GOP Rep Dan Crenshaw caught on hot mic threatening to 'kill' Tucker Carlson

WASHINGTON, DC: Texas Representative Dan Crenshaw went viral on social media after he was caught saying he would "kill" conservative commentator Tucker Carlson in a hot mic moment, as reported by the Daily Mail. 

The incident took place after the former Navy Seal wrapped up an interview with GB News correspondent Steven Edginton. During the interview, Crenshaw slammed Carlson for opposing the US sending aid to Ukraine, saying that he "doesn't know what he's talking about."

The feud between Carlson and Crenshaw has been long ongoing, with the former Fox News host calling the latter "a very volatile person" who is "not emotionally prepared to lead anything" in an interview in December 2024.

Prior to that in April 2024, Crenshaw had attacked Carlson as a "click chaser" whose aim was to "defend America's enemies and attack America's allies."
