In case @DanCrenshawTX pretends to forget all these COVID-19 lies, here's a thread to jog his memory.

I'm going to hold him accountable come November 3rd, and here's why.

(1/16)
On April 22, @DanCrenshawTX said @HarrisCoJudge's mask measure was “draconian” and would lead to “unjust government tyranny.” (2/16)
On May 21, @DanCrenshawTX said the public does not need to follow Judge Hidalgo’s mask orders, chastising her “immaturity” before claiming the virus “is not that bad and it never was." (3/16)
thedisruptionzone.com/2020/05/21/dz-…
On May 27, @DanCrenshawTX said “There is no guaranteed consequence with not wearing a mask…it’s not clear the mask would help.” He also questioned "the entire strategy of social distancing” & “increasing amounts of tests.” (4/16)
…thesetruthswithdancrenshaw.libsyn.com/the-man-behind…
On the same day, @DanCrenshawTX disregarded asymptomatic transmission and praised the “anecdotal evidence” for using hydroxychloroquine — which was recently revoked by the FDA for emergency COVID-19 treatment. Again, he was dangerously wrong. (5/16)
thehill.com/policy/healthc…
On June 12, @DanCrenshawTX said the virus is “not going to get transmitted...really I’m not even sure what public spaces it might get transmitted in” and “...it seems obvious that mass gatherings should be limited,” before hosting a packed event. (6/16)
…thesetruthswithdancrenshaw.libsyn.com/the-constituti…
On June 14, @DanCrenshawTX insinuated that mask-wearers were simply “virtue-signaling” rather than protecting each other, contributing to the needless partisanship that has defined what should have been common-sense public health guidance. (7/16)
…thesetruthswithdancrenshaw.libsyn.com/how-bad-scienc…
On June 20, @DanCrenshawTX hosted a packed campaign event without his mask or the "common sense" he preaches about. And on June 21, Crenshaw attended a packed, indoors meet and greet event with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, another coronavirus skeptic. (8/16)
mailchi.mp/44ee42439e5a/d…
In July, when Texas lost 5,801 lives, @DanCrenshawTX conveniently stopped mentioning the death toll metric to justify his COVID-19 disinformation. We lost more Texans in July than March, April, May, and June combined. (9/16)

dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/ad…
On July 17, a bipartisan group of 100+ Houston doctors begged Dan Crenshaw to stop spreading COVID-19 disinformation. "We implore you to stop playing politics, stop spreading dangerous disinformation, and start leading by example," the letter said. (10/16)
theintercept.com/2020/07/17/hou…
By August, the Congressman was back to headlining packed, maskless campaign fundraisers like this one in Travis County on August 21, which the article claims is under investigation by the state of Texas for violating the governor’s mask mandates. (11/16)
expressnews.com/news/politics/…
On September 1:

"@DanCrenshawTX has been...accusing Democrats and the media of exaggerating [COVID-19's] impact. He has not always worn a mask in settings where they are advised — or required under Gov. Greg Abbott's statewide mask order.” (12/16)
texastribune.org/2020/09/01/dan…
On September 10, @DanCrenshawTX defended Trump’s “very good” intentions for downplaying the COVID-19 virus that has killed over 200,000 Americans. (13/16)
On September 13, Crenshaw attempted to twist the truth on COVID-19’s enormous death toll in this interview with @KPRC2Khambrel. He claimed “if you take New York City out of the mix, we actually have some of the best performance." (14/16)
click2houston.com/news/local/202…
The same interview: @DanCrenshawTX says “it’s really only in a small area of the country, which is the northeast that we actually performed badly,” & “you look at Texas per capita death rates, we outperformed just about most other countries.”

Over 15,000 Texans are dead. (15/16)
From the beginning of COVID-19, @DanCrenshawTX has misled the people of #TX02 and compromised the safety of our families. I'm running to help our community recover stronger and better than ever, but I can't do this alone.

Give what you can today. (16/16)

Hello everyone. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It’s been the honor of my life running as the Democratic nominee for #TX02 and fighting to get @JoeBiden elected. Just 11 short months ago, we began this campaign with a belief.

[THREAD]
A belief that health care is a human right — not a privilege for the few. A belief that politicians must be held accountable to the people, and that conscience must always come before career. And a belief that, together, we can turn our American Dream into an American Reality.
We always knew this fight would be an uphill battle, but I was never scared to take on this challenge. As a woman of color, an immigrant, and a breast cancer survivor, I’ve been defying the odds my whole life.

Tonight, however, we came up short.

Deductive Reasoning:

1. Politicians who undermine basic public health measures, spread disinformation, & take no personal responsibility should be held accountable for endangering our families.

2. That's @DanCrenshawTX.

Therefore, we're going to hold him accountable. Go #VOTE.
Here's one example:
Oh, and another:

.@DanCrenshawTX was asked about me. His answer? A Trump-style train wreck. Dan claimed that the Affordable Care Act "wasn't clear" about protecting pre-existing conditions.

For someone with a podcast called "Hold These Truths," he sure can't tell one.

FACT CHECK (1/15) ImageImageImage
On November 10, the Supreme Court will hear a GOP-led lawsuit to gut the Affordable Care Act with @DanCrenshawTX's blessing. If successful, well over 1 million Texans could lose their health insurance. (2/15)
texastribune.org/2020/09/25/tex…
The ACA was enacted in 2010 to make health care more affordable & accessible for all Americans. Changes include:

✅Protecting coverage for people with PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS (*cough cough, @DanCrenshawTX*)
✅Requiring plans to cover free wellness & pregnancy exams (3/15)

Since @DanCrenshawTX is in the mood to make a fool of himself today, I figured I'd help him out.

Dan just dropped his new 'health care' ad, and *surprise, surprise* the congressman forgot about his own voting record. Good thing I kept ALL the receipts for him! 🤡

THREAD(1/23)
In the new ad, Dan makes four claims about what he’ll do.
Two of his claims — “decrease your costs with more choice and transparency” and “increase your access to doctors you trust” — were too vague for anyone to fact check.

His other two claims? Flat-out lies. (2/23)
CLAIM 1: “My plan? Hold Big Pharma accountable.”

Fact Check: FALSE

Here are four reasons why he's lying. (3/23)

A few things @DanCrenshawTX forgot to mention on his big @GOPconvention debut.

1) Dan talked about honoring heroes, but he claimed @SenDuckworth — Purple Heart recipient who lost both of her legs in combat — "stands" for the "destruction of America."
washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
2) @DanCrenshawTX talked about the frontline heroes selflessly serving us all. But he forgot to mention the bipartisan group of 100+ Houston doctors who plead with him to stop spreading dangerous disinformation about the pandemic.

Spoiler: He didn't.
theintercept.com/2020/07/17/hou…
3) @DanCrenshawTX talked about stopping chaos and protecting heroes. But he's been calling the president's @USPS slowdown a "conspiracy theory," which left tens of thousands of veterans waiting on life-saving medications.

Hey @DanCrenshawTX: While we're at it, let's fact check your "fact check."

*Cracks knuckles* (1/8)
Lie 1: Dan claims he never downplayed our hospitals being overwhelmed.

On June 11, he said “We saved our hospital systems — they weren’t even close to being overwhelmed,” and “we wrongfully thought what happened in NYC could happen across the country.”

He was wrong. (2/8)
On the same day, he claimed @HarrisCoJudge’s emergency response to skyrocketing COVID-19 cases was an “irresponsible overreaction,” calling it “pure and simple fear mongering,” and assuring Houston has “enormous hospital capacity.” (3/8)
