Several ‘independent’ reporters were following Rep. Dan Crenshaw today asking him questions about the speaker race and Ukraine funding.
Crenshaw clearly became annoyed with them, calling them ‘miscreants’ and told them they should get a job. Then right before they go up the stairs, Crenshaw lunges at one of them who was walking backwards and nearly trips him.
Here’s that incident by itself:
Dan Crenshaw kicked a reporter named @NoelFritsch of @nationalfile while @HowleyReporter and I were questioning him for @NationalFile about his support for the war industry. Looks like someone needs to be expelled from Congress. pic.twitter.com/Edt2zlco6G

It took me a few times but I finally saw Crenshaw intentionally lunge at the one guy with the camera phone. Of course they screamed ‘assault’ but I don’t know if they are pressing charges. Other than the attempted trip, there was no injury.
These guys were annoying and they were certainly insulting Crenshaw as well. But they don’t deserve to be tripped just because he doesn’t like them.
Watch the entire video below. It tells us a lot about Dan Crenshaw:
Check out the extended video, you can clearly see Dan Crenshaw threatening our publisher @noelfritsch as @howleyreporter and I asked him about how he is a warmonger and how Scalise does not have enough votes at this time for speaker. Clear as day! pic.twitter.com/n60ctyi9U0
