Let's see: Tea Party, Texas.
I think it would be safe to say there might be more than a handful of fundamentalist Christians in the crowd. Given his stance and prior comments on certain points/topics, he might have even boosted attendance by members of that segment for this event.

Given those points and following the principle of not discussing certain topics in public, bringing up his own faith was like waving a steel rod in a thunderstorm.

Be interesting to see how he fares politically going forward and if he still does it under a GOP Banner.

He’s done. He had the chance to be a hero of the right, but decided to go with the money.

He will not be missed in office.

'Don't question my faith': Rep. Dan Crenshaw SNAPS at 10-year-old girl who asked him about comments he made about Jesus and gets booed by the crowd at the Tea Party event

  • Crenshaw was taking questions from audience members at a Texas Montgomery County Tea Party event on Monday evening
  • The girl brought up Crenshaw appearing to compare Jesus Christ to a fictional character like Superman despite his public claims to be a devout Christian
  • The Republican stood firm even when the crowd started to boo him
  • At one point Crenshaw lectured the girl and told her she was not acting 'very Christian,' prompting the crowd to derisively chant 'Let's Go Brandon' at him
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.

Crenshaw appeared on the Jocko Podcast in March 2020 to promote his new book Fortitude, where he was asked to elaborate on his thoughts on heroism.

'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.

'You guys can ask questions about all of these things and I will answer them. But don't question my faith,' Crenshaw defended.

The girl, again referring to the quote she cited, said: 'I can question your faith if this is what you said.'

'That's - I mean you can read the quote again, but nowhere in that quote am I saying Jesus is not real. That's a ridiculous statement,' the GOP lawmaker responded.

Crenshaw has been criticized by his fellow Republicans for going against Donald Trump's baseless election fraud claims and saying that some of his fellow GOP lawmakers were 'grifters''s baseless election fraud claims and saying that some of his fellow GOP lawmakers were 'grifters'

'You can say two different things. You can say that on a podcast and you can say this here,' the 10-year-old told him.

Crenshaw told the girl she was 'twisting' his words, prompting more angry crowd reaction and exasperated sighs of 'Come on!'

He took it a step further, chiding the young Texan that her comments were 'not very Christian.'

The room erupted in shouts of 'Let's Go Brandon,' seemingly aimed at the Republican despite it being a right-wing phrase meant to stand in for 'F**k Joe Biden.'

'It's not. And I'm not going to have my faith questioned,' Crenshaw said.

His heated spat with the young girl in Montgomery County on Monday night was resoundingly mocked by both sides of the aisle on Twitter.

'I don’t think Dan Crenshaw is gonna raise a lot of money off *this* video,' wrote Scott T. Parkinson, the vice president of government affairs at right-wing political action committee Club for Growth.

LGBTQ and veterans' affairs activist Charlotte Clymer said, 'the video of Dan Crenshaw livid over a 10 year-old girl reading his own quote to him is pretty damn funny.'

Pat Spearman, a Democrat running for mayor of North Las Vegas in Nevada, praised the girl and other youths her age for standing up to politicians.

'Dan Crenshaw being intimidated by a 10 year old girl tells you all you need to know about the next generation. They're not here for malarky,' Spearman wrote.

The Texas Republican has been accosted by members of his own party for publicly disputing former President Donald Trump's false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, as well as warning there were 'grifters' and liar within his caucus.

Michael Berry (TX. talk radio host) was a supporter of Crenshaw.

I'd heard a few callers absolutely skewer the one eyed jack.

Will be interesting to see how Berry handles him in the next election cycle.

I do understand we have leftist trolls and Soro’s basement dwellers who push and post leftist stories to work it for the great reset, but really I am supposed to read A Story from a UK media site?????

The same UK who think their socialist government run healthcare system and nanny state fascism is working????

Isn’t it time to start posting stories about Trump and DeSantis feuding to drive a wedge and try to protect democrats in the midterms.

I haven't been listening to Michael Berry for a while, but at one point, I think he's distancing himself from Crenshaw. Michael was a big supporter. Crenshaw lost me after the Jan 6 unpleasantness, when he started blasting the demonstrators. I think he should have been on a white horse, riding up the Capitol steps. Instead he was breaking chair legs off, to repel the demonstrators. He's a plastic man.

Heard he was a member of the world economic forumn. Those people are helping push the great reset.
I really wanted to like dan after he laid waste to bill maher, but it looks like he's gone to the dark side, or is headed in that direction. Sad really, he fought and bled for this country and now looks to be undermining it. SMH
