Crenshaw’s Violent Remark About Tucker Carlson Caught On Hot Mic

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), known for his frequent criticism of President Donald Trump and his supporters, has ignited controversy after a hot mic captured him making an explicit threat against conservative commentator Tucker Carlson. During an interview with Great Britain News, Crenshaw was asked if he had ever met Carlson. He responded bluntly, saying, “If I ever meet him, I’d f***ing kill him,” before calling Carlson “the worst person ever.”

The comment, which was picked up by a microphone left on after the interview, spread rapidly across social media, sparking outrage from conservatives. Elon Musk, reacting to the footage, questioned why Crenshaw was expressing such extreme hostility toward Carlson. Carlson himself did not let the moment pass, challenging Crenshaw to face him directly, stating, “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do? I’ll send you my address.”

Crenshaw and Carlson have long been at odds over foreign policy, particularly regarding Ukraine. Crenshaw has openly defended U.S. support for Ukraine, explaining that it was never about protecting Ukrainian democracy but rather a strategic move to weaken Russia’s military. Carlson, a critic of interventionist policies, has argued that Crenshaw’s stance ignores the cost in human lives and disregards the interests of American citizens.

Their rivalry has extended beyond policy disagreements. Crenshaw has frequently insulted Carlson, calling him a “click-chaser” who misleads the public for personal gain. Carlson has countered by dubbing Crenshaw “Eye Patch McCain,” comparing him to the late Sen. John McCain for his hawkish foreign policy views.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) publicly asked Crenshaw to clarify whether he had actually made the threat. Crenshaw dismissed the controversy, but Great Britain News reporter Steven Edgington, who recorded the interview, stated, “We literally have it on video.” Although the original post was removed from X, it has continued to circulate widely.
