Tweet: Sussex Dem Chair mocked disabled veteran

On February 5, 2019, the Chair of the Sussex County Democrat Committee was watching the State of the Union address.  She caught sight of Congressman Dan Crenshaw and tweeted… “who’s the pirate?”

Congressman Crenshaw of Texas is a former United States Navy SEAL.  He served with the SEALs for ten years – including five tours of duty – reaching the rank of Lt. Commander.  He served with SEAL Team Three in Iraq.  He was wounded in Afghanistan and became a “pirate” – losing his right eye.  Emergency surgery saved the vision in his left eye. 

Crenshaw earned two Bronze Stars, the Purple Heart, and the Navy & Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor.  That is some “pirate”. 

The Chair of the Sussex County Democrat Committee has been trying to label the Chair of the Sussex County Republican Committee over a “re-tweet” she claims is offensive.  Well, now we’re offended.  What label shall we append to her name?

Perhaps she would like to suggest one?

Perhaps Governor Murphy would like to suggest one?  After all, she is his creation.
