The battle over the Speaker of the House is creating some bad blood among Republicans, and it seems like not everyone will make it out of this unscathed.
Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw is using some serious fighting words to describe fellow Republicans, and frankly, it’s a bit disappointing.
During an appearance on the Guy Benson show, Crenshaw referred to opponents of McCarthy as terrorists:
I understand his frustration, but terrorists? Really?
And it doesn’t end there. During a moment with a CNN reporter, Crenshaw referred to the same people as “enemies.”
FOX News reports:
Dan Crenshaw calls anti-McCarthy Republicans ‘enemies’ in fiery interviewRep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, vented about GOP “enemies” against Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House in a fiery interview on Tuesday.”They are enemies now,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju. “They have made it clear that they prefer a Democrat agenda [over] a Republican one.”A small but crucial group of conservative Republicans are not backing McCarthy for House Speaker, leaving who will hold the gavel in doubt.”This handful of members is very clearly looking for notoriety over principle,” Crenshaw said. “That’s what it is, and anyone who suggests differently is in some sort of make-believe, fantasy reality.”Crenshaw said when you’re part of a team, “you hash this stuff out … and then you move on,” unless you’re a “narcissist.””If you’re a narcissist, and you believe that your opinion is so much more important than everyone else’s and you’ll keep going, and you’ll threaten to tear down the team for the benefit of the Democrats, just because of your own sense of self-importance, that’s exactly what’s happening here,” he said.

Tucker Carlson talked about this last night. He was not impressed.
Crenshaw responded on Twitter:
Everyone in the GOP needs to calm down and remember Reagan’s Eleventh Commandment.
