Rep. Dan Crenshaw Faces Backlash for Hot Mic Comments About Tucker Carlson

The Texas congressman was recorded saying he would 'kill' the conservative commentator, prompting widespread criticism and calls for clarification.

During an interview with GB News, Rep. Dan Crenshaw was caught on a hot mic saying he would 'f***ing kill' Tucker Carlson if they ever met, later adding 'he’s the worst person.'
The comments followed Crenshaw's criticism of Carlson's opposition to U.S. aid to Ukraine, which he dismissed as uninformed and unserious.
The video of the exchange was deleted by GB News but was widely circulated online, sparking significant backlash from conservative figures, including Elon Musk and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Crenshaw denied making a serious threat, responding to Greene's inquiry with 'lol, no,' while a spokesperson for the congressman also stated the remarks were not serious.
Tucker Carlson invited Crenshaw for an interview to address the incident, continuing their long-standing feud over foreign policy and personal attacks.
