Dune star and former WWE professional wrestler Dave Bautista attacked 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, calling him a “huge fucking twat.”
“Dayum! I never wanna piss Pam off. Also @DanCrenshawTX I really respect your service but otherwise you’re just a huge fucking twat,” Dave Bautista said in response to a lengthy thread from Pam Keith, a former Democrat candidate for Congress in Florida.

“We don’t need any more activist athletes. She should be removed from the team,” he said during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
“The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. That’s the entire point, ok? So it’s one thing when it’s these NBA players do it, ok, fine, we’ll just stop watching. But now the Olympic team? And it’s multiple cases of this. They should be removed.
