Dan Crenshaw Calls Out People Using NZ Shooting To take ‘Swipes at Conservatives’: ‘No Shame,’ ‘You Are Part of the Problem’

Date:  March 17, 2019

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) posted a tweet on Friday calling out those who were taking “swipes at conservatives” for the New Zealand shooting.

“If you find yourself using the tragedy in New Zealand to take backhanded swipes at conservatives in America – many of my colleagues already have – then you really have no shame and you are part of the problem,” Crenshaw wrote. “It should be easy for us to stand united and condemn terrorism.”

Crenshaw made reference to fellow lawmakers who have used the NZ tragedy to make negative comments about conservatives. He did not reference anyone specifically.

However, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) exploited the event and tweeted out a jab, commonly heard among radical leftists, against “thoughts and prayers.”

Omar faced an immediate backlash from the right due to her bigoted remark against Christian gun owners.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) joined Crenshaw and voiced his concern about accusations that the shooter was inspired by President Donald Trump promoting white supremacy. Which of course The Preident doesn’t, and he has condemned it many, many times in public.

Kinzinger said, “I think God needs to change people’s hearts, and I bet he does. He needs to change their language. You cannot put this on President Trump.”

Crenshaw quickly posted about the attacks after the shooting and said that he was praying for the victims and the families who were impacted by the shooting.

The New Zealand attack left 49 people dead, scores wounded and a nation trying to come to grips with the worst mass killing in New Zealand history.
