On Thursday’s Fox & Friends, Rep. Dan Crenshaw elaborated on a recent tweet where he criticized the media for what he calls anti-Christian coverage, including a claim that the March For Life was “hardly” publicized by the media. “Aside from Fox News, March For Life doesn't get a whole lot of coverage even though there’s hundreds of thousands of people coming out in a positive, optimistic way,” Crenshaw said. “I was there. This was really a great March. It was a great group of people. Didn't really get a lot of coverage.”

Crenshaw, who is perhaps most famous for being mocked and later apologized to by Pete Davidson on SNL, points to the incident over the weekend in Washington DC involving Covington Catholic high school students as another example of a “blunder” committed by the media. “That story has been thoroughly debunked. Yet the mainstream media resorted to complete outrage culture, in stride, all together, let's hate these kids. Let's demean these kids. It was so wrong. It was so painful to watch,” Crenshaw said, adding: “Right before that Karen pence had been attacked for just teaching at a Christian school. We've seen the last couple months. Democrat senators, tearing apart judicial nominees because of Christian faith.This is an ongoing crisis, this is not right. We should be speaking out against it.”

The recently sworn-in Republican from Texas stirred up a big a reaction on Twitter, with supporters that are glad he’s getting into the mix, and others who find these talking points “sad” and disappointing.
