Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw was caught on video snapping at a young girl at a Texas Tea Party event on Monday evening, earning furious heckling from GOP voters there.
One angry audience member shouted that the girl was just 10 years old.
She had asked the veteran-turned-lawmaker about recent comments he made suggesting Jesus Christ was not 'real' despite publicly declaring himself a devout Christian, during a question session at the at the Montgomery County Tea Party meeting.
'The important thing is that we societal hero archetypes that we look up to. Jesus is a hero archetype, Superman is a hero archetype. Real characters too, I could name a thousand,' the 10-year-old quoted Crenshaw as saying, adding civil rights icon Rosa Parks and former President Ronald Reagan to the list.
She seemed to take issue with him putting Jesus in the same category as Superman.
'I can't wrap my head around this,' she said after reading his own words back to him.
A clearly irate Crenshaw retorted, 'Well, I'll help you.'
'Put a period after the word Jesus and don't question my faith,' he said dryly.
Some in the crowd made expressions of surprise. Then, a trickle of boos turned into a cascade of disapproval directed at the Texas Republican.
'To a 10-year-old girl!' one heckler can be heard shouting. 'Wait to go, guy!'
Another person derided Crenshaw as a 'moron.'
'Don't talk to her like that,' a woman shouted, and another person added: 'Yeah, you don't talk to a kid like that.'
Crenshaw appeared defiant, once again telling the Tea Party members in the room 'Don't question my faith.'
'Oh, okay,' someone off camera quipped sarcastically.
The girl, again referring to the quote she cited, said: 'I can question your faith if this is what you said.'

“’Don’t question my faith’: Rep. Dan Crenshaw SNAPS...”
Wow, he’s starting to sound like Kristi Noem and Ted Cruz, and almost as bad as that electric car shill here.
Aaaargh! Matey, we got er new McCain on board!!
Crenshaw is a POS...
His Harvard indoctrination is obliterating his SEAL indoctrination...
There’s nothing worse than a bully who berates little girls.
The logical brain rot that is a precondition to being a RINO.
Yes its sad, he could have been a contender.
“Of course the 10-year-old girl was not put up to this.”
Doesn’t matter, he took the bait, now he has to deal with it.
I guess his SEAL training emphasized “when in a hole, keep digging”.
To show how partisan everything has become, if this little girl was Greta Thundberg many of you would all be attacking her instead of Crenshaw.
This out of control partisanship is why 60% of the electorate is turned off and disgusted with politics and hate either party.
Many of you know I am right except ones with the most ideologial litmust test. Discourse in politics has gotten out of control.
Before you flame me back in my day youth would not have even got snappy with him...there was respect of elders even of you did not agree with them.
“Every question is a potential set-up. You may not be prepared for a “gotcha” question but you should know how not to over react.”
...particularly to a 10 year old girl.
Looks like this RINO tool has been revealed.
Oh bull crap.

If gretta had said it , I would have given her an atta girl too.
Was the kid questioning his faith in Superman?
Is Crenshaw a Supermanian?
“I count Crenshaw as a net positive instead of a net negative.”
I will say he’s better than any Democrat, and Cheney, and Murkowski. After that, it gets fuzzy. He really should take the time to understand why the base is so pissed about the 2020 election, rather than telling us that we’re full of shit for even questioning what happened.
But...but...that’s our Tulsi there!
*** Looks like this RINO tool has been revealed. ***
I warned TX FReepers about him during his first primary. Alas, they found the eye patch soooo cool.
Right. And the more I learn about this guy.... Just wow.
Yea not a set up at all. (Rolling eyes)
Pretty clear there are 2 separate thoughts there, and yea a period exists between Christ and the Superman sentence. This is just white noise
Not Crenshaws biggest fan but not worked up over this.
