US not Invading Mexico’ Says Crenshaw in Spanish Language Interview

Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) has addressed his rivalry with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. In an interview with El Pais, Rep. Crenshaw clarifies that his issue is not with President Obrador but with the drug cartels. Rep. Crenshaw states that the United States is not looking to invade Mexico.

This year, Crenshaw teamed up with Florida Rep. Mike Waltz (R) to introduce legislation that would allow the United States to use the military against drug cartels. The incited a response from President Obrador, who questioned the U.S.’s intentions. Moreover, President Obrador even threatened to interfere in the upcoming presidential election to make sure that Republicans lose.

This sparked a rivalry between Crenshaw and President Obrador, which has not subsided.

Now, Crenshaw is clarifying his statements to make sure that there’s no misunderstanding.

In his interview with El Pais, Crenshaw wanted to make sure President Obrador understood that he is “declaring war against cartels” and not on him. Crenshaw believes that the cartels should be treated like terrorist groups and that military use should be authorized against them.

“Mexico is not a colony of the United States,” said Crenshaw, asking for Obrador to support the cause.

The reporter notified Crenshaw that in Mexico, the media recognizes Crenshaw as a Republican that has a hardline stance on political matters.

In response, Crenshaw expressed that he doesn’t know what media sources mean by him having a hardline stance on issues.

“I think we should have a hardline stance on threats from the cartel that are killing people, Mexican and American,” Crenshaw explained, adding, “I don’t think it’s a hardline stance to say that we have to combat them. They’ve killed thousands and thousands of Mexicans. They control parts of Mexico, they control governments in parts of Mexico and they threaten Mexican politicians.”

Using the military against the cartels has been endorsed by President Donald Trump (R), which has only escalated the aforementioned rivalry.
