Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw apologized on Sunday for referring to some of his GOP colleagues as “terrorists” during negotiations that led to the election of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as House speaker.

Crenshaw shared the apology during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper.

“Look, things get heated and things get said. Obviously, to people who took offense by that, it’s pretty obvious that it’s meant as a turn of phrase,” Crenshaw said.

“I’ve got pretty thick skin. I’m called awful, vile things by the very same wing of the party that I was fighting at that moment. So I was a little taken aback by the sensitivity of it. But to the extent that I have colleagues that were offended by it, I sincerely apologize to them. I don’t want them to think I actually believe they’re terrorists. It’s clearly a turn of phrase that you use in an intransigent negotiation,” he added.

Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, had referred to the 20 GOP holdouts against McCarthy as “terrorists.” He later doubled down on his remarks but explained they weren’t intended to be taken literally.

[Guenevere]

TOO LATE!!!!!
You were awful and you will do it again.

[TalBlack]

State the vile names and state who said them.

[achilles2000]

Crenshaw is a WEF narcissist. Unfortunately, he’s in a safe district masquerading as a “conservative”.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Crenshaw is a card carrying RINO.

Some things can’t be walked back. This is one of them.

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

No sale

You blew it eyepatch

You’ll do it again

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

It’s not an apology, and I’ll be donating to the campaign of any actual conservative that runs against him. And if Eyepatch McCain wins, I’ll be donating to his baby-killing ‘Rat opponent. I’m done with this guy.

At one time I thought Crenshaw was a good guy, No More! The DC swamp must've quickly infected him.

So primary his ass out of there.

Clean house, one by one.

Imagine if Republicans fought Democrats with even 10% of the intensity they fight other Republicans with.
