Rep. Dan Crenshaw Faces Backlash Over Hot Mic Threat Toward Tucker Carlson

The Texas congressman’s off-the-cuff remark has sparked an ethics complaint and reignited tensions with the conservative commentator.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw was caught on a hot mic stating he would 'f***ing kill' Tucker Carlson if they ever met, following an interview with GB News.
The remark, which Crenshaw later dismissed as unserious, has led to an ethics complaint filed by the American Accountability Foundation, citing a violation of congressional decorum.
Crenshaw and Carlson have a history of public disputes, with Carlson criticizing Crenshaw’s stance on U.S. aid to Ukraine and other policies.
Crenshaw’s comment was reportedly made after criticizing Carlson’s foreign policy views, calling him 'the worst person' and accusing him of ignorance.
The incident highlights the risks of hot mic moments in the social media era, where offhand remarks can quickly go viral and provoke widespread scrutiny.
