Dan Crenshaw: Some just want to be in Congress to be social media influencers
Fox News
Republican Texas congressman Dan Crenshaw reflects on why he got into politics, comedian Pete Davidson's feud with him and more on 'The Trey Gowdy Podcast.'
You know, I think some people like the glitz and the glamour, and like, sort of people calling them "congressmen." I personally don't find that very appealing. I think there's a lot more downsides to it. People are jerks; smeared and lied about every single day. America is in a very angry state right now. People who watch politics a lot – you know, are activists – or people are pissed off and are looking for fights, and it's unhealthy. And I'm not sure I see the benefits in that. The only benefit I see is that I can impact things that are important to the country. And I just have to remind myself that there's a lot of people who aren't that angry, that are just trying to live their lives, and that's who are serving.
TREY GOWDY: Yeah, boy, you raised a lot there. You typically do not hear from the people that are not angry. I guess that's just human nature, the ones that are the angriest. And I used to never hear the word "fight." I never heard it in the courtroom, no matter whether we were doing a death penalty case or a child sex assault. The word "fight" is used more in the political context than almost any other context. And I don't know what they mean by that. I mean, fight with whom and about what? Because I wrote a book on persuasion. I mean, if you want to carry the day, persuade people. I mean, fighting just probably leaves both of you injured.
