Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw was caught on video snapping at a young girl at a Texas Tea Party event on Monday evening, earning furious heckling from GOP voters there.
One angry audience member shouted that the girl was just 10 years old.
She had asked the veteran-turned-lawmaker about recent comments he made suggesting Jesus Christ was not 'real' despite publicly declaring himself a devout Christian, during a question session at the at the Montgomery County Tea Party meeting.
'The important thing is that we societal hero archetypes that we look up to. Jesus is a hero archetype, Superman is a hero archetype. Real characters too, I could name a thousand,' the 10-year-old quoted Crenshaw as saying, adding civil rights icon Rosa Parks and former President Ronald Reagan to the list.
She seemed to take issue with him putting Jesus in the same category as Superman.
'I can't wrap my head around this,' she said after reading his own words back to him.
A clearly irate Crenshaw retorted, 'Well, I'll help you.'
'Put a period after the word Jesus and don't question my faith,' he said dryly.
Some in the crowd made expressions of surprise. Then, a trickle of boos turned into a cascade of disapproval directed at the Texas Republican.
'To a 10-year-old girl!' one heckler can be heard shouting. 'Wait to go, guy!'
Another person derided Crenshaw as a 'moron.'
'Don't talk to her like that,' a woman shouted, and another person added: 'Yeah, you don't talk to a kid like that.'
Crenshaw appeared defiant, once again telling the Tea Party members in the room 'Don't question my faith.'
'Oh, okay,' someone off camera quipped sarcastically.
The girl, again referring to the quote she cited, said: 'I can question your faith if this is what you said.'

He took it a step further, chiding the young Texan that her comments were 'not very Christian.'
The room erupted in shouts of 'Let's Go Brandon,' seemingly aimed at the Republican despite it being a right-wing phrase meant to stand in for 'F**k Joe Biden.'
F Eyepatch McCain.
Of course the 10-year-old girl was not put up to this.
I would love to see this guy have someone primary him.
Crenshaw needs to get Primaried on 1 March, 2021. He’s a disaster!!
This guy is a total loser.
“Don’t question my faith.”
Ok, but umm what is it?
Schwab you old NAZI you.
When asked about 1/6 prisoners, he showed his representation of patriots.

“Of course the 10-year-old girl was not put up to this.”
Yeah, this doesnt seem right.
Stupid responses like that have ended many a political career — PERIOD.
He is a deeo-state bonehead. It has been obvious for a while he can’t be trusted.
How is RINO Crenshaw even allowed at a Tea Party event?
He doesn’t do his fundraising like many others in Congress because he already has high money backers.
Who supports Crenshaw? That will tell you who owns him.
Great Reset- The Fourth Reich!
“Crenshaw appeared defiant, once again telling the Tea Party members in the room ‘Don’t question my faith.’”
What faith?
