The white nationalist lawmaker from Texas who survived a traumatic injury during his time fighting in the Afghanistan War is going blind. He suffered a major eye injury after an improvised explosive device detonated near his convoy.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) is a former Navy SEAL who was elected to Congress in 2019. He has been a controversial figure in the far-right. He was mocked by Pete Davidson on SNL. The two had a brief feud after the comedian mocked his eye injury from serving a tour in Afghanistan. It became the latest culture war issue the far-right relished on.
He opposes gun reform despite Texas having numerous mass shootings. The deadly mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton have sealed his thoughts on guns. He said that he doesn't see the firearm as the threat.
He is a far-right extremist who hides behind his military record. He exploits this while attacking Hunter Biden and Beau Biden, two family members of President Joe Biden who served in military as well. Beau (Joseph Biden III) passed away in 2015.
Crenshaw had been out on leave because his left eye is waning and it may be leading towards blindness.
Crenshaw said on Saturday he will take a month-long leave of absence from Congress after emergency surgery for a detaching retina in his other eye.
"The surgery went well, but I will be effectively blind for about a month," the Texas Republican wrote in a statement on Twitter. He said his congressional offices will remain open but apologized to constituents for being "pretty much off the grid for the next few weeks."
Crenshaw, 37, a former Navy lieutenant commander who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, said the retina in his left eye appeared to be detaching as a result of extensive damage suffered in a 2012 attack in Afghanistan's Helmand Province.
"Anyone who knows the history of my injuries knows that I don't have a 'good eye,' but half a good eye," Crenshaw said in the statement.
"This is a terrifying prognosis for someone with one eye,"
he added. "I have gotten through worse before, and I will get through this."
Crenshaw, who wears an eyepatch, made national headlines in 2018 when comedian Pete Davidson mocked his appearance on Saturday Night Live. The joke was widely criticized. But Crenshaw appeared on the show alongside Davidson a week later to accept his apology.
