RINO politicians were stabbing the Conservative Movement in the back well before Donald Trump became a target.
The days of them going unpunished are over.
And one unhinged RINO just ended his career with two awful words caught on a hot mic.
Establishment politician comes unglued when asked about one top Conservative star
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is despised by the Democrats.
But there are many in the GOP that hate him with zeal as Carlson has been a fearless critic of the Washington, D.C., Swamp, attacking establishment players on both sides of the aisle.
And at this point, establishment Republicans might loathe Carlson more than the Democrats.
That was evident when Rep. Dan Crenshaw (RINO-TX) got caught on a hot mic threatening to murder Carlson.
The controversy began when Crenshaw spoke with Steven Edginton of GB News, a British outlet.
The topic of foreign policy came up, and Crenshaw blasted Carlson’s notion that the untold billions of dollars funneled to Ukraine could have been spent on American citizens.

‘Tucker doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He likes to visit Moscow and talk about how great the grocery stores are—I don’t take his advice seriously.’

After the interview wrapped, Edginton asked, “Have you ever met Tucker?”
Crenshaw responded, “We’ve talked a lot over Twitter. If I ever meet him, I’ll f***ing kill him. I’m not joking. He’s the worst person. . .”
Crenshaw trailed off, but the context was clear.
Considering Crenshaw is a former Navy SEAL, he should know better than to joke about killing somebody.

The incident went viral, which put Crenshaw in damage control mode.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asked Crenshaw point-blank, “Did you threaten to kill my friend Tucker Carlson.”
Crenshaw glibly responded, “lol, no.”
However, Community Notes added the receipts to his message.

In response to the threat, Carlson wrote to Crenshaw on social media, “Why don’t you come sit for an interview and we’ll see how you do? I’ll send you my address.”

Why the RINOs hate Tucker
Carlson has been a consistent critic of Crenshaw and his war-mongering policies.
He even dubbed Crenshaw “Eyepatch McCain” in reference to the late anti-Trump Senator John McCain, whose answer to nearly every question seemed to be “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran.”

Crenshaw became a chief representative of that shrinking wing of RINOs in the GOP upon McCain’s death.
As a freshman in the 2018 Congressional class, Crenshaw appeared to be a rising star.
However, Crenshaw’s star has faded the more he revealed himself to be the kind of Swamp creature for which Carlson’s mocking surely contributed to his ouster at Fox News.
The so-called official narrative was that Carlson was fired from Fox News as part of the settlement with Dominion Voting Systems.
But Carlson never bought the Dominion-specific claims of vote-switching made by Sidney “Release the Kraken” Powell over the 2020 election.
Carlson was fired because he was too critical of the war in Ukraine.
That much was made clear by Senator Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) in Spring 2024 when another round of Ukraine funding went through, and he was asked why it took so long for the bill to pass.
McConnell confessed, “I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should’ve been all along, which is interviewing [Russian President] Vladimir Putin. . .He had an enormous audience, which convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.”
RINO former House Speaker Paul Ryan sits on the board of Fox News, so it’s likely he had a hand in booting Carlson from the network.
That’s the wing of the GOP that hates Carlson so much.
And it’s patently obvious to many Conservatives that that’s why Crenshaw threatened to kill him.
