Dan Crenshaw inked six-figure book deal before coming to Congress

First-term Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a retired Navy SEAL who catapulted to national fame with a good-natured response to an off-color Saturday Night Live joke at his expense,has signed a six-figure book deal.
The Texas Republican, 35, representing much of northern and western Houston, received a $250,000 advance fromHachette Book Group, according to the financial disclosure report he filed this week with the Clerk of the House of Representatives. His work is due to be published in April, 2020. The Washington Examiner has learned it will focus on mental toughness, exploring “America’s outrage culture” and offering solutions to counter it.
Congressional ethics rules prevent lawmakers from collecting anything other than book royalties after they become members. But those rules don’t kick in while a member-elect is still a private citizen.
Crenshaw is hardly the first member of Congress to sign a book contract before taking office, when income streams are limited beyond the annual salary of $174,000. The prohibition on book advances stems from criticism incurred in late 1994 by then-incoming House Speaker Newt Gingrich, for accepting $4 million from publisher HarperCollins, which he eventually returned.
Senators have more latitude on taking book advances, but their deals can still draw scrutiny. In December 2000, outgoing first lady Hillary Clinton, then a Democratic senator-elect from New York, sold her proposed memoir to Simon & Schuster for an advance of about $8 million.
Crenshaw was awarded two Bronze Star Medals and the Purple Heart over the course of five tours of duty before he retired in 2016. He earned his undergraduate degree at Tufts University and a masters in public administration at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and is a member of the House Homeland Security and Budget committees.
In 2018, in addition to the book deal, he was paid $5,600 for a “government contract” from Mayvin, a consulting firm with defense and intelligence clients.
Shortly before Election Day 2018, by which time Crenshaw was effectively headed to Congress after winning the all-important Republican nomination to replace retiring GOP Rep. Ted Poe, Crenshaw was mocked by SNL cast member Pete Davidson for looking like “a hit man in a porno movie.” The Afghanistan war veteran lost an eye in 2012 when an improvised explosive device went off near him in Helmand Province. He now wears an eye patch to cover his injury.
Davidson was lambasted for the joke, later apologizing for his “poor choice of words.”
Crenshaw appeared alongside the comedian on the following episode of SNL.
“Thank you so much for coming,” Davidson told him.
“Thank you for making a Republican look good,” Crenshaw replied.

From the Editor
Vincent Bollore runs his family's conglomerate Bollore Group, which was founded in 1822 as a paper manufacturer of cigarettes wrappers and bibles.
After a quick stint at Edmond de Rothschild bank,Bollor? took control of the struggling group in 1981 and turned it into a global giant.
The group, which is active in media, advertising, shipping, construction and logistics, owns a majority stake in telecom conglomerate Vivendi.
In 2018, French officials reportedly launched an investigation into Vincent Bollore's dealings for alleged corruption. His group denied involvement.
In December 2019, Vivendi agreed to sell a 10% stake in its Universal Music Group to billionaire Ma Huateng's Tencent Holdings.

Yet declining cigarette paper sales, rising fuel costs, the long economic recession, and the high investment costs needed to launch polypropylene film production took its toll on Bolloré. The company also suffered somewhat from a lack of strong direction, as Michel Bolloré, the second René Bolloré's son, had left Brittany to live in Paris, and attempted to run the company from there. By the end of the 1970s, Bolloré faced bankruptcy. In order to save the company,Vincent Bolloré asked friend and mentor Edmond de Rothschild to buy the family-owned business in 1975.
Vincent Bolloré, born in 1952 and raised in Paris, began his career at Compagnie FinanciereRothschild,where he first served as deputy director in 1976. During this time, Bolloré also earned a law degree, attending night classes. By the early 1980s, as the Bolloré company appeared to be heading toward bankruptcy, Bolloré, joined by older brother Michel-Yves,convinced Rothschildto sell them back the family business. Rothschild did so,demanding a symbolic one franc

Dan Crenshaw Confronted by Angry Republicans Calling Him 'Globalist RINO'

Representative Dan Crenshaw, a Republican from Texas, was confronted by a group of protesters at the Texas Republican convention on Saturday who yelled at him, followed him and appeared to clash with staff.
In a video shared on Twitter by Alex Stein, Stein can be heard yelling "eye patch McCain" at the lawmaker and calling him a "globalist RINO." Others can be seen following and yelling at Crenshaw as he walks through a hall at the convention.
Last month, Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Crenshaw "eye patch McCain" while he was criticizing the congressman over his support of funding for Ukraine amid Russia's ongoing invasion.
Crenshaw is a former Navy SEAL who lost an eye while fighting in Afghanistan.
In another video shared to Twitter from the Republican convention, user Alex Rosen asked the congressman about funding for Ukraine and red flag laws.
Crenshaw has said he doesn't support red flag laws, but in the wake of last month's mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, he said he would support expanding background checks for gun sales for those who are between 18 and 21 years old to include their "juvenile history."
In the video, Rosen shouts questions at the GOP lawmaker and follows him through the building. The video shows what appear to be staff members trying to keep a man with a camera, who is aggressively approaching Crenshaw, away from the congressman.
After Crenshaw leaves the area, conference attendees in a large room can be heard calling him a "sellout."
A man in a red "Make America Great Again" hat then yells: "Dan Crenshaw is a traitor! He needs to be hung for treason."
Newsweek has reached out to Crenshaw's office and the Texas Republican Party for comment about the incident.
Responding to the incident on Twitter, Crenshaw retweeted a Mediaite story about the protesters and wrote: "This is what happens when angry little boys like@alexstein99 don't grow up and can't get girlfriends…"
The incident at the convention comes after Senator John Cornyn, another Texas Republican, was met with boos at the event on Friday. Cornyn has recently helped lead bipartisan negotiations on a gun bill following the Uvalde school shooting. The framework of the proposal includes improving background checks for those under 21 years old, allocating funds for mental health treatment and school security, and grants to states to enforce red flag laws.
A video captured by news station KHOU showed that Cornyn faced boos and jeers from a crowd while explaining his work on the gun legislation during a speech.
The Texas State Republican Convention began on Thursday and runs through Saturday.
