated from the Naval Academy, tired out for the SEALs immediately and served all 18 years as a SEAL.

He is 100% pro:
- John Kerry
- Chris Heinz
- Hunter Biden
- Joe Biden

HATES Trump.

He’s NOT welcome in our home any longer and he KNOWS it DAMN well.

Only that we both think you and Crenshaw are fools. Didn’t get quite the responses on this thread about Crenshaw that you thought you would, huh? Don’t judge every book by its cover.

Dan Crenshaw is a Never Trumper. Like John Cornyn he came out of the closet after the election when he thought it was safe to do so.
