Rep. Dan Crenshaw Blasts Bernie Sanders For Treating Vets Like Victims

Rep. Dan Crenshaw is ripping Bernie Sanders for what he saw as a pandering tweet about veterans:

If you can’t afford to take care of your veterans, then don’t go to war.

Yeah… Bernie, this is pretty rich coming from someone who votes against providing the military and veterans with the funding they need every time… but what do I know?

Take it from Dan:

Watching Bernie pander to different groups to get their vote has always disgusted me, but now it’s personal.

I didn’t go to war so that you would take care of me, Bernie. I went because I wanted to serve and our country needed it. https://t.co/ADhxrvtIA9

Rep. Crenshaw then appeared on ‘Fox and Friends’ to explain why exactly he finds this so frustrating.

According to Fox News:

Crenshaw said he always “disliked” politicians that pander to veterans by vowing to take care of them. He noted that members of the military want to serve in the “best interest of their country” and do not think about being taken care of by others.

Crenshaw, who lost his right eye in an explosion in Afghanistan, said that “of course, we need to take care of veterans,” but pushed back on the notion that politicians can “fix all of our problems.”

“That’s just not true, it also gets to a really false choice which is why we went to war in the first place,” Crenshaw said.

“I went there because our country needed it. We went there because it was in the best interest of our country. I wasn’t thinking down the road of being taken care of.”

Have I mentioned I love this man? Because I do.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again: Crenshaw 2024, y’all.
