Dan Crenshaw Gets Challenged At GOP Fundraiser For Saying 2020 Election Wasn’t Stolen

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) was scolded by a conservative Senate candidate at a GOP fundraiser in Illinois on Wednesday evening for dismissing the idea that former President Trump’s 2020 election was stolen.

One guest at the Rosemont, Illinois, event asked Crenshaw whether he believed the 2020 election was stolen.

“There’s certain cities with problems, but don’t kid yourself into believing that’s why we lost. It’s not. It’s not,” Crenshaw said.

“You’re wrong.” shouted Bobby Piton, a Republican Senate candidate in Illinois who has said that Trump will be reinstated to the office this year.

“I’ll tell you openly. I’ll tell you, and I’m not wrong,” Crenshaw pushed back.

“Yes you are. I have plenty of proof. I have proof in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia,” Piton responded, citing the audit of ballots cast in Maricopa County, Ariz. “And guess what, it’s going to turn out and it’s gonna flip. You watch. You’re gonna see firsthand.”

“It won’t. It won’t,” Crenshaw replied dismissively. “And you’ve gotta flip all five states.”

Crenshaw went on to say that Republicans should not believe conspiracy theories that Trump’s reelection was tarnished by widespread voter fraud.

“This is something you gotta accept. Is there a lot of voter fraud? Yeah, there probably is. Enough that Trump won? No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Five different states? Hundreds of thousands of votes? You’re kidding yourself,” Crenshaw said.

Unlike many other House Republicans, Crenshaw voted on the night of the Jan. 6 in to certify Biden’s election win.

However, Crenshaw signed on to a lawsuit filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in an effort to overturn the election results in four swing states that Biden won – Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Paxton’s case was eventually dismissed by the Supreme Court, which said that “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.”

After the discussion, Piton labeled Crenshaw “sanctimonious,” “cocky” and “intellectually dishonest” in a Facebook post. “Liberty LOVING PATRIOTS in Texas need to find someone to jump in and PRIMARY CRENSHAW!” he said.

“It is disgusting to hear denials from a sitting do-nothing and intellectually dishonest Congressman in our House of Representatives. Crenshaw has done nothing but shill for the democrats and refuse to even see or hear the evidence of fraud,” Piton wrote.
