Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was heckled by a Republican Senate candidate at a recent fundraising event after he refused to say that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
“There are certain states with problems, but don’t kid yourself into believing that’s why we lost,” Crenshaw told Bobby Piton, a 2022 Senate candidate for the state of Illinois, referring to Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the 2o20 election was fraudulent. “It’s not; it’s not. I’ll tell you openly.”
Crenshaw’s refusal to validate lies pushed by the former president and his supporters prompted Piton to shout, “You’re wrong. You’re wrong!”
The Texas Republican maintained that he was not wrong, which led to Piton claiming he had “proof in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.”
An aggravated Crenshaw noted that Piton had already told him about his thoughts on the ballot review of Maricopa County, adding, “And how’d that turn out?”
Piton went on to say that the audit would flip the election results, which Crenshaw assured the crowd would not happen.
The GOP created the Frankenstein monster of Big Lie proponents and now they can’t control it. No election will ever be legitimate again if the Big Lie prevails.
No washroom in site and the exlax just kicked in
the Republican party is done, turn out the lights. the only elections that will matter from now on are the Democratic Primary elections. Thanks alot

Oh no, am I in the frame? I can’t be seen with anyone who disagrees with the former President. What will it cost to have this shot deleted? I’ll pay anything.
Yep and this (baseless claims of election fraud) is why we will always be in the minority.
It is like attending a 25th high school class reunion and hearing the used to be star quarterback still complaining the the refs cheated us out of the conference championship trophy.
