Crenshaw locks horns with Fox
Dan Crenshaw was mentioned specifically in an article on Congressional insider trading corruption, and was a bit NSFW unhappy about it.
The Republican congressman’s tiff with Watters (Jesse Watters of Fox News – ed.) began on Tuesday after the host featured Crenshaw in a segment reviewing lawmakers’ stellar year trading stocks.
In the interview, Watters alleges that many Congresscritters are doing far better in the stock market than professional Wall Street traders.
Based on a report by Unusual Whales, and anti-insider trading group, Crenshaw was featured prominently. And reacted, shall we say, forcefully on Instagram.
“Hey you fucking hack, if you’re gonna accuse me of literal corruption, get your facts straight and man up and come accuse me to my face. You’re a fucking clown, desperate for clickbait,” Crenshaw wrote Tuesday night. “I literally have $10,000 invested in stocks, and haven’t made trades in over a year. I have never had more than ~20k invested while in Congress. Fox knows this but they’re desperate for fake controversy to get clicks. Watters is a tool, making millions to push conspiracies on tv, and bash veterans like me who [have] barely a fraction of his net worth. Wake up America. The political entertainment industry is almost always lying to you.”
In a separate post on his stories, Crenshaw wrote that “losers like Watters grew up with a silver spoon,” and that “for some reason, people are fooled into believing he’s some genuine blue-collar conservative. Yeah he’s such a ‘conservative’ he cheated on his wife and then left her with twins while he went off with another Fox producer.”
“And let’s be honest, Jesse Watters seems like the type of dude who pees sitting down,” Crenshaw added.
Crenshaw had an interview scheduled for Wednesday which Fox abruptly canceled.
I suspect he may not be on Watter’s Christmas card list this year, either.

Yup
I have similar views on John McCain. God bless him for his and everything else’s service in Vietnam trying to hold back the Communist monster in Southeast Asia.
That being said, I’d rather vote for someone else.
Any integrity or honor John McCain had was shaken off when he quit wearing the uniform. Once he entered politics, he became a political shill and shitbag.
FOX news?
Oh come on! There’s a’many better reason to tear apart eyepatch McCain!
Not knowing what an adult is, WEF entanglement, funding Israel, funding the failed war in Ukr
aineussia, talking down to his employers(we the People), his elitist bullshit attitude, and a lack of math skillz (meme).He’s a fucking plant.
I’d bet with that little lisp and dandy hop he’s got a little Lindsay Graham in’m too.
Note that eyepatch McCain said “he” hasn’t made a trade in over a year. That is about the when he got caught having Nancy Pelosi level investment returns. What do you want to be he learned from her and now his wife has Paul Pelosi level investment returns.
Oh really? Where did you hear that? Fox? Newsmax? Maybe you can point that out this his list of trades.
Only a single trade worth over $15,000 and he lost money on that trade. In fact he lososes about as often as he gains on his trades and he doesn’t trade much at all.

Hammer time!
I am not talking about Pelosi, I am talking about Crenshaw, nitwit.
Pelosi is corrupt.
She’s well beyond corrupt. And Crenshaw’s 2021 results equal hers. Aaaaand what can we deduce from this?
10-4 Tiny~
Heh. He’s quite right about Jesse Watters too.
“Only a single trade worth over $15,000.00 that he lost money on…”
Yeah, he lost that money after buying stock in Tesla and Rivian Automotive, after criticizing Democrats for their obsession with forcing EV’s on the American public.
Crenshaw is a liar.
Your argument has a very large plot hole in it.

When the pandemic was settling in, word on the street (Houston Chronicle, IIRC) reported he thought that would be a good time to buy stocks and not report his earnings. I’ll link the article if I can find it.
I’l just quietly point you in the direction of a link provided by Veritas Omnia Vincit below, adressing Crenshaw’s 2021 investment results;

Is the PBS link from VoV good enough for you or do I need at least 22 un attributed sources?
The only time I have ever witnessed you stick up for a republican is now? When he has been called out for bad integrity? Called out for doing what we watch democrats do daily? I trust very few politicians because of this crap right here, D or R!
I didn’t know a lot about Crenshaw, but since YOU basically call him a “good republican”, I now know all I need to know about him!
I’ll take that bet.
Sorry Danny boi, but when your insider trading result is better than Ms. Pelosi your outrage rings a little hollow.
If I go to the country club and discuss business with a competitor and then I make a trade I’ll end paying a fine and facing jail time…if these assholes do it they end up making a fortune and congratulate each other…it’s long past the time where that needs to stop or they need to let the rest of us in on the action.

