Why would Rep. Crenshaw go on a podcast, Hold These Truths, with Nick Troiano for less than a week before the elections to make America First candidates look bad?
Troiano said that most of the Republican nominees for the House “aren’t accepting the results of the 2020 election.”
Troiano asked Crenshaw what that meant for the future and claimed, “this is a, you know, real threat to our ability to keep the republic.”
Crenshaw claimed that people who question election results are attention seekers.
“I have two ways of thinking about that particular issue. It’s more of a threat of people just willing to say anything to get attention,” Crenshaw said. “I mean the good news is none of these people will ever have any power to overturn elections, right? This was — it was always a lie. It was always a lie. The whole thing was always a lie. And it was a lie meant to rile people up.”
“I’ve talked about this ad nausea; it really made me angry. Cause I’m like, the promises you’re making that you’re gonna challenge the electoral college and overturn the election, there’s not even a process for you to do that,” he continued. “It doesn’t even exist. So I was like, ‘What the hell are we doing?’ And I would tell that to people kinda behind closed doors too.”
Crenshaw blasted “rabble-rouser” “political personalities” for riling people up about being able to overturn the results.
“Especially a lot of the rabble-rousers, like the political personalities, not even the politicians,” Crenshaw said.
“But even just the others, they’re like, ‘Yeah, we know that, but we just, you know, people just need their last hurrah. Like, they just need to feel like we fought one last time. Trust me; it’ll be fine.’ And I was like, ‘No, it won’t,’” he continued. “‘That’s not what people believe, and that’s not what you’re telling them. And maybe you’re smart enough to know that, but like–‘ So we have a lot of people in the political world that are just willing to say things they know aren’t true, they know aren’t true. It’s a huge manipulation.”
He doesn’t think much of our intelligence or ability to think on our own.
Crenshaw said that candidates questioning the results “to grab people’s attention” is a “threat.”
“I actually don’t think it’s the biggest threat to democracy as you do, simply because it can’t be done. But on the other hand, I think the bigger — the more generic threat is this extreme willingness to say the most extreme things just to grab people’s attention and then people’s willingness to believe some of it,” he said, finishing up.
Crenshaw is a threat by making comments like this before the election. I don’t remember him saying a word when Democrats called Donald Trump an illegitimate president and the election illegitimate. Democrats would never hurt their own. They just don’t do it.
He’s just gone bad. His expiration date has gotten here and he just doesn’t want to leave.
Screw him and his service. FDC
Crenshaw has been off on the RINO track off-and-on for a long time. Voters should get rid of him. Anyone who thinks the 2020 election was not corrupted by strategic fraud is blind to the power structure of D.C.
Crenshaw speaks to impress the elites. He does not win votes like this. He already knows he will win despite himself. He has all the tell tale signs of a RINO, not an America First conservative. He focuses a lot on smearing Trump and election “deniers”. He knows that corrupt elitists are dominant in our power structure, so he appeals… Read more »
Let’s face it, to many of us there is so much evidence that the 2020 election was rigged that we cannot trust the result. The question is what to do about the 2020 results in 2022. For those who lived through the 1960 presidential election stolen in Chicago, a president elected who led us to war, we see the parallel… Read more »
No one is calling for the election to be overturned in this campaign. Crenshaw makes up the issue and obsesses with it, because he is a vindictive opportunist. He has repeatedly insisted the election was fair. His motive is deception.
Crenshaw is a complete loser. He is on the list of RINOs to be primaried next election. Traitors aren’t wanted in the MAGA movement. Let him go ahead and come out of the Democrat closet and run on the Dem ticket or just get lost.
He doesn’t seem to be bothered by Big Stacey and Hillary or Gore as election deniers. He’s right about them, they will never win an election.
