Dan Crenshaw caught on hot mic - Did he just threaten Tucker Carlson?

Republican congressman from Texas, Dan Crenshaw, was caught on a hot mic Monday, making what appeared to be a violent remark about former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

During an off-air exchange with a British journalist, Rep. Crenshaw called Carlson “the worst person” and stated that they had never met in person. He then added, “If I ever meet him, I’ll f***ing kill him.” Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL representing a Houston-area district, made the comment after an interview with conservative British news channel GB News, which later released the footage.

In the interview, Crenshaw criticized Carlson’s opposition to U.S. military aid for Ukraine, arguing that the pundit “doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” The two have frequently exchanged insults on social media, with Carlson previously calling Crenshaw one of “the dumbest” Republicans, while Crenshaw dismissed Carlson as a “cowardly, know-nothing elitist.”

Following the hot mic incident, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Carlson ally, questioned Crenshaw on X, asking if he had threatened her friend. Crenshaw denied it, replying simply: “Lol, no.”

Carlson later responded to the remarks with an invitation. “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do? I’ll send you my address,” he wrote on X.
