Turning Point USA and Rep Dan Crenshaw responded to the "Groyper War" by not live-streaming their events, allegedly "rigging" their Q&A sessions and screaming "antisemitism" at everyone who asked hard questions.

My source who attended the event said that all of our guys were first in line, back-to-back, a dozen of them but that YAF booted them to the back of the line. Excellent job to the Groypers who lined up and to the ~3 (?) who were able to ask Q’s— we will adapt, they are afraid!

Conservatism, Inc's grift operation cannot sustain any sort of hard questioning.

Imagine being a Trump supporter being removed from a Q&A for telling your republican representative to answer a question. pic.twitter.com/H7ne6EWPBF

I've obtained exclusive footage of Congressman Dan Crenshaw's Q&A at UT Austin, courtesy of Marty ScorchedEarthse#6788 on discord. Groyper barely asks a question before the mic is taken away! Unbelievable. @NickJFuentes pic.twitter.com/Ao8BAExMzm

Antifa helped TPUSA out by doxing Fuentes:

“This article would not have been possible without assistance from TPUSA members”

That says it all. @TPUSA aren’t just grifters. They will work with Antifa when it suits their agenda. pic.twitter.com/6zPgsYeQYd

Intimidation tactics were also reportedly used to prevent young people from asking their representatives hard questions:

Got confronted by somebody taking pictures. We asked why he was taking pictures of us if we weren't doing anything to disrupt the event. "You know exactly why." @NationalistTV @ZoomerClips @ZoomerNat @catholic_goy @DailyGroyper

This was one of the most revealing questions which got through:

Apparently Congressman Dan Crenshaw believes that carte blanche support of Israel is more important than the First Amendment rights of Americans.

According to Crenshaw, anyone who believes otherwise is an antisemite. pic.twitter.com/Jtrhw1cXU0

From Summit News, "Dan Crenshaw Suggests Criticism of Israel is Not Protected Under the First Amendment":

Congressman Dan Crenshaw suggested that criticism of Israel should not be protected under the First Amendment during an event last night.

Crenshaw was asked about federal laws that demand contractors in America sign a pledge that they will not boycott Israel.

The audience member also drew attention to a law passed by the state of Florida which prohibits anti-Semitism in public schools and universities throughout the state but is written to conflate “anti-Semitism” with criticism of Israel.

“These laws are obviously flagrant and troubling violations of the First Amendment to free speech,” said the questioner.

“Will you honor your oath and denounce these laws here, now and forever?” Crenshaw was asked.

Crenshaw immediately accused the questioner of “cloaking yourself in the First Amendment” as an excuse to engage in “vehement anti-Semitism.”

The Congressman then said he would “reveal” the “intentions” of the questioner “because I know who you guys are.”

Crenshaw then accused the questioner of “advocating the BDS movement,” which was unrelated to the direct question about the First Amendment.

All these clips are from events at Texas A&M University on Nov 4 and UT Austin on Nov 5:

Crenshaw gets asked about the USS Liberty Incident and proceeds to slander @NickJFuentes, falsely claiming he is a “holocaust denier” and proceeds to say that nobody should associate with him.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw replies to totally legitimate question about America Last Immigration Bill HR 1044 (which he supported) with tired & debunked Silicon Valley talking points.

political extremism in america is when young people concerned for their country and its future look for rare loopholes where they can momentarily interact with their own representatives in order to beg them to also care about the country they were elected to represent.

As we just saw with the routing of Republicans in Virginia and even Kentucky, TPUSA and Conservatism Inc's agenda of tax cuts for billionaires, outlawing criticism of Israel and "fighting socialism to save our hamburgers" is not selling.

UPDATE: Crenshaw strawmanned/attacked Paul Joseph Watson on Wednesday for reporting on his comments:

The question wasn’t about “criticism,” but the BDS movement, ie economic warfare against Israel. The US govt CAN choose not to do business with BDS supporters.

Trying to spin this as if I said you “can’t criticize Israel” is deliberately misleading & journalistic malfeasance. https://t.co/bKqq9onMO2

The question was focused around the 1st Amendment & included the issue of Florida passing a law that outlawed criticism of Israel within the education system.

Your immediate response was not to defend the sanctity of the 1st Amendment, but to call the questioner an anti-Semite. https://t.co/0E860MSoWs

I'm no fan of BDS or people who obsess all day about Israel, but the optics looked pretty bad, as did your security kicking out kids for their opinions during last night's event.
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) November 6, 2019

Sitting Congressman is a gaslighting liar.

"The state of Florida has also passed a law that outlawed the mere criticism of Israel."

"Will you honor your oath and denounce these laws, or do you believe the first amendment should only apply to Americans who support Israel?" https://t.co/6r3TeSzuQN pic.twitter.com/ykAYr0DTgo

The question wasn’t about the BDS movement actually, it was about how anti-BDS laws violate the First Amendment. You declined to answer a student’s concerns about free speech, insinuated he was an anti-Semite for even asking, and then whined about Israel being under attack. https://t.co/LGve2DKQq1

Congressman Dan Crenshaw, who swore an Oath of Office to protect the Constitution, believes that the First Amendment rights of American businesses end where criticism of Israel begins. I don’t even support BDS, but I do support AMERICA FIRST!
