Rep. Dan Crenshaw denied Homeland Security Committee chair after calling House Republicans critical of McCarthy ‘terrorists’

t

exas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) was denied the gavel on a key committee he had long hoped to lead. The House Homeland Security Committee will instead be led by a member of the House Republican group Crenshaw branded as “enemies.”

Crenshaw rebuked Republican members of the House Freedom Caucus last week, rhetorically condemning some as “enemies” for having leveraged their House speaker votes in exchange for concessions over how Congress would be run.

He told Fox News Radio host Guy Benson, “We cannot let the terrorists win,” referring to the 20 members of the Freedom Caucus who initially resisted voting for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

Crenshaw also told Benson that the “terrorists” wanted “more places on committees.”
