'Enjoy unemployment!' MAGA piles on Texas Republican after he loses primary race
Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement celebrated on Tuesday after a Texas Republican lost his primary race.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) lost his primary race to state Rep. Steve Toth by a double-digit margin on Tuesday. Toth was supported by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the Trump-aligned Turning Point Action, according to The Texas Tribune. Trump had refused to endorse Crenshaw's re-election after the lawmaker failed to go along with Trump's lie that he won the 2020 general election.
Crenshaw is the only House Republican that Trump has not endorsed for re-election, The Tribune reported.
MAGA figures celebrated Crenshaw's loss on social media.
"Crenshaw has been in a NON-STOP spiral in the past year, threatening to KlLL Tucker Carlson, and even being banned from Congressional trips for a period due to allegedly drunkenly harassing foreign counterparts," MAGA pundit Nick Sortor posted on X. "Enjoy unemployment, Crenshaw!"
"Down goes eyepatch McCain," posted Phillip Buchanan, also known as Catturd on X. "Every RINO in Congress should lose their seat like this. Congratulations."
"Eyepatch McCain is gone!!!" political commentary account WallStreetMav posted on X. "Great victory tonight."
"Yup, this is a big one," right-wing political account End Wokeness posted on X.
"It's a good day," Taylor Rhodes, spokesman for the National Association for Gun Rights, posted on X.
