Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) gives an uninhibited interview claiming Ted Cruz saw him as a future primary threat and helped orchestrate his loss to Steve Toth. Crenshaw says a Cruz donor used a Super PAC "to hire little little MAGA influencers like alexbruesewitz... these losers, and just start this cottage industry of of slandering me online." "I don't know if Cruz has any friends."
Why Congressman Dan Crenshaw unloaded on Sen. Ted Cruz in interview
Crenshaw took issue with Cruz endorsing his primary challenger, Steve Toth, who won the GOP primary on March 3.
U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw is clearly no fan of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz.
"He's insecure, unlikable, unattractive and not as smart as he thinks he is," Crenshaw said in an interview on Friday. "Of course, he doesn't like a guy like me." The comments come just a day after Crenshaw used a podcast interview released on Thursday in which he talked about reasons why he lost his primary election last month. In that interview, the Houston Republican said there was a double-edged sword to his early and unusual fame in Congress. It put him on national talk shows and made him a prolific fundraiser early on. But it also made him a target of many on the right who saw him as a potential rival and a good target.
“Especially conservatives, there’s nothing they love more than to tear down their own and figure out a reason why, even if they have to make it up,” Crenshaw said on Sources Say with Juliegrace Brufke.
He said Republicans love going hunting for politicians they deem RINOs, "Republicans in name only." In his case, he said influencers on the right created a false perception that he wanted red flag laws for gun purchases and that he was getting rich of insider stock trading. Neither is true, Crenshaw said.
