Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-T.X., may have just put himself in between Republican crosshairs.
At a recent fundraising event, he made some comments about former President Donald Trump and the 2020 election.
And he was promptly heckled and jeered.
Crenshaw said that the election wasn’t stolen.
“Don’t kid yourself into believing that’s why we lost,” he said. “It’s not. It’s not, I’ll tell you openly.”
A person of the crowd filming can be heard responding, “You’re wrong!”
He goes back and forth with Crenshaw.
“I’m not wrong,” Crenshaw replies.
The two then exchange words about the election before Crenshaw ultimately says “5 different states? Hundreds of thousands of votes? You’re kidding yourself,” before refusing to go on any longer.

Pundits predict that because of the public break from Trump and his supporters, Crenshaw may have just put a major target on his back.
It’s no secret that Trump has made it his goal to be the defacto “kingmaker” in the Republican Party.
Hot Air noted that the turn in direction for Crenshaw is noteworthy, given he joined a Texas election lawsuit that attempted to toss voter results in the swing states Biden was given.
Now, it seems he’s singing a different tune.
Time will tell whether or not he will be punished at the polls for his bold flip.
The video comes on the heels of what conservative critics say has been mixed results in regard to the 2020 election fraud claims.
Supporters remain frustrated after a series of court losses — so much so that even Trump supporter Steve Bannon recently vented his frustrations about the lack of proof provided at MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s recent cyber symposium.
Lindell claimed he would provide evidence that would cause the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the 2020 election, and said he would provide $5 million to any expert that could disprove his claims. He withdrew the offer $5 million offer on Thursday.
