WATCH: RINO Dan Crenshaw Has Total Freakout, Loses It in Conspiratorial Rant after Voters Oust Him
American Tribune ^ | May 06, 2026 | Will Tanner

Posted on 05/06/2026 6:25:07 AM PDT by Red Badger

Speaking in an interview that followed his primary election defeat in Texas, where MAGA voters ousted him and replaced him with the far better Steve Toth, longtime anti-Trump RINO Dan Crenshaw went on an angry and conspiratorial rant in which he claimed that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), of all people, had stirred up anti-RINO sentiment against him.

In the interview, Crenshaw began his angry and conspiratorial rambling about why he lost with commentary about how it is mean that conservatives don’t like him, saying, “There’s nothing, especially conservatives, there’s nothing they love more than to tear down their own and figure out a reason why, even if they have to make it up, and it’s sort of part of the culture, right? It’s like, ‘Let’s Go RINO hunting.'”

Contrasting that with the left and blaming Ted Cruz, thought by many in MAGA to be something of a RINO, for it, Crenshaw said, “You know, the Democrats don’t have a term like that, but the Republicans do. That’s been going on for years and years and years, and it’s been…I think the source of a lot of it is Ted, Senator Cruz.”

Crenshaw continued, the journalist agreeing with him, by keeping up the ridiculous and conspiratorial attacks on Sen. Cruz, saying, “Yeah, that’s been obvious to me for years, years and years and years. That’s been obvious to me. He just finally pulled his mask off. Maybe he’ll look better now.”

The journalist then laughed at his joke about Cruz looking better, and Crenshaw awkwardly went back and forth with her on it in a semi-flirtateous way, saying, “Why did you laugh that was so mean? Are you saying he doesn’t. Anyway, you laughed. I didn’t laugh. You laughed. And hold it together.”

Returning somewhat to his point, Crenshaw entertainingly claimed that he was a big primary threat to Cruz, who attacked him for that reason, saying, “There’s no beef. He just, he’s just, I don’t know if Cruz has any friends, you know. I mean, like, the only, the only obvious reasoning is like, he, you know, he always viewed me as a threat, like a primary threat…”

Then, when asked if he had a “weird tension” with Sen. Cruz, the ousted RINO responded, “Enough so we’re like, back in early 2021, I felt the need to talk to him and say, ‘Senator, I will never primary you. Just so you know, never going to do it.'”

Crenshaw then claimed to face continual betrayal from Cruz’s staff, saying, “There was always somebody close to him, just just oddly, just just betraying me for no reason, you know, like Michael Berry, a radio host who’s just this drunken, like, cheating loser, who like, but he did get me elected in my first term, you know, and so, but he’s, you know, and then he got mad at me because I wasn’t paying enough ad money on his radio station back in the election in 2020. Sure enough, you know. Right after that, he starts going crazy on me. And so it’s all money with these guys.”

Continuing, Crenshaw then rambled about various online political figures and “MAGA influencers” he doesn’t like, and concluded by insisting, “These losers . . . just start this cottage industry of slandering me online, just making crap up if they have to, it didn’t matter what it was. And so you know that, again, the ties to Cruz are very, are very obvious.”

Danny Boy, you lost! You lost because of what you do... not someone else did! I would say just “Man up”, but I don’t think you’re much of a man.

I can’t really fault somebody for getting upset when they are tossed out. Important thing is that he was tossed out.

He got blackmailed. Now that he is out of power, they can release whatever they have on him.

All Crenshaw is doing is confirming that the voters chose wisely.

Navy SEALs hosting podcasts on YouTube seems to be a thing these days, maybe he can go cash in that way. Quiet Professional be damned, there’s money in those clicks and views.

Let’s Go RINO hunting.

Well, if you weren’t a Rino you would have nothing to worry about.

Time to move on Crenshaw .

I’m not a fan of Crenshaw’s politics lately, but I respect him for his service as a Navy Seal. It’s sad to see someone who obviously had strength and courage act like a spoiled kindergartner throwing a juvenile temper tantrum over a legitimate loss and set-back.
