The tension between Crenshaw and Carlson has been ongoing, primarily due to differing views on U.S. aid to Ukraine. Crenshaw has long distinguished himself within the party for his extreme, pro-war views.
In the GB News interview, Crenshaw criticized Carlson’s stance on the matter, suggesting that the pundit lacked understanding of the issue.
This public dispute has seen Carlson label Crenshaw as one of “the dumbest” Republicans, while Crenshaw has described Carlson as a “cowardly, know-nothing elitist.”
After the incident, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a known ally of Carlson, questioned Crenshaw on social media about his alleged threat.
Crenshaw denied making any such statement, responding with “Lol, no.”
In response to the situation, Carlson extended an invitation to Crenshaw for an interview, proposing a face-to-face discussion to address their differences.

The exchange between Crenshaw and Carlson underscores the deepening divisions and the challenges in reconciling differing viewpoints within the party, particularly on foreign policy issues.
