Fox News host Tucker Carlson laid into the wartime posturing of Rep. Dan Crenshaw’s (R-TX) wartime posturing, and mocked a comment the congressman made while trying to argue with a Twitter account named Chigg Bungus this week.
“Dan Crenshaw of Texas, for example, not a stupid guy, just announced that we’re, “investing in the destruction of our adversaries’ military” when we spend $40 billion on Ukraine,” Carlson noted. “Investing in the destruction of our adversaries’ military? Since when do we declare war on Russia? Did anybody vote for that? Our adversaries’ military? That’s what you do in war. Since when are we fighting Russia? Well, since Putin stole the election from Hillary Clinton.”
“Glad to see that Dan Crenshaw has signed up for this new campaign, but you got to wonder at what cost?” Carlson queried. “Not just the peril, the real peril, that this could escalate into something crushing for the West, but what immediate cost to the United States and our own ability to defend ourselves?”
Thank you @TuckerCarlson for calling our warmongers like @DanCrenshawTX.
I’m sick of having WEF puppets like Dan in congress! It’s time our leaders put America First!

Carlson continued, “All these people who love the military, do they ever ask that question?”
As Valiant News previously reported, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) started an argument with a Twitter account named “Chigg Bungus” on Wednesday over the $40 billion U.S. aid package for Ukraine authorized this week, which Crenshaw fervently supports.
Crenshaw has a history of insulting and starting arguments with random social media users who criticize his policy positions.
The Texas rep. posted an article from the Wall Street Journal on his Twitter account Wednesday, and was promptly ratioed on the tweet, receiving over twice as many replies as likes.
One Twitter account named Chigg Bungus that replied, “Yeah you sound off about that stuff but then you vote yes on the $40 billion to Ukraine,” drew Crenshaw’s ire.
“Yeah, because investing in the destruction of our adversary’s military, without losing a single American troop, strikes me as a good idea. You should feel the same,’ Crenshaw wrote.
In response, @BungusChigg wrote, “Buddy you’re crying about inflation but you’re only making it worse how are we getting the 40 billion when inflation is increasing every single day.”
