Crenshaw, a staunch advocate for military aid to Ukraine, has been vocal about his opposition to those who question U.S. intervention in the war. Carlson has repeatedly criticized American involvement, arguing that it serves Washington’s elites rather than the interests of everyday Americans.
As the interview wrapped up, the conversation took a disturbing turn. Edginton asked Crenshaw whether he had ever met Tucker Carlson.
“If I ever meet Tucker Carlson, I’ll f**king kill him. I’m not joking,” Crenshaw declared.
When Edginton laughed, seemingly in disbelief, Crenshaw doubled down: “No seriously, I would kill him.”
The chilling remark has since sparked outrage, with critics accusing Crenshaw of crossing the line from political debate into outright threats of violence.
The remark did not go unnoticed. Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene confronted Crenshaw about his statement, pressing him on whether he truly meant what he said.
“lol, no.” Crenshaw later responded.
But that wasn’t enough to calm the storm. Tech billionaire Elon Musk also chimed in, questioning Crenshaw’s extreme rhetoric. “Why is Crenshaw homicidal regarding Tucker?” Musk asked.
Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL and rising GOP figure, has long been associated with the neoconservative wing of the Republican Party. He has consistently pushed for aggressive foreign policy measures, including increased military assistance to Ukraine. His hawkish stance has put him at odds with America First conservatives who oppose endless wars.

Despite his alignment with the establishment on foreign affairs, Crenshaw has largely supported former President Donald Trump’s domestic policies. According to FiveThirtyEight, he has voted with Trump’s agenda nearly 89% of the time.
Crenshaw’s shocking statement has raised serious concerns, especially at a time when political tensions in the country are already at a boiling point. Calls for accountability have emerged, with many questioning whether the congressman should face consequences for his words.
The controversy also highlights the ongoing divide within the Republican Party. While figures like Crenshaw push for more foreign intervention, Carlson has become a leading voice for non-interventionist conservatives who prioritize America’s interests over foreign conflicts.
As the backlash continues to unfold, Crenshaw’s offhand remark is unlikely to be forgotten anytime soon. Whether he was joking or not, his words have only deepened the fractures within the GOP and reinforced the growing skepticism among conservatives toward the party’s foreign policy establishment.
One thing is certain—this latest controversy will only add fuel to the fire in the ongoing battle for the future of the Republican Party.
