>Dan Crenshaw, often referred to by his critics as “Eye Patch McCain,” is facing a social media firestorm after a heated exchange with popular conservative commentator Catturd on X. >The skirmish follows accusations that Crenshaw has been lobbying for congressional pay raises, drawing ire from grassroots conservatives and internet heavyweights alike. >It all started after conservative journalist Nick Sortor accused Crenshaw of being the “mastermind” behind a push for increased pay for members of Congress. >Sortor’s post read: >>“DC sources tell me that Dan Crenshaw is spearheading the effort to get a pay raise for Congress. >>Last week when he was asked about his stock trading, Crenshaw whined that members of Congress haven’t had a pay raise since 2009. >>Crenshaw ALMOST got his way, with a pay increase for members + benefits being included in today’s massive spending boondoggle. >>Recently, Crenshaw even said “you have no way to better yourself as a Congressman” without being able to trade stocks. That’s INSANE. >>THIS GUY is responsible for LOADS of the garbage we see being thrown into spending bills. All for his own benefit. >>Time for Eye Patch McCain to go.” >The controversy caught the attention of Elon Musk, who chimed in with a jab at Congress: “Congress should only get a raise when the budget is balanced.” >Rather than address the accusations with decorum, Crenshaw fired back at Sortor with a profanity-laden tirade, calling Sortor a “f-king lying piece of sh-t” and “f-king incels.” >“Yeah or maybe you’re a f-king lying piece of sh-t because I’m not even on the YES list for the whip team. Never have been. But hey, whatever gets you pathetic bottom feeders your click bait. F-king incels,” Crenshaw wrote. >>Enter Catturd, the online conservative voice who has previously rattled politicians like Adam Kinzinger. Catturd wasted no time: . .
