Crenshaw Apologizes: Calling Some GOP Colleagues Terrorists Was ‘Turn of Phrase’ During Tough Negotiations
Breitbart ^ | 01/08/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/08/2023 11:55:53 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he apologizes for calling his fellow Republicans “terrorists” during the intense negotiations over Kevin McCarthy’s speakership.

During a Fox News Radio interview, Crenshaw said, “Those of us who are standing against this, we’re standing for principle. They are standing for notoriety. They’re standing for that extra news that because nobody ever cares about them, and they’re frustrated by that, and they want that extra news that we know that we can’t give in to this because then they will always run the conference, and they’ll just get another scalp and another scalp, whether it’s whether it’s Boehner or Paul Ryan or them McCarthy. Scalise would just be next, and we all know it. We just can’t allow that to happen. That’s why those of us are saying like, look, you pushed us into this corner. So now we’re now we’re saying we won’t vote for anyone but McCarthy. That’s why we’re saying it because we cannot let the terrorists win. That’s basically what’s happening. And I do have to go.”

Sorry jerk. You’re not forgiven. You aren’t a terrorist, you’re just an a-hole establishment tool.

A “turn of phrase” which revealed his obscene pro-globalist world view.

Once these creeps have full control, every form of dissent will be labeled “terrorism.”

He should be made to go around one day with his patch on the other side eye.

Much like Igor did in ‘Young Frankenstein’.

A “gaffe” is when you unintentionally say what you really think.

“Turn of phrase”, “top of mind”, they’re so out of touch with this country that they have their own language.

“It’s certainly a turn of phrase that you use in an intransigent negotiation.””

Like hell it is.

He also called Gaetz and crew “enemies of the state” at one point too.

This is the guy McCarthy has lined up to be our new Homeland Security Committee Chairman!

So just think of Crenshaw, whenever you see someone who supported McCarthy.

I hope everyone he insulted will shun him. I hope his constituents shun him. What a nasty piece of work he turned out to be.
