The Texas Republican distanced himself from those in his party who called for the FBI to be defunded after the agency searched the Mar-a-Lago estate.
When CNN's Jake Tapper asked him about recent GOP rhetoric on "State of the Union," he said it was crazy.
The search was connected to an investigation into the former president's handling of classified documents. The congressman called for the FBI to be defunded after she filed articles of impeachment against the attorney general.
The defund of the police movement that has been promoted by progressive lawmakers has been compared to those demands by some in the GOP.
It makes us look like extremists. On Sunday. Marjorie can join the defund the law enforcement club if she wants. The majority of Republicans aren't on that train.
After the search, Crenshaw called for accountability and transparency from the FBI and DOJ, saying it was politically motivated.
A federal judge last week signaled openness to releasing a redacted version of the affidavit to support the search warrant application, but the DOJ objected due to concerns for witness safety.
The criticisms of the FBI and DOJ are justified. Those criticisms are not the reason for a crazy person attacking an FBI.
The intelligence community warned of increased threats to federal law enforcement after an armed man tried to break into the FBI's Cincinnati field office.
The man was taken into custody by the FBI after he allegedly made threats to kill the agency's personnel.
That is incorrect, but that is not where most of the Republicans are.
