Dan Crenshaw and Newly Elected GOP Rep Spar in Tense Exchange
Rep. Dan Crenshaw, fresh off winning his first reelection campaign, ripped on newly-elected GOP colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia Friday after she blasted him over a tweet in which he called for acceptance of a loss by President Donald Trump.
“If Trump loses, he loses. It was never an impossible outcome and we must accept the final results when it is over,” the Texas Republican and former Navy SEAL officer who lost an eye during a combat tour in Afghanistan. . .
It should not be partisan to suggest calmly that investigations occur and the court process plays out.
Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.

About an hour later, Greene responded to claim that Crenshaw was adopting a “loser mentality.” . . .
The time to STAND UP for @realDonaldTrump is RIGHT NOW!
Republicans can’t back down.
This loser mindset is how the Democrats win.
President Trump has fought for us, we have to fight for him.
We won’t forget. Trust me. https://t.co/rN83otNxZd

“Did you even read past the first sentence? Or are you just purposely lying so you can talk tough? No one said give up,” Crenshaw wrote.
“I literally said investigate every irregularity and use the courts. You’re a member of Congress now, Marjorie. Start acting like one,” the combat vet added.
I read every word.
Why are you “leading” with losing?
Our Republican base is sick and tired of weakness coming from Congress.
I’m doing exactly what the people of NW Georgia elected me to do.
Fight.
I hope you’ll join me. https://t.co/o7W6sL6G40
