Crenshaw pins primary defeat on clickbait and misinformation culture

U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw blames a culture of misinformation and the power of clickbait for his Texas 2nd District primary defeat to state Rep. Steve Toth, saying attacks over insider trading and red-flag laws were amplified by conservative influencers and memes, making it hard to counter narratives even as he contends his financial disclosures were modest and that not all voters sought factual debates.
