U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw is taking heat on social media over an exchange in which he tells a young girl to not 'question his faith.'
The exchange between Crenshaw and the speaker was certainly"awkward," said Dr. Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University. Politicians should try to speak to a wide range of people in language they can understand, and"you just don't talk to an 11-year-old girl the same way you do" someone who's 40 or 70.
If the young speaker is indeed 10 or 11, her question was fairly refined, Jillson said. There's a chance that her parents helped her to dress it up a bit, although there's no way of knowing that for sure. “I know what students sound like," he said,"and the answer was not all that crafty or effective for an adult politician."
This isn’t the first time Crenshaw has caught flak from the public. In August, he was called a “RINO” after sayingWe had some questions for Crenshaw about the latest heckling, which we forwarded to his people. They didn’t respond, though, so we’re posting them here in case any of you plan to attend his next speaking engagement.the girl was referring to: “The important thing here is we have societal hero archetypes that we look up to. Jesus is a hero archetype. Superman is a hero archetype.
2. Superman is a fictional hero. By listing Superman and Jesus ahead of Ronald Reagan and Rosa Parks, your wording seems to imply that the former two are not, in fact, “real.” Can you see why someone would read it that way?4. Many have condemned the way you talked to the person asking the question. Is that how you speak to all constituents with whom you disagree, or just young girls?6.
