Dan Crenshaw’s Rant Against Tucker Carlson Goes Viral
THE HOT MIC
A controversy has emerged on X after Texas Republican U.S. Representative Dan Crenshaw was heard on a hot mic suggesting he would 'kill' former Fox News star and Trump ally Tucker Carlson if they met. The video of the incident has gone viral.
This comment has sparked significant backlash among some political figures and social media users. Crenshaw later laughed off the claims, indicating the statement might not have been serious.
BACKLASH
Tucker Carlson responded by inviting Crenshaw to his podcast to discuss the issue further. Reactions vary, with some calling for official actions like censure while others see it as an overblown reaction to a possibly offhand remark.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene questioned Crenshaw, writing on X, “Rep. Crenshaw, did you threaten to kill my friend Tucker Carlson?
Crenshaw responded, “LOL. No.”
The Crenshaw comment about Carlson followed an interview with a GB News correspondent.
GB News: "Have you ever met Tucker?"
Crenshaw: "We've talked a lot on Twitter... If I ever meet him, I'll f*cking k*ll him."
