Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) fired back at Tucker Carlson with a reminder of one of his more embarrassing moments after the right-wing video host attacked him on social media.

Why do the reddest states produce the dumbest, most liberal Republicans ? Carlson tweeted. Why arent John Cornyn and Dan Crenshaw bagging groceries at Walmart?

Crenshaw fired back:

That was a blunt reminder of Carlsons widely mocked trip to Russia, where he visited a Moscow supermarket and marveled at things such as a shopping cart return system, like those that can found at just about any Aldi in the United States.

Carlson, a longtime apologist for Vladimir Putin , traveled to the country for an interview with the Russian leader that was so soft Putin himself mocked Carlson for it .

Carlson was slammed by people on both sides of the aisle over the visit.

The Soviets had a term for people like Tucker: useful idiots, another GOP lawmaker, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), said at the time .

Crenshaw and Carlson have tussled before. Just last week, Crenshaw torched Carlson as a cowardly, know-nothing elitist who is full of shit.

Carlson, who has admitted to lying on his show when he was on Fox News , was once the top host on cable television as he peddled racist conspiracy theories and anti-immigrant rhetoric . He and Fox News parted ways shortly after the conservative network agreed to pay $787.5 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle a defamation lawsuit over unfounded claims on its shows about election fraud in 2020.

Now he posts his videos on X, YouTube and a subscription website.
