Trump Supporters Turn Against Dan Crenshaw After He Admits Trump Lost To Biden

During a campaign event for a Republican candidate in Illinois, Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw made the mistake of saying that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, then repeatedly dismissed the actual candidate who insisted there was evidence to prove otherwise. The crowd also began to heckle and jeer at Crenshaw - an ironic turn seeing as how Crenshaw was finally being honest. Farron Cousins explains why things like this continue to happen to Republicans who accidentally tell the truth.

Last week Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw traveled to Illinois to support a Republican candidate for us Senate, man, by the name of Bobby piton and while Crenshaw, who represents one of the most disgustingly gerrymandered districts in the country, uh, while he's up on stage, he actually mentions that Donald Trump lost the election in 2020 to Joe Biden, a legitimate loss, the election was not stolen. It was a real actual loss from Donald Trump and oh man, did the crowd go wild, but not in the way that Crenshaw wanted. In fact, piton the candidate. He was there supporting and giving a speech for, tried to jump in and interject and interrupt him. Now, here's what happening. You're wrong. Piton said repeatedly talking over Crenshaw, you watch, you're going to see firsthand. And this is from Washington post. I'm not wrong. The congressmen responded five different states, hundreds of thousands of votes. You're kidding yourself, but no piton continued to kill himself. And of course the crowd erupted in booze. Gere's heckles people calling Crenshaw a rhino saying that he now, because he admitted this one thing, one dime now is no longer welcome in the Republican party. It could not have gone worse for poor little Danny Crenshaw at that, uh, event last week. The problem is, and Crenshaw now realizes this. I'm assuming, at least in private, he realizes this, the Republican party created a monster.

This really is

The Frankenstein monster scenario. When you have members of your party, including Donald Trump out there pushing these false claims that the election was stolen for months and months and months and months, and you don't push back on it immediately and stomp it out, then you've allowed the monster to grow. You've allowed the monster to become more powerful. And this is what happens. The monster turns against you. When you come out and say, I am not going to cater to you anymore, monster, I'm going to tell you that that you're wrong for being a monster and this the monster off. And that is exactly what happened at Crenshaw. But folks, this is what the Republican party has become. It's a party that not only is living in this alternative reality, but they're happy. They're like, that's the worst part. They're, they're happier in their alternative reality and their alternative reality. Donald Trump is going to be reinstated as president any day. Now, even though of course, we already blew past that, uh, August 13th date. They still think it's going to happen. Mike Lindell, even though his cyber symposium was a complete joke, still thinks it's going to happen. He came out and said, God is on my side. And that's how I know I'm going to win.

These people

Are intentionally diluting themselves because it makes them feel better. They're happier in their alternative reality. And that is dangerous for the United States of America.

Because instead of having

Elected officials who are going to go out and correct the record, what we're going to see instead, especially when backlash like this happens to a staunch conservative, like Dan Crenshaw is these people are now going to come out the candidates and have to say, oh no, I totally agree. The election was stolen. It was a farce. We need investigations. And eventually it's not just going to be a talking point. They use to dupe the voters. You're going to end up with candidates who legitimately believe that they're going to start electing their own to spread more and more of this alternative reality across the United States until this country is no longer even recognizable. We're already headed down that path. Folks,

The question

Is, does Crenshaw continue? Does he continue telling people the election was not stolen, which is an accurate statement that he made Crenshaw was telling the truth. And he got punished for it. Same with Liz Cheney. Same with Adam Kinzinger. If a Republican dare comes out and tells these people, your living in a fake reality, they get punished for it. So does Crenshaw have the fortitude
