Speaking to reporters, Crenshaw unloaded on the 20 Republicans, saying, "I’m tired of your stupid platitudes that some consultant told you to say on the campaign trail, alright."
"Behind closed doors tell us what you actually want, or shut the f**** up," he said. "They need to be men and adults and say what they want, instead of playing these little games, that’s what we’re asking."
"That’s what I’ve asked them. Some of them are my friends. Stop saying platitudes like, ’Washington is broken. We can’t do the status quo,’" he continued. "They want to pull the pins on the grenades and lock the doors."
