As for Crenshaw’s response – it’s clearly a weak and pathetic low-cost shot. Not the primary in his profession, nevertheless.

Good for @RCamposDuffy for pushing again on Rep. @DanCrenshawTX‘s ridiculous declare that individuals on the appropriate asking vital questions on Ukraine are pushing “Russian Speaking Factors.” pic.twitter.com/gASA7v2jhQ

“I believe on the Republican aspect saying they’re repeating Russian speaking factors shuts down conversations and doesn’t permit us to have a strong debate which we must be having,” she added.
Crenshaw doesn’t need that debate. Particularly after Marjorie Taylor Greene simply handed him his ass.
