GOP congressman Dan Crenshaw was accosted and some of his staff were physically assaulted by far-right protesters wearing Proud Boys gear on Saturday at the Republican Party of Texas convention.
Crenshaw’s campaign manager was pushed into a pillar while others were hit with cameras. Alex Stein, a far-right activist, hurled insults at Crenshaw, calling him a “World Economic Forum sell-out” and a “fraud,” while another demonstrator called Crenshaw a “traitor” who should be “hung for treason.” The protesters also called Crenshaw “eyepatch McCain,” borrowing the term Tucker Carlson has used in likening Crenshaw’s support for sending funding to Ukraine to the late Senator John McCain’s hawkish foreign-policy views.
