Mediaite reports:
Rep. Dan Crenshaw and his staff were violently confronted at the Republican Party of Texas convention a short time ago, when far-right social media activist Alex Stein and others whom witnesses described as Proud Boys began shouting “eyepatch McCain” at him – an attempted insult coined by Tucker Carlson. A witness to the incident tells Mediaite that in addition to Stein and others being escorted out of the building, “some arrests” were made at the scene.

Dan Crenshaw and Mike Pence have had to learn the hard way that fascism cannot be bottled and used without it blowing up in your face. Both have now faced threats from violent assailants to hang them.
Confrontations like this will become a regular feature of Republican politics. pic.twitter.com/qz7FgfeNbP
