Crenshaw participates in first official House event since emergency eye surgery

Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw on Thursday participated in his first official House event since undergoing emergency eye surgery earlier this month.

Attending a House Commerce hearing virtually, Crenshaw said he "can't really see y'all," but hoped to be back to normal in a few months. "Good to be back with y'all. Still can't see y'all. So it'll be a few more weeks until that hopefully happens. But I'm doing well." "Look you don't need to feel bad for me," he said. "We raise our right hand and then we ask to go to war, and sometimes this is what happens. But I hope to be back to normal within a couple months. But for now, even a blind knuckle-dragger can do a hearing. So here I am, and let's get to work."
