A
popular nickname for retired US Navy SEAL and Texas Congressman
Dan Crenshaw. The nickname is a reference to John McCain, a RINO senator that Crenshaw holds similar views to and a reference to Crenshaw's dramatic choice to wear an eyepatch rather than just getting a glass eye like a normal person. Much like McCain exploited being a
POW to further his political career and portray himself as a patriotic
hero, Crenshaw's eyepatch is intended to remind everyone that he lost an eye for his
country, while he subsequently supports policies that put the interests of other countries and global elites over those of his own
country and those of his constituents.
Crenshaw is also known as "Zioclops", a reference to him having only one eye and his enthusiastic support for Zionist causes. He is also known as "Cringeshaw" due to how much of a disappointment he is to conservatives who thought he would be different based on his war veteran image, as
well as his predilection for making cringe statements such as stating that the
2020 presidential election was not stolen and insulting members of the Freedom Caucus.
Eyepatch McCain suggested that criticism of
Israel is not protected under the First Amendment when questioned by a
Groyper at a speaking engagement.
