Unfortunately, it looks like Dan Crenshaw is now falling in line with the Dems, calling out people he shouldn’t be calling out.
Of course, we need to put this into context here. It would appear to even the casual observer that the GOP has embraced some version of the victim complex in the past few years. How so? Well, they’ve been “silenced” by tyrannical liberals even though they serve in public office, appearing frequently on right-wing news shows, and getting op-eds published in major newspapers.
They have said things like vaccine mandates are similar to the Holocaust. They claim that they are being “targeted” on social media for their “political” views, climate change views, views on race, views regarding COVID-19, and even views regarding school shootings. Of course, there is probably a grain of truth to a lot of this, but the Democrats will just continue to claim that the reason the GOP is doing this is that they want to get votes.
Enter Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). She had been testing the waters repeatedly to see what type of talk would get her banned from Twitter. To wit, she supported some of the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol building on January 6th of last year; she openly called for succession, and she posted a lot of information about the COVID-19 vaccine. That last little tidbit was apparently too much for the liberal platform, and that was what got her banned from Twitter and also suspended from Facebook for 24 hours.
Critics of Greene – and they are legion – are now claiming that Greene is very busy yelling about this turn of events and exploiting her “victim status” to anyone who will listen and anyone who will donate money to her political campaign.
Perhaps the most surprising critic of Marjorie Taylor Greene would be Dan Crenshaw, and that is one of the reasons for this headline describing how he has “fallen in line with Dems.” He called what Greene was doing a “scam” and claiming that she had refused to vote for the bill because she wanted to prevent “censorship.” Of course, everyone knows that businesses in the United States have the right to set their own terms, and any Supreme Court argument that a Twitter ban violates the First Amendment would be totally dead in the water. Moreover, this infighting is not necessarily a good thing when you consider that the midterms are approaching in 2022 and Greene could conceivably lose her seat.
While Twitter was amused by this big reveal from Crenshaw, die-hard Republicans everywhere are sadly bereft and wondering if Crenshaw is on his way to becoming another RINO.
