Crenshaw Defends Calling Fellow Republicans ‘Terrorists’

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) offered no apology for calling fellow House Republicans “terrorists” during the chaotic multiple votes leading up to Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) being elected to speaker of the House.

In an appearance on Fox News on Saturday, Crenshaw did make clear that he wasn’t literally referring to his colleagues as terrorists, but he did offer a blunt warning when specific criticism from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was brought up by host Neil Cavuto.

“He’s called American citizens terrorists multiple times, so I don’t know if he really wants to play that game,” Crenshaw said of Cruz.
