Republican congressman Dan Crenshaw unsuccessfully tried to lose two combat veterans by ducking into a private elevator as they confronted him about his support for President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C. on Thursday.

A video recorded and posted Thursday to Twitter by Common Defense, a national grassroots movement of veterans and military families mobilizing against the president, shows two members of the group confronting Crenshaw about his complicity with the Trump administration's alleged corruption and crimes as the congressman walked down the halls of the Cannon House Office Building.

Newsweek has confirmed the identities of the men as U.S. Army veterans Jason Hurd, 40, and Alan Pitts, 36, a Purple Heart recipient.................................


"Congressman Dan Crenshaw seems to have a lot of time to go after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter, so we expected him to have a few minutes to talk to some fellow combat vets," Pitts told Newsweek on Thursday evening, after the encounter. "We've got no place in our veteran community for someone like Crenshaw, who puts his self-serving political ambitions above the oath all of us swore."......................................

1. Crenshaw can't handle veterans, how can he handle ISIS?

2. Fuck you, you PoS.

3. That's some good footage for anyone who runs against him.

Shows the real Dan Crenshaw.

4. We need more of this!

The combat veteran talking and walking behind Crenshaw didn't sound disrespectful once. I hope to see more videos of similar confrontations with Republicans whether they served in the military or not--they all claim to love veterans and our country which is obviously bullsh*t.

5. Once again it is the veterans that are pulling our asses out of the fire

6. Republicans all luv vets.

As long as they are not forced, to be one themselves. Thats the extent of their loyalty, to this country.

7. Where are the Oath Keepers Now?

All of those Trump sycophants were all loud and proud in the last two elections and not a peep from them now!

I sense that the Cognitive Dissonance of some of the 30%ers is starting to erode their belief system! Not all, but some. If any of the Trump supporting republicans want to remain patriotic, or give the appearance of having patriotism, now is the time to voice their concerns. For some reason, many hold this stupid idiocy that they must maintain party loyalty for the cohesion of their Grand Old Party over Country.

We need to start telling them, we won't forget who you were when you were kissing Trumps ass!

8. Crenshaw the pirate...

...has an office not far from where we live in a N.W. suburb of Houston. We remember him going to senior living centers to get votes in 2018.

9. Crenshaw ridiculing millions of other veterans for using their benefits.

Dan Crenshaw roasted after attacking Sanders' call for veteran care

Then there should be no record of Crenshaw using veterans’ benefits?

10. No time for vets? Can't slow down? How to not deal with voters 101.

11. He knows what his marching orders are and follows them to a T...
