Most of you are familiar with Dan Crenshaw, the Texas congressvarnint with the eye patch.

I’m gonna be honest with you and tell you that the eyepatch is all this kid has going for him.  He ain’t real bright and he’s not a pleasant person to talk to.  And now, bless his heart, he’s decided to pit himself up against the biggest Fourth of July yearly party in Texas – the Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic.

Dan has decided to have a Summer of 1776 festival every year on the Fourth.

His spent at least $144,000 on its “first annual Summer of 1776” fundraiser.  It was held at the Lago Mar Crystal Clear Lagoon in La Marque, Texas, on July 4, with entertainment including a country singer and a drone light show. Proceeds benefited the reelection campaign of the two-term congressman.

The campaign’s disbursements in the second quarter included $84,000 to Lagoon Funatics and Beach 4 Lagoon; $53,000 to Drone Light Show Company; and $7,000 to Tim Montana and the Shrednecks.

His Instagram account shows that the celebration was actually a white boys’ frat kegger.

Dan, I’m not being picky here but you could have done done away with Tim Montana and fed some boys over at the VFW for July 4th.  I guess you didn’t think of that.
