Far-Left Dem Rep Says ‘Lock Up Kyle Rittenhouse And Throw Away The Key.’ Crenshaw Fires Back.
On Wednesday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) slammed a far-left New York Democrat congressman for saying of Kyle Rittenhouse, “Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key.”
Crenshaw fired back at House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, “If this isn’t proof that the Democrat Party has largely departed from American principles of neutrally applied justice and the right of self-defense, then I don’t know what is.”

The Confederates back then never breached the Capitol as insurrectionists did on January the 6th. I’m not saying this to alarm you; I’m saying this because you should be alarmed.”

Then Jeffries implied that Republican efforts stemmed from racist reaction to the election of Barack Obama, fulminating that the GOP efforts were part of a “voter suppression epidemic,” saying, “Every time the Voting Rights Act was reauthorized and signed back into
