Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) continued his criticisms of podcast host Tucker Carlson, whom he has been feuding with for months.
Crenshaw did not attempt to patch things up after he was caught in a hot mic moment threatening to kill Carlson in February. The Texas representative did not deny or apologize over the incident but continued to trade barbs with Carlson in online posts to X. Carlson invited Crenshaw to his show, where in a recent episode, he called Crenshaw a “freak,” a “warmonger,” and a “weirdo.”

“This is typical for Tucker,” Crenshaw said Wednesday on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “Tucker has no actual substance, right? He’s been attacking me since 2022, when he became obsessed with me. I live rent-free in that little mongrel’s head.”
According to Crenshaw, Carlson “begged” him to appear on the Tucker Carlson Show, an invitation he has yet to accept. Crenshaw also mentioned a 2022 news story about Carlson emailing former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, for help getting his own son into Georgetown in 2014.
“I give up. We’ve asked this guy many times to have a direct conversation,” Carlson wrote on X in response to the clip. “He won’t come without a bodyguard. Pathetic. But honestly I’d still like to hire him as a financial advisor. He’s the man you need picking your stocks in a bear market.”

The two men have feuded since last year, when Carlson suggested Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s administration was mistreating Christians in Israel, and Crenshaw came to the U.S. ally’s defense.
Carlson was on Piers Morgan’s program last month advising that Israel shouldn’t “brag about” killing civilians in Gaza and should “weep” instead.
