"SNIP......

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and his staff were violently confronted at the Texas Republican Party comvention, when far-right social media activist and some Proud Boys began shouting “eyepatch McCain” at him – an attempted insult coined by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson.

A Twitter user posted video of himself verbally accosting Crenshaw.

Another person shouted “Dan Crenshaw is a traitor! He needs to be hung for treason!”

......SNIP"

1. I thought they fellated this guy. What's their beef w/him?

[BeyondGeography]

3. Pro-Ukraine and Anti-Putin

The McCain reference gives it away IMO.

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. That sounds very plausible.

Trump may have a hitlist of Republicans who share these positions that is driving the fringe of the fringe.

16. There's also plenty of fringe out there...

...on the far right, whether it's the Proud Boys, Groypers, MRA/PUAs, etc. Nearly all of them at least endorse violence, and some have engaged in violence themselves.

4. The christofascists often turn on each other, usually after they have embezzled or conned

the others.

21. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[RockRaven]

2. Cue the "I can't believe leopards ate MY face!"

[Gidney N Cloyd]

5. I don't know how the far right can keep its talking points straight.

I'd guess crib notes-- if I thought more of them could read and write.

[Leith]

6. Do you think the TX GQP will apologize to him?

Or is that only when liberals and SNL cast members hurt his feefees?

[Catherine Vincent]

29. I thought about SNL's apology too

31. I thought about SNL's apology too

7. The Texas GOP is far to the right of the rest of the GOP

Anyone who is not far far right is fair game for these assholes

9. I Love A Republican Official Being Introduced To Republican Voters, Sir

8. If Trump Republicans think Crenshaw is a traitor....

imagine what they think of Independents and Democrats. About a combined 70% of the population. The irony of accusing Crenshaw of being a "traitor" when this Trumpbot followed the Insurrectionist-in-chief, trying to overthrow the US Government..

[TheBlackAdder]

30. Were not traitors, we're "the enemy." A GOP traitor is viewed as being much worse.

[UTUSN]

10. & teh CORNYN was fiercely booed yesterday - am luerving it

[lostnfound]

14. No, he was booed for making the tiniest movement away from gun worshipping

So I don’t think that counts.

[UTUSN]

32. What part of being booed is not in my post?

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

12. 😂

[LenaBaby61]

25. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

13. Seems Nixon's southern strategy has come home to roost.

Cater to these knuckle draggers and they expect you to be as narrow minded as they are. Always. Too bad for repubs that want to get back to reason. Ain't happening.

[applegrove]

15. True this.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. "Assaulted." Political Wire, the new Raw Story.

[NCLefty]

27. Yeah, I avoid RS like the plague. And Salon.

[Yavin4]

18. The right wing forced SNL's Pete Davidson to apologize for making a joke about...

Crenshaw's eye patch.

Today, they do it with impunity.

[Swede]

19. This kind of stuff is scary. The GOP will move further right to appease these cranks.

Fascism is on the rise in America.

[LenaBaby61]

24. THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[Emile]

26. Yep, they're afraid these loons will kill them.

They embraced these lunatics to get their votes, so they only have themselves to blame.

20. Ideological purity. Any deviance means instant traitor. Crenshaw

Ideological purity. Any deviance means instant traitor.

Crenshaw's video was super macho.

Especially when he jumped out of an airplane and landed on a car hood without the parachute or any of the harness.

23. Y'know, we Democrats can tend to eat our own

but metaphorically. These crazy-ass Republicans have lost what little is left of their minds.

[HAB911]

28. Dr Frankenstein can't control his monster?

too f'ing bad

[Gore1FL]

33. In their efforts to divide a nation, it's no surprise they divided themselves, as well. nt
