Dan Crenshaw is a Congressman from Texas and a former Navy SEAL where he lost an eye to an IED. He is more cosmopolitan than most of his fellow representatives having lived in Scotland, Ecuador, and Colombia and graduating from Tufts and Harvard universities. He is publicly critical of the House Freedom Caucus. But when a woman alleged she had been assaulted at the VA, he assisted Robert Wilkie in a campaign to discredit and disparage her, alleging she had a history of false complaints. Then he refused to cooperate with the investigation, hindering the investigation by refusing to be interviewed by the Inspector General.
