Dan Crenshaw Brutally Attacks ‘Click Chaser’ Tucker Carlson: ‘Cowardly, Know-Nothing Elitist’

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) is not a fan of Tucker Carlson.In fact, it’s quite fair to say that the Texas Republican holds the former Fox News host in extremely low esteem, at least adjudged by his brutal takedown posted on X, formerly Twitter.
At issue is a recent interview Carlson conducted with Palestinian Christian Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac, a pastor in Bethlehem, for a chat for the Tucker Carlson Network. The former Fox News host decried Christian leaders in the United States for not being more critical of the destruction in Gaza.
As is often the case with criticism or commentary on the Israel-Hamas War, this interview was not without considerable controversy. What is unique in this instance, however, is the flood of conservative criticism heaved towards Carlson, who not that long ago was by far the most influential voice on the Republican side of the aisle.
Crenshaw jumped into the fray by quoting criticism by Breitbart’s Joel Pollak, but the former Navy SEAL pushed the critique from the interview to something much broader: an attack on Tucker Carlson’s trolling for clicks and over-reliance on interrogation, or as Crenshaw put it “juSt aSK quEsTiOns!”
Crenshaw posted on Twitter:
This is who Tucker is: a click-chaser.
Tucker’s MO is simple: defend America’s enemies and attack America’s allies. There isn’t an objective bone left in that washed up news host’s body. Mindless contrarianism is his guiding principle, buttressed by his childish tactic to “juSt aSK quEsTiOns!”
But any educated adult, especially one with such a long career in journalism, should occasionally try *answering* some of those questions objectively.
But he never does. Instead, he uses his platform to sow doubt and paranoia and false narratives.
He does this for one simple reason: clicks and engagement, which of course translate to monetary benefit. He wants you to believe he is the last place you can go to for truth, that he’s the ONLY one brave enough to reveal the elitist lies being told.
This nonsense about Christian mistreatment in Israel is just the latest example.
Tucker will eventually fade into nothingness, because his veneer of faux intellectualism is quickly falling apart and revealing who he truly is: a cowardly, know-nothing elitist who is full of shit.
Crenshaw and Carlson have had beef for some time; the last notable salvo came when Tucker blasted Crenshaw for “lying for attention” after a House vote on TikTok owner Bytedance.
