'Dan's disinformation jeopardized our way of life,' says Crenshaw opponent Sima Ladjevardian
While positive COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Texas, GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw has been a strong advocate for wearing no masks, all while hosting no-mask in-person events in the state.
Meanwhile, Texas is reporting 1 of 7 coronavirus cases nationally over the past week, a new grim milestone regarding the pandemic.
In accordance with party lines, Crenshaw has continuously given factually wrong takes regarding the coronavirus on social media and Fox News. In early March, Crenshaw claimed that masks do not help to prevent the virus, and even called Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s mask order “way over the top and draconian” and leading to “unjust government tyranny. But Gov. Greg Abbott issued a similar statewide mask order on July 2, and Crenshaw now believes it is a “targeted measure” and “the governor makes a good case for it.”
Then on June 12 Crenshaw said the virus is “not going to get transmitted” and that “it seems obvious that mass gatherings should be limited.” But a week later, he attended multiple maskless meet-and-greet events in Houston, including a packed-house event with Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
