Dan Crenshaw does social media good. What he may lack in depth perception, he makes up for in a Don Henley-esque way of getting down the heart of the matter. This is no doubt to in response to the latest casualty of the culture wars, Gina Carano. In case you didn't know, the former Star Wars star is right-leaning. She was found guilty of the high crime of tweeting right-leaning opinions.
