Crenshaw has defamed himself over the recent years and with this. Props to Ryan for lifting the curtain and not backing down. Petty nonsense. Hope the lawyers get nothing.

I voted for him the first time he ran but he turned into a POS quickly and I've always voted against him in the primary since then. Everyone I know has done the same so I guess it's just the incumbency factor with people that don't pay attention that allow him to keep getting reelected.

I'll be voting against him, I think Steve Toth is the best challenger so far but need to research more. Seems like a situation where any R is better than him.

With the redistricting is TX2 still safe R or is there a commie threat that needs to be taken seriously for low information voters?

The one thing I dont really understand how the phrase "my boys at 6 told me" is a threat?

Then Ryan pairs it with the hot mic clip about Tucker to then further argue "boys at 6" is a threat.

Ryan ends by claiming the demand letter isnt a real threat. But the text "invoking special forces" is a threat.

Im glad to see a fraud like Crenshaw get blasted. But the underlying claims on both sides are confusing and kind of like high school mean girls nonsense.

Maybe a military vet here can explain what im missing about the "boys at 6" phrase?

What ever happened to Ryan's bid for attention with the Las Vegas cybertruck bombing?

Better to write in or leave that vote blank. Never, ever vote for any dim.

He's referring to SEAL Team 6. I don't read it as a threat. It is interesting that he says "my boys." First, he's been out of the Navy and Teams for a decade and they aren't his boys. Second, I'm almost positive he never served at 6.

I'm not sure what a dive into Dan's finances is going to do. Insider trading is legal for him, unfortunately, and any evidence of it is likely privileged.

Still, if it makes Dan look bad, I'm fine with it. He's a petty POS.

He isn't that detached from them if he's invoking their name in a familiar way, or at least that's what he would have Shawn believe.

Yeah, seems like both these combat tough guys are losing street cred with this cat fight.

1) Ryan for feeling threatened about a text, then doubling down on it.

2) Crenshaw for claiming defamation for Ryan's interpretation of the text.

Sadly, Im guessing lawyers are the only ones who win here.

never vote for socialism because it can't be voted out once established.

Steve Toth is going to try to primary RINO Lieutenant Dan next year. Toth is hard core conservative and some don't like him either, but finally Dan has a primary challenger with some local name recognition and some financial backing.

Ryan could just say, "oops I misinterpreted a text, my bad". Not like there was malice or any real damage to Crenshaw in Ryan's original comments.

So Ryan is either really scared of Crenshaw and his 6 boys, or he is concerned about a possible lawsuit and mounting a defense. No other explanation for him doubling down with this video.

I align with Dan Crenshaw on like at least 90% of political issues and think he is a solid conservative overall, and has proven that.

But goodness, I never thought a frogman would be such a sensitive titty baby who doesn't even know how to trash talk when he gets angry or upset.

If I was his political rival….

Remember, the right has moral standards, at least much more so than the left. People have already soured on Dan Crenshaw. But if it was somehow clearly revealed that he was scamming the system by profiting immensely from congressional insider trading….stick a fork in him. Lots of middle class people are struggling right now….many good people living paycheck to paycheck. They have no tolerance for this sh** anymore.

Because it's just a weird thing to say. Not all SEALs are equal. Not even close. SEAL Team 6 is the top tier. They take only the best from the other teams. It's a whole other pipeline of grueling selection and training beyond normal SEAL training. If the rest of the SEALs would be normal Army infantry, ST6 would be the Ranger battalions. They specialize in close quarter and direct action. Up to and including assassination in all but name.

It's a super weird flex to say "I know some guys" basically is how Ryan is taking it. Especially since neither served in ST6. Which after Dan's comment about killing Tucker, isn't the craziest thing to think.

I can see it. Not sure if I would go that route personally, but yeah, I can see it.

I can also see how Ryan might take that as a threat because it was so oddly specific and passive aggressively serious. After all Dan is a politician. If anyone knows how to twist words and send a message without spelling it out, it's a politician.

It doesn't matter if it was truly a threat, only that Ryan believed it to be.

Crenscrew has been the absolute worse for district 2. Yet the morons of district 2 keep voting for fake pirate boy.

Crenshaw has been known to flex on others. I recall him going after Glenn Greenwald for being a loser who has never been in a bar fight.

I think this text to Ryan was more about Crenshaw implying the real military badazzes are on his side, not Ryan's. Crenshaw took a similar jab at David Goggins, about how none of his seal buddies know him, and seals don't act like that.

If Crenshaw said, "some YNs told me" then Ryan should get scared. Broke gangbanging YNs would kill for $5K. Disciplined special ops would laugh at the idea of killing a podcaster for calling out politician insider trading.

David Goggins is not well liked. I don't like Crenshaw either, but that doesn't mean the SEAL community thanks highly of DG.

The reason is simple. DG worked really hard to avoid deployment. I admittantly can't quote examples after examples. But I have sat hours upon hours around chow time and listened to topics like this.

Shawn is hot over this! Crenshaw goes off every time anyone dares to have the temerity to question him in any way.

I'm tentatively on Shawn Ryan's side here, but I couldn't get over how many camera cuts are in his video. First thirty seconds has three or four cuts, and it's just to a different angle of him talking.

He's a petulant thin-skinned b%$*. He is also a drunk and a liar though, even getting a temporary ban recently from Codel trips over an 'incident.'

He, Don Bacon and Mark Kelly give veterans a bad name they are so terrible, but I think among the three legislators Dan is the worst. His constituents should be ashamed to have elected him again.

I don't read it as a threat. I read is as a bogus flex by Crenshaw. He is saying "some guys [in a higher tier unit than you served] have told me about what you said." As if tier 1 guys agree with Crenshaw over Shawn Ryan.

Never mind that Crenshaw himself never served on a tier 1 unit (Seal team 6/DevGru or Delta Force) himself.

The notion that DevGru guys would be on Crenshaw's side regarding legalized insider trading is hilarious.

Crenshaw seems like a cornered wounded animal, he has burned so many bridges over the past 6-7 years that a large portion of retired SEALs won't even talk about him. He did everything possible to make fair trials for SEALs Eddie Gallagher and Matt Bissonnette almost impossible and became everything in a politician he said he would not. Crenshaw wrote a book but the math ain't mathin on how he became so wealthy during his time in Congress unless he participated in some "legal" trading.

Talking to a SEAL friend a year or so ago he said Crenshaw is not respected in their community any longer. Wasn't the most respected when he was in (not abnormal being an officer trying to get to the top) but hasn't done himself any favors since.
