Fox News host Tucker Carlson labels RINO Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas with a new moniker: “Eye Patch McCain.”
In familiar McCain fashion the congressman sided with democrats and voted to approve an additional $40 billion in aid to bankroll the war in Ukraine.
This from westernjournal.com.
Carlson made the dig on his show Monday during an interview with former [democrat] presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, who has accused the Biden [regime] of using the Ukraine conflict to wage a proxy war on Russia.
The comparison to former Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain—who often angered conservatives by siding with their opponents—came as the Fox News host called out Crenshaw for appearing to prioritize financing a foreign war while downplaying the nationwide baby formula shortage roiling the United States.
The more I think about it, it takes a lot of gall for Eye Patch McCain to attack moms who are worried about baby formula as, quote, pro-Russia.
That is probably one of the most outrageous things I have ever heard, now that I’m thinking about it.
Why is Congress so focused on Ukraine but you can’t find baby formula? You can’t even fill your truck because things in our economy are declining really rapidly?
‘Don’t ask questions,’ according to Congressman Dan Crenshaw of Texas. Asking questions like that—really any questions at all—thinking you’re a citizen, makes you ‘pro-Russia.’
On Monday, Crenshaw ignited a volcanic backlash among some conservatives for his comments about those who oppose financing the ongoing war in Ukraine.
During an interview with Fox News host Trey Gowdy, the Texas congressman said:
The bad arguments that our side is making is very depressing, and they’re almost pro-Russia in their tone.
Crenshaw insisted that giving away tens of billions of U.S. tax dollars to fight Russia should be a top national priority.
Crenshaw continued:
It is not America first when you let Russia and China do whatever they want around the world and establish their version of a global order.
That puts America last because we cannot prosper in a global order led by Russia and China.
Predictably, [democrats] and their corporate media lapdogs attacked Carlson over his “Eye Patch McCain” jab, claiming the Fox News host was mocking Crenshaw’s disability.
Insensitive, perhaps. But certainly not inappropriate. And par for the course.
The congressman lost his right eye in an explosion while serving in Afghanistan—hence the eye patch—but he’s now in the U.S. Congress. Big Boy pants are a must at all times.
And the democrat whining response is fully hypocritical and simply disingenuous to suggest that Carlson was ridiculing the congressman’s injury.
As it is, the “Eye Patch McCain” meme has been all over social media for more than a year, with little manufactured liberal outrage.

The ghost of John McCain lives on in @RepDanCrenshaw. You haven't even been in office for a year, yet you've already sold out to the gun grabbers. What part of 'shall not be infringed' is too hard to understand? https://t.co/cWJOzeznIF

While it might be ideal if politics didn’t devolve into childish name-calling, that’s just not the reality of today’s toxic public discourse.
And what about the vindictive democrats and their media allies who’ve spent the past six years viciously mocking President Trump’s skin color, weight, and hair, among other things?
So, pay no attention to the democrat and mass propaganda media fake outrage.
Instead, enjoy the clearly appropriate and increasingly popular moniker of RINO Crenshaw: Eye Patch McCain.
