Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, poked fun at journalists gathered for the Washington Press Club Foundation’s 75th annual congressional dinner Wednesday.
“I was a little nervous trying to prepare for this, because they said, ‘Yeah, come make fun of Democrats, it will be fine,’ so I wasn’t sure, should I, like, start ripping on Democrats or should I rip on the press, and then I was like, ‘Eh, they’re kind of the same thing,’” Crenshaw said to laughter during his stand-up routine.
Crenshaw, 35, pointed out that though many of those in attendance didn’t care for President Trump, they should “love him” because of the news content Trump generates. He drew comparisons to John Delaney, a former member of the House from Maryland who is running for the Democratic nomination for president.
