Crenshaw says 'facts aren't changing,' calls on Republicans to 'reset' as Jim Jordan fails in speaker votes

Interview

Date: Oct. 20, 2023

"It's not going to get better. So you played some comments downplaying the threats against these members. "Oh, everybody gets threats." Nobody's been a target of crazy online backlash like me. And I'm like clickbait for people. I should get a T-shirt that says "clickbait." This stuff is different. What I'm seeing against these members and their families and the things being said by right-wingers, that's different. And this is the problem. I've said this a week and a half ago, that if Jim Jordan's allies went down this path, he wouldn't become speaker. They would entrench opposition. That's exactly what's happened. So they're not moving. That's the facts as they are right now. I'm going to vote for Jim Jordan on this third round because I'm a stickler for process. He won the majority. I'm going to vote for him as long as he's running. But the facts aren't changing. People should understand, the facts aren't changing. Trying to push us into the weekend and force votes and this sort of this kind of fake nobility of getting the job done, that's not going to work and it's going to backfire."
