Is Texas Turning Purple? Rep. Crenshaw Says ‘Kids are Susceptible to the Democratic Message’ But We Can Change That

Posted at 11:30 am on March 8, 2020 by Elizabeth Vaughn

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) joined Fox News’ Jeanine Pirro on Saturday night. Pirro began by displaying head-to-head matchups in the 2020 presidential race in the state of Texas which put Trump ahead of both Biden and Sanders by 2.6% and 2.4%, respectively. She noted that these margins were much tighter than they’d been in 2016 and asked Crenshaw if Texas was turning purple?

Crenshaw told Pirro that we can’t ignore the data. He said he speaks to a lot of young people and that our kids tend to vote for Democrats. “Kids are susceptible to the Democratic message. It’s about revolution, it’s about feeling good, it’s about giving you stuff. And it’s up to us to explain to our students and to our youth what that really means, what those false promises really are.”

On Saturday, Sanders tweeted a message to young adults telling them that “this is your election.” Crenshaw said, “What I had to point out was, ‘you know the Democrats’ plan is to actually increase senior citizen benefits and to tax young people to pay for it. These are totally unsustainable policies and they’re making our social security system go broke.’ We have to point these kinds of facts out to them.”
