We reported yesterday how Republicans like House Reps. Dan Crenshaw (TX), outgoing “lame duck” House Rep. Denver Riggleman (VA), failed House Candidate Nick Frietas (VA), who is a state delegate, and others have often tried to play both sides, supporting President Trump when they needed him, bashing him when they didn’t.
Today, after winning re-election himself on Tuesday, Crenshaw did just that, tweeting out about the presidential election that, “If Trump loses, he loses. It was never an impossible outcome and we must accept the final results when it is over.”
“But the unfortunate reality is that there is very little trust in the process, where irregularities have been flagrant and transparency lacking. It should not be partisan to suggest calmly that investigations occur and the court process plays out,” he continued.
Crenshaw said he believed that “Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.”

Americans need to be sure of the winner and loser. The winners should especially want that.
Former Congressional candidate Pete D’Abrosca chided Crenshaw on the way he addressed the president and said, “That’s President Trump to you.”
That’s President Trump to you.

Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA) was furious at Crenshaw for the less than supportive tweet and responded, “The time to STAND UP for President Trump 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,” she insisted.
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
Clearly reeling after the responses, Crenshaw fired back at Greene and asked, “Did you even read past the first sentence? Or are you just purposely lying so you can talk tough?”
Crenshaw then attempted to clarify what he said as he continued, “No one said give up. I literally said investigate every irregularity and use the courts.”
“You’re a member of Congress now, Marjorie. Start acting like one,” Crenshaw said, while attempting to lecture her on he believes she should behave in her new position.

Greene then responded to Crenshaw by telling her how she planned to govern as she said, “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.”
I read every word.
