On Thursday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) released what is possibly the most bad*ss campaign ad in history, called “Texas Reloaded,” as he and five fellow Texans running for Congress are featured in scenes reminiscent of “Mission: Impossible” with Crenshaw as the leader of a six-person team whose mission is to “save Texas.”
The beginning of the ad shows former Navy Seal Crenshaw sipping a cup of coffee at dawn in the “Crenshaw Command Center” before ripping open an envelope marked “Top Secret” and retrieving a smartphone. Taking off his eyepatch, which he wears in real life to cover a wound he received from an IED when he served in Afghanistan, a bright light shines from the eye to examine the phone, from which a woman’s voice emanates, saying, “Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to save Texas.”
“To do so, you must recruit an exceptional team of congressional candidates,” the voiceover continues as Crenshaw dons a parachute and army fatigues. Cut to Crenshaw on a plane preparing to jump as the voice states, “They must be courageous, patriotic, and absolutely fearless. Time is of the essence. The nation’s future is dependent upon your success.”
