Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw lost his cool after repeated badgering by Alex Stein, calling the viral comedian “disgusting” and “a piece of s***.”
Stein confronted Crenshaw at the Republican Party of Texas convention when things quickly started getting heated.
The Texas congressman initially ignored Stein, even in the face of accusations that he lost his eye looking “for weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist.”
Crenshaw was injured while on his third deployment as a Navy SEAL in Afghanistan by an IED.
Stein began hammering the lawmaker with personal insults about his stature, for supporting endless money for Ukraine while our own border is wide open, and for being a “globalist.”
“Dan, you’re just such a little loser,” Stein declared. “Navy SEAL … I’m so much bigger than you. You’re just a little sad little boy.”

Alex Stein Hammers Dan Crenshaw
While his comments about Dan Crenshaw’s service and injury are probably unwise, Alex Stein then pivoted to legitimate criticisms like putting Ukraine’s needs ahead of those of Americans.
Crenshaw then sought cover with a group of veterans outside the convention by pointing to Stein and saying, “This is the guy who tells veterans their service is wasted.”
The comedian responded that he is unapologetically anti-war.
“He cares more about Ukraine,” accused Stein.
Imagine being a grown man and acting this way. Imagine your whole life is about begging twitter trolls for clicks. This piece of garbage insults every veteran that served in Iraq, and worse, insults the memories of those we lost. (Lost my eye in Afghanistan, btw, not Iraq. Moron) https://t.co/9smoobyviG

“You’re looking like a fool right now,” Crenshaw fired back. “You’re disgusting.”
As the Republican Representative headed toward the entrance, Stein continued to pepper him with insults about being a “dwarf” and a “traitor.”
Crenshaw angrily replied, “You’re a piece of sh**.”
The video ends with Stein being stopped and asked for identification by Capitol Police, who claim witnesses accused him of “physically stopping” lawmakers from tending to their duties.
While Stein does get close to Crenshaw in the video, he at no point obstructs his ability to proceed to his destination. It’s unclear who reported the incident.

Stein’s Other Hits
Dan Crenshaw has been the target of America First conservatives for some time, peaking with his vote to provide $40 billion in aid to Ukraine while Americans are struggling financially.
“How does that help Americans? How does any of this help?” wondered Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).
Crenshaw, rather than argue his position on the merits, pulled from the Democrat playbook and accused Greene essentially of being a mouthpiece for Russia.
“Still going after that slot on Russia Today huh?” he shot back.
Sanctions aren’t stopping anything, but they are driving inflation and fuel prices.
I refuse to vote for useless measures that cause problems but solve none.
While you send $40 billion for your proxy war against Russia, I’m focused on baby formula for American babies. https://t.co/dJLNoECjaB

Stein’s tactics are at times obnoxious but, save for the comments about military service, are almost always entertaining.
He explained his approach to comedy in an interview with The Political Insider’s Brett Smith recently:
Not long ago he was targeting ‘Never Trump’ Republican Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and letting him know he’s a “scumbag” and “political douchebag.”

Perhaps his most viral moment came when he harassed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and called her his “favorite big-booty Latina.”
Stein noted how Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wants to “kill babies” but she’s “still beautiful.”
AOC flashed him the peace sign during the clip and stated on social media later that she “was actually walking over to deck him.”

And here’s Stein absolutely eviscerating Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) over his alleged sexual relationship with a Chinese spy.
“Remember when you slept with that Chinese spy? Why don’t you ever talk about Fang Fang? Remember you’re banging Fang Fang,” the comedian kept hammering away.

The Washington Examiner asked Alex Stein about his approach when it comes to making videos like that involving Dan Crenshaw.
“I’m just exposing Dan Crenshaw for being a neocon that is sending young people to die for wars that only benefit bankers, and I don’t care if people take offense to what I do,” Stein said.
“It’s meant to be offensive sometimes.”