The link takes you to a chart where our boi Dan is one of the most successful traders of the year during the 2021 session.
2021 was a pretty easy game to play. Even I made more than he did.
Everyone on the list I posted did better than the Standard and Poor fund that year, the $SPY was the baseline performance chart used in the graph in the link.
Congratulations on being a bit more in tune than $SPY…I suspect you had to do more research than most of the Congress Critters to do that though…
Most of them got a little help beating the trends.
And yes I understand coming out of the pandemic it was easier to make a buck if you were sharp enough to see who was making the comebacks and who wasn’t….the wife and I did okay for ourselves…
Democrats have commie-level party unity; Republicans have this RINO-vs-douche sh*t.
He is always bitching about something or another.
Just an observation.
I thought that was half of the job description?
“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.”― Harry Truman
Martha Stewart was unavailable for comment.
IIRC, Martha was not a politician.
No she wasn’t…however, she went to prison for “insider tradings” and not condoning what she did or didn’t do, I use her as an example of the “different spanks” for different ranks that we are all familiar with. The inherwebz are full of examples of politicians that became very wealthy in just a very few years, on a salary of (previously) less than $200K a year.
I don’t give a damn about rich folks that became politicians, i want to see prosecution of politicians that became rich folks. My own Kongress Kritter, Rino Asshole Scott, has done quite well for himself.
This is going to come as a big shock to you but….Things aren’t always true on the internet.
A lot of these examples are not true, they’re just held up as internet memes. For example, AOC is often held up as a millionaire, with the implication she made her money through corruption.
She isn’t even close to being a millionaire. I’m not saying she isn’t an an oxygen thief, she is, but millionaire she is not.
Shocked I tell you, I’m shocked. Not everything on the internet is true? Wow, who knew? Good thing we’ve got the smartest ass in the room to set us straight on that. It is a fact that over 1/2 of Kongress Klown Kritters ARE millionaires, some wealthy before they got there, but ALL have added to their wealth since then. And that’s not just at the fed level, local and state career politicians have been well known to add to their illicit gains thru various and sundry nefarious activities. And Martha getting busted for trading or lying? Damn, how many of the protected class has not lied to the Feds, including the Fan Belt Inspectors themselves.
Looking back thru my comment, I missed where I made mention of AOC. I guess since you are all knowing and all seeing, you see what I didn’t type.
So your argument is that successful people continue to be successful and therefore they must get their success through “sundry nefarious activities”? Would you feel better if the people we elected to Congress became poor instead? Besides, your assertion that they all become richer isn’t true.
She was busted for lying to the Feds. Such smart people sure are stupid when it comes to Constitutional rights. Sit down to a two vs. you meeting with the FBI sans legal counsel? Yeah, no.
Not on a triple dog dare. Their agents may be political hacks but their lawyers are first rate.
She made some new friends after prison time.
Few did it as well as LBJ. At the time of his death in 1973, he & Lady Bird were estimated to be worth well over $100M (Over $900M in 2023 money).
Well, at least Crenshaw conducts himself with dignity online. Is he upset because of false accusations, or because there’s some veracity to the story? I’m not a fiance guru, so here’s his page at Unusual Whales: Daniel Crenshaw’s trading history (unusualwhales.com)
Something caught my eye in the UW report that may be the source, Unusual Political Trading (unusualwhales.com):
The US Army first announced a $22B augmented reality deal with Microsoft on March 31, 2021 and reiterated its commitment to this partnership in October. Speaker Nancy Pelosi disclosed exercising 150 calls on March 19, 2021 at a strike price of $130. She’s up 160%.
Here’s her trading history: Nancy Pelosi’s trading history (unusualwhales.com)
Funny, but she bought more Microsoft stock right as operational testing of the IVAS was beginning in May 2022. I was on my way out by then but was among a group of NCOs who were placed on Directed Military Overstrength DMO orders in February 2021, so I’m fairly certain that it was insider knowledge that the $22B deal was about to be finalized. Then, in Summer 2023, she bought yet more MSFT stock, just before IVAS 1.2 began testing, and Microsoft receiving another $95M: Army awards Microsoft $95M for additional IVAS 1.2 headsets, virtual trainers | DefenseScoop.
I had a very small role in IVAS for a fairly brief period. It was one factor in my retirement, though admittedly that decision was mostly due to personal reasons and strengthened by our failure in Afghanistan. I don’t really see it being the wave of the future, though the newest version has addressed some of my concerns. But Pelosi buying 35k shares in MSFT, all just before key portions of the program, is suspicious at best.
Yeah, had anyone outside of the Beltway been as lucky as some politicians have been in playing the market, the SEC would be so far up their ass and incurring attorney fees…
Will there be a “hot coffee” mod?
Enquiring minds want to know… for a friend, of course.
You had to bring that up… 🫡
How long before some coed Infantrypeople in the 82nd get the idea to copulate in the field wearing their IVAS systems? “Oh, Cyclops, give me that energy beam…”
I never liked that democrat crenshaw, as I’ve echoed what Dan Bongino says, most republicans are really democrats while no democrats are republicans. john mcain’s father Adm. McCain had a lot of class and even carried a small pet Gator in a wood box when visiting the Amphib ships in Norfolk NOB. Got chewed out by him when leaving the Trade Winds enlisted club and not saluting his staff car when he passed by us.
