Last night, Kevin McCarthy lost a sixth consecutive vote for Speaker of the House. Twenty Republicans continue to vote against him, including Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, Chip Roy, and Byron Donalds.
In a totally proportionate response yesterday afternoon, Rep. Dan Crenshaw referred to these Republicans as "terrorists."

He later issued a tweet defending his choice of words, claiming it's a "figure of speech" and that Americans should "grow thicker skin."
\u201cUnclutch your pearls. It\u2019s a figure of speech. You can\u2019t insult, slander, and hold everyone hostage with no way out - and not expect me to punch back. \n\nGrow thicker skin.\u201d— Dan Crenshaw (@Dan Crenshaw) 1672884300
But it didn't stop there! He also gave an interview to CNN and called his Republican colleagues "narcissists" and "enemies":

So why are these terrible, evil, Republican narcissists refusing to vote for McCarthy? Lauren Boebert says he rejected a proposal that would have given him enough votes. The proposal included a border security and term limits bill. McCarthy attempted to secure the 218 votes needed by agreeing to some proposals from the House Freedom Caucus, but ultimately, it wasn't enough.
Boebert also said they asked for the Republican Study Committee’s budget to be put forward, which would balance in seven years, but Kevin McCarthy said no.
