Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw lied about threatening to kill Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson, a video GB News reporter Steven Edginton posted to X on Monday showed.
Early Monday morning, Edginton accused Crenshaw of making the threat after an interview the pair recorded earlier in February.
“After our interview I asked Dan Crenshaw if he had ever met Tucker Carlson,” Edginton tweeted. “He said: ‘I would kill him if I saw him’ I laughed it off. He said: ‘No seriously, I would kill him.’”

Crenshaw denied the accusation, responding to Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene when she asked if he threatened to kill Carlson.
“lol, no,” he responded.

But roughly 30 minutes later, GB News tweeted a video where Crenshaw can be heard making the threat. Edginton promptly retweeted it.
“Have you ever met Tucker?” Edginton asked Crenshaw as the pair removed their microphones. (RELATED: Dan Crenshaw Says He Will ‘Tear Apart’ Fellow Republican Over Military Confirmation Blockade: REPORT)
“No, we’ve talked a lot on Twitter. If I ever meet him I’ll fucking kill him,” Crenshaw appears to say.
Edginton laughs, but Crenshaw appears to double down with, “No, seriously, I’ll kill him. He’s the worst person I’ve ever met.”

The Daily Caller reached out to Crenshaw’s office to ask whether this was a serious statement. A spokesperson told the Caller, “No, of course not.”
