Is RepDanCrenshaw trying to score points with the Left, asks TomJoyceSports.
Crenshaw called some of his Republican House colleagues"terrorists" because they dared to oppose Rep. Kevin McCarthy in his bid to become House speaker."We cannot let the terrorists win,” Crenshaw told Time. Of the Republicans who oppose McCarthy, he added, “Behind closed doors, tell us what you actually want, or shut the f*** up.”
“To the extent that I have colleagues that were offended by it, I sincerely apologize to them,” Crenshaw said. “I don’t want them to think I actually believe they’re terrorists. It’s clearly a turn of phrase that you use in what is an intransigent negotiation.” For one, about 20 House Republicans opposed McCarthy for speaker. No one individual member of Congress can get much done alone, so it's short-sighted for Crenshaw to insult these people needlessly, since he may need to work with them in the future. If Crenshaw wants to get more corporate welfare for his donors in the energy industry, having a decent relationship with some colleagues who could help him get it done could be beneficial.
Crenshaw’s name-calling makes him no better than any other attention-starved politicians in Congress who grandstand for the camera. A handful of people in both political parties do this, and they are often those with few political achievements, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .
