This week, Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw was on the All American Savage Show discussing Congress and their ability to trade individual stocks even though they may have inside information on which stocks will be doing well (also known as insider trading).
Crenshaw said, “I think it’d be fine if you wanted to ban individual stock trading…Notice I said ‘individual,’…as opposed to ETF’s [exchange-traded funds]…I’m kinda neutral on it.”

While Crenshaw may have said he’s neutral on the subject, the phrasing of his next comments say otherwise.
“If you want only billionaires…to run for Congress…then keep making sure that we can’t raise our pay,” he continued, “that we can’t get a housing stipend, that we have to…pay rent in two different places. That’s fine, if that’s what you want to support, but just keep in mind that no one will run for Congress because you have no way to better yourself.”

As Lauren Witzke said on social media, “The American Government was designed for ordinary Americans to run and hold office. It’s a blatant lie that you have to reap additional financial benefits or be a millionaire to hold public office. What a cancer Crenshaw is.”

Time to give up politics Dan. Go home and enjoy retirement. This business is not for you. You’re a smart guy who would better served operating outside the DC madness. We love our vets.
Since when do we send congressmen and women to congress so they can better themselves. What an arrogant, elitist comment. He needs to be voted out of office when he is up for re-election.
That guy has become a big disappointment. Sheesh.
Someone with a decent IQ tell this moron, Crenshaw, that people to go Congress to represent their districts, not to make themselves rich off of insider trading. This clown needs a good kick in the ass out the door. With his glass eye, the clown only wears the eye patch for sympathy. Crenshaw is a piece of work.
Zioclops gotta go
At least Judas had the good taste to hang himself in embarrassment and depression for the horrible sin he committed.
Dan’s corruption is now complete.
Arrogant, snide attitude on several topics should get him knocked out of office. He’s more of a Democrat than Republican.
I just can’t believe how this Adam Kinzinger protege ever got elected in the first place. This POS needs to go.
Using Dan Crenshaw reasoning, I guess bank robbers and people who kidnap for ransom are just trying to better themselves
Another worthless anti-free speech website, just get you to sign up give them your email address and then censor whatever you had to say that they don’t like
Crenshaw is a perfect example of why you shouldn’t accept “I’m a wounded war hero” as bonifies to be elected to any office. Guys a charlatan.
Bahhh…Crenshaw you are just embarrassing yourself. What happened? I thought you were a stand up guy but you’re sinking into the swamp. And you’re from Texas; stop acting like a swamp creature.
Oh Danny your little eye patch “I’m a wounded warrior” is so cute, you know they have prosthetics now
That one eyed their is no different than the Dems.
I don’t trust Cranshaw even one little bit. As for his ”eye patch”, we have veterans who have lost so much more than he and they don’t use their injury(s) as a sympathy ploy!! When and why did he become a turncoat??
