Texas Republicans already claimed sovereignty over Georgia this week, and they might have gotten away with it if not for a pesky U.S. Supreme Court ruling. Now a Texas congressman wants to mount a one-man invasion of Georgia.
U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw released a polished 3-minute video over the weekend featuring him as a soldiering crusader who, with the help of a British-accented computer, parachutes into Georgia to battle “antifa.”
At one point, his bodyguard mispronounces U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s name. At another, he calls for Republicans to “bring everyone” to help ahead of the Jan. 5 runoffs -- right before he jumps off a plane solo.
Republicans have warned of legions of out-of-state Democrats seeking to infiltrate Georgia to help Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Now there’s splashy video evidence of a Texas congressman urging Republicans to do just that.
It wasn’t lost on many that Texas had, a few days earlier, filed a lawsuit riddled with conspiracy theories and specious claims that sought to overturn Georgia’s election results.
“For real though, Texas has done enough this week,” said state Sen. Jen Jordan, D-Sandy Springs. “You can sit tight, hoss.”
