RINO Dan Crenshaw Loses Homeland Security Chair Vote

Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas just lost the House Steering Committee chairman election to Republican Mike Green of Tennessee.

The position was previously held by former Rep. John Katko (N.Y.) who recently retired from Congress.

Crenshaw’s loss comes just a few days after he called Matt Gaetz and other Republicans who refused to vote for McCarthy, terrorists.

The Hill shared these details:

Here’s who the Steering Committee picked for contested chairmanships.

Green beat out Rep. Dan Crenshaw (Texas) to fill a vacancy created by former Rep. John Katko (N.Y.) retiring from Congress.

Green told reporters that he plans to have two full-time committee staffers working from the U.S.-Mexico border.

The staffers will ”be sitting there with [Customs and Border Protection],” Green said, “sending us real time updates on what CBP needs and the issues – whether it’s a big drug bust at the border, we’ll send a bunch of members down for, you know, for that and those kinds of things.”

Mark Green is set to be the next chair of the House Homeland Security committee, selected by House GOP steering committee over Dan Crenshaw.

He says there will be permanent committee staff at the border.

The Daily Mail added these details:

In what could be a sign of conservatives’ newly-expanded influence over the House GOP, House Freedom Caucus member Rep. Mark Green won the top spot on the Homeland Security Committee over Republican star Rep. Dan Crenshaw.

Green was chosen by the House Republican Steering Committee to chair the panel, which has oversight capabilities over the Homeland Security Department including the southwestern border.

Both he and Crenshaw – each a supporter of new House Speaker Kevin McCarthy – had signaled they would take a hardline approach to the migrant crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico.
