GOP lawmaker threatens to 'kill' Tucker Carlson on sight: report

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) told a British journalist he would "kill" right-wing broadcaster Tucker Carlson if he ever saw him, according to the reporter.

The remark came after Steven Edginton of GBNews interviewed Crenshaw. The reporter shared a clip of the interview on Monday.

"Just coming back to this $100 billion to Ukraine, I know that people like Tucker Carlson would make the argument that there's a real opportunity cost there, you know, we could have spent that money on the border or fixing, you know, issues in America," Edginton prompted Crenshaw.

"You can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time," the Republican replied. "I would love to ask Tucker what he thinks that $100 billion should be spent on and if he would vote for it as a conservative. Tucker doesn't know what he's talking about."

"Tucker likes to visit Moscow and talk about how great the grocery stores are, so I don't really take his advice very seriously."

Following the conversation, Edginton asked Crenshaw if he had ever met Carlson.

"I would kill him if I saw him," Crenshaw responded, the reporter noted on X.

Edginton said he "laughed it off," but Crenshaw apparently wasn't joking.

"No, seriously, I would kill him," the lawmaker reportedly warned.
