Hollywood actor and former WWE professional wrestler Dave Bautista hurled an insult at Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) after he called out U.S. Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry for turning away from the American flag during the national anthem. But it was not any old insult, it was a personal attack as the Hollywood star called Dan a “huge f*cking twat.”

“Dayum! I never wanna piss Pam off. Also @DanCrenshawTX I really respect your service but otherwise you’re just a huge f*cking twat,” Dave Bautista said in response to a lengthy thread from Pam Keith, a former Democrat candidate for Congress.

“Dear @DanCrenshawTX, As a Black woman who happily and honorably served this country in the military, who is the daughter of a Black man who served this country in the military, and for 30+ years in the Foreign Service, and the granddaughter of a Black man who served in WWII, I would like to respectfully ask you to… SIT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND SHUT THE &}~%]<}£{[> UP!” Keith wrote about Crenshaw.

Keith and Bautista were mad at Crenshaw calling for Berry’s removal from the U.S. Olympic team on Fox News.

Ainsley Earhardt said, “Dan, what was your reaction? You fought for our country to the Olympic hammer thrower, Gwen Berry; she turned her back on the flag during the anthem and put a black t-shirt over her face that said ‘Activist athlete?’”

“We don’t need any more activist athletes,” Crenshaw said. “She should be removed from the team. The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. That’s the entire point, okay?”

Crenshaw continued: “This is one thing when we see NBA players do it, okay fine; we’ll just stop watching, but now the Olympic team? It’s multiple cases of this. 

“They should be removed. 

“That should be the bare minimum requirement is that you believe in the country representing.

“This is the pathology that occurs when we’re teaching critical race theory into our institutions, because critical race theory, again, basically teaches that our institutions are racist, that our systems are deeply racist.

“You can’t see the racism, because it’s subtle, but and if you deny it, it’s because of you teaching people this constantly, and this is what it results in.

“In these displays of hatred towards our own country and it’s got to stop,” Crenshaw said.

From CNN:

Hammer thrower Gwen Berry says that the playing of the national anthem while she was on the podium at the US Olympic track and field trials was “set up.”

Berry turned away from the flag to face the stands while “The Star-Spangled Banner” played during the medal ceremony on Saturday. She then draped a T-shirt bearing the words “activist athlete” over her head.

Having placed third in the hammer event at the trials in Eugene, Oregon, Berry earned a spot on the US team for the Tokyo Olympics, which get underway next month.

“I feel like it was set up. I feel like they did that on purpose, and I was pissed, to be honest,” said Berry of the anthem being played while she was on the podium.

“I was thinking about what should I do. Eventually, I just stayed there and just swayed. I put my shirt over my head. It was real disrespectful. I know they did that on purpose, but it’ll be alright. I see what’s up.”

USA Track and Field (USATF) did not respond to CNN’s requests for comment, but according to Reuters, it said the anthem was played each day at the trials according to a pre-arranged schedule.

“We didn’t wait until the athletes were on the podium for the hammer throw awards,” said USATF spokeswoman Susan Hazzard. “We’re thrilled with the women’s hammer throw team that selected themselves for the Games.”
