Dan Crenshaw, the newly elected Republican congressman mocked on SNL for the eye-patch he wears due to losing his eye in an IED blast while serving in Afghanistan, set Democrat panelists on edge as he challenged allegations that President Donald Trump is “undermining democracy.”

Crenshaw tweeted a post-discussion shout-out to his co-panelists on the CBS episode of “Face the Nation,” which aired on Nov. 18, featuring incoming House of Representatives members Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Deb Haaland, (D-N.M.), Joe Neguse, (D-Colo.), as well as Crenshaw himself (R-Tx.).
