This is not in defense of Cheney or Crenshaw.

I think Crenshaw wants a unified Republican front and he loathes Republicans who are out to be social media stars and playing to the base rather than sticking to their jobs.

And in a way, he's right. Congress has become the ugly people version of Hollywood just as Fred Thompson predicted.

When has someone like AOC been to her district and actually talked to her constituents? I mean, I love MTG to death but every other day she is taking photos, attending these rallies with Gaetz, etc. Even about 10 years ago this would be unheard from members of Congress.

Now again, I'm just speculating that this is Crenshaw's point of view. I think he's morphing into a House version of McCain. It remains to be seen.

This is probably closer to the truth than a lot of other hot takes. I don't hold anything particularly for or against Crenshaw, people are allowed to be complicated and they don't all have to agree with the point of view I think they should have. I think just like McCain, Crenshaw likes the political spotlight and loves doing the whole "clown nose on/clown nose off" bit criticizing other politicians for publicity-gaining stunts that he himself has used.

I'd like to know what, other than being born the daughter of Dick Cheney qualifies Liz Cheney to be a leader in the House of Representatives. Her entire life's work has been walking through doors opened by her father's political pull and in the only two times in her political career she was called on to make a gutsy decision, she blew it both times (badly fumbling a position on gay marriage when her own sister was in a gay marriage, and the whole Trump impeachment stuff). Those two incidents reveal her character as spineless and the voters of Wyoming are apparently wising up to the fact.

MTG is in a unique position. The Democrats and Republicans have removed her from all committee assignments, so she has a lot of free time. I think she’s using it wisely. She does a lot of interviews from her home in Georgia.

“I think Crenshaw wants a unified Republican front “

The only problem there is the same old thing. To then “unified” means we fall all over ourselves to join into their direction. Turds like Crenshaw, Cheney, McConnell, etc are never willing to support the base in the name of unity.
