Rep. Dan Crenshaw and his staff were violently confronted at the Republican Party of Texas convention a short time ago, when far-right social media activist Alex Stein and others whom witnesses described as Proud Boys began shouting “eyepatch McCain” at him – an attempted insult coined by Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson.
A witness to the incident tells Mediaite that in addition to Stein and others being escorted out of the building, “some arrests” were made at the scene. No photos or video have come out showing any at the time of this post.
“They got physical with multiple people, including hitting them with cameras,” a witness at the scene said. “His campaign manager was assaulted by being pushed aggressively into a pillar.”

I saw a video clip and Crenshaw appeared untouched. It looked like a case of aggressive, in-your-face heckling by two or three people.
I wonder if Dan likes, ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’?
I see what you did there. ;-) LMAO
No videos or photos have come out... Right, cause it’s hard to prove assault that didn’t happen.

“Assaulted”
Remember when the mob almost got Rand Paul on the streets of DC and the protection seemed woefully (or intentionally) inadequate. The media apologized for the crowd. You know, first amendment and all. They just got a little rowdy.
