'Grifters in our midst': Rep. Dan Crenshaw slams GOP Freedom Caucus
Dan Crenshaw Praises Adam Kinzinger After Torching Freedom Caucus Republicans as ‘Grifters’ and ‘Performance Artists’
"There are two types of members of Congress: there is performance artists and there is legislators,” Crenshaw said. “Performance artists are the ones who get all of the attention, the ones you think are more conservative because they know how to say slogans real well. They know how to recite the lines that they know our voters want to hear.”
He then went on to call out members of the Freedom Caucus, which includes, among others, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) among others.
“What you hear so often is not true. It’s not true. We have grifters in our midst…I mean in the conservative movement. Lie after lie after lie because they know something psychologically about the conservative heart. We’re worried about what people are doing to do to us, what people are going to infringe upon us, that’s the nature of conservatism,” he continued.
He then pivoted to praise Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who is one of two Republicans sitting on the House Select Committee investigation the events of January 6th and has fallen out of favor with former President Donald Trump, and his followers, despite — as Crenshaw notes — he voted with Trump 99 percent of the time.
