Texas Republican Representative Dan Crenshaw was handily dispatched by primary challenger Steve Toth less than two weeks ago. Crenshaw suffered a surprising and embarrassing double-digit defeat. Crenshaw is not accepting the loss well. On Sunday, he ran to Margaret Brennan on CBS News to blame his thrashing on ‘misinformation.’

The fact that he blamed his loss on disinformation is exactly the sort of thing that lost him the primary election.

Maybe Crenshaw should look inward for why he’ll be leaving Congress at the end of his term.
One of his constituents says it’s no big mystery why Republican voters chose the other guy.
Since I'm in what would be his district, I'm happy to explain it to him.
From talking to people, they used to like him, but don't anymore. I personally think it has far more to do with his behavior and controversies than it does his voting record.
He's now the meme of the guy putting something in the bicycle spoke and then crying, "Why did you do this to me?"

And this is why he'll no longer be in Congress. He didn't listen; didn't comprehend. And ignored his constituents. pic.twitter.com/32slKVIlNt

Sums it up.
Republicans just aren't that into you, Dan.
Posters say some self-reflection on Crenshaw’s part would make things clear, but that’s unlikely to happen.
Or maybe he just sucks and should take accountability for the aforementioned suckage? Just a thought.

Most notably, zero self-reflection or acknowledgement from Crenshaw that voters grew tired of him and his antics, and wanted a change.

Great sign of an ego out of control is the inability to self reflect.

We get the impression Crenshaw thought he would defeat Hoth easily. He’s still in shock that his rejection by voters was so complete.
Posters say Crenshaw lost because MAGA voters have no tolerance for someone who they perceive to be a clone of the late Senator John McCain.

No Dan. We just don’t like you.

Oh Danny boy @DanCrenshawTX it wasn’t misinformation. Conservatives can see through misinformation. We’ve had to filter through it for well over a decade now. It was all you. You are the reason you lost.

The answer is a mirror’s length away. It’s time for a genuine moment of reflection, Dan. You didn't lose because of misinformation.
