Noted neocon Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) threatened to kill journalist Tucker Carlson if the two ever cross paths.
When asked by GB News correspondent Steven Edginton towards the end of an interview if he had ever met Carlson, Crenshaw – aka “Eye Patch McCain” replied: “If I ever meet him I’ll fuckin’ kill him,” adding “No seriously, I would kill him.”

There’s longstanding animosity between Crenshaw and Carlson, with Crenshaw calling the former Fox News host a “click chaser” and “cowardly know-nothing elitist who is full of shit” last April over Carlson’s interviews with various polarizing figure. Carlson, meanwhile, has called out Crenshaw for giving Joe Biden the power to shut down news websites that challenge mainstream narratives – which Crenshaw said was nothing more than Carlson “lying for attention, as usual.”
