The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee put out an email blast Wednesday afternoon drawing attention to Owens’ May appearance on an internet show run by followers of the fringe, right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon. Democrats also seized on reports this week that Owens had plagiarized extensive passages of his book and that he had helped raise money for the "Build the Wall” charity at the center of fraud charges against former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
Crenshaw, who has been critical of Trump’s foreign policy decisions, didn’t mention Trump by name in his nearly four-minute speech. Trump carried the 2nd District in the Houston suburbs by 9 points in 2016. Inside Elections rates the 2nd District race Likely Republican.
Instead, Crenshaw said generally, “We can decide right now that American greatness will not be rejected nor squandered.”
That didn’t stop Crenshaw’s opponent, attorney Sima Ladjevardian, from criticizing him. She put out a statement on Wednesday saying Crenshaw “left Houston behind to advance his own political career, and now President Trump is rewarding him for his loyalty to the party instead of the people.”
Zeldin appealed directly for a second term for Trump, saying in his speech recorded at a VFW hall, “For our nation to emerge even stronger, more prosperous and freer and more secure than ever, to make our country greater than ever before, we must reelect President Trump.”
