While Tucker Carlson was on the air in the Washington, DC, FOX News studio on Wednesday night, a mob of Antifa thugs assembled outside of his home and threatened him and his family.
The group that did this is Smash Racism DC, the same folks who harassed Ted Cruz and his wife at a restaurant last month.
Peter Hasson of the Daily Caller broke the story:
A Mob Showed Up Outside Tucker Carlson’s House and Ordered Him to ‘Leave Town’A left-wing mob showed up outside Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s house Wednesday evening, posted pictures of his address online and demanded that he flee the city of Washington, D.C.Carlson, a co-founder of The Daily Caller and host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” was at the Fox News studio when the angry crowd showed up outside of his house.At least one of the protesters went all the way up to Carlson’s front door, where they left a sign with his family’s home address written on it and rang his doorbell.Video of the group, “Smash Racism DC,” shows one of the mob’s ringleaders leading the crowd in chants of “racist scumbag, leave town!” and “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!”The group posted a picture of the sign with the Carlson family’s address on it to Twitter.“Tucker Carlson, you cannot hide from the people you hurt with your rhetoric, your lies, and your hate,” the group wrote on Twitter, adding the hashtag “#KnockKnockTucker.”Twitter removed the tweet with Carlson’s address after an inquiry from The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Carlson spoke to The Washington Post:
“I called my wife,” Carlson told The Washington Post in a phone interview. “She had been in the kitchen alone getting ready to go to dinner and she heard pounding on the front door and screaming. … Someone started throwing himself against the front door and actually cracked the front door.”His wife, thinking it was a home invasion, locked herself in the pantry and called 911, Carlson said. The couple have four children, but none were home at the time.—“It wasn’t a protest. It was a threat,” said Carlson, who is often denounced by critics, particularly liberal critics, for inflammatory rhetoric about immigrants and minorities on his Fox News show. “They weren’t protesting anything specific that I had said. They weren’t asking me to change anything. They weren’t protesting a policy or advocating for legislation. … They were threatening me and my family and telling me to leave my own neighborhood in the city that I grew up in.”
The group proudly posted video of their actions on Twitter but they have since been removed. You can see one video below. It shows one person approaching the front door and then another speaking through a megaphone. Finally, the crowd begins chanting: “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!”
Robby Starbuck notes that Tucker has four kids:
Joe Concha of the Hill concurs:
Remember last month when the liberal media scolded America for using the word mobs? What will they call this?
If we had a real media, reporters would now be asking Maxine Waters if she feels any responsibility for this, given her now famous directive to the left:
“If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd, and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Waters was talking about members of the Trump cabinet, but people on the hard left have clearly expanded the concept to include any targets they please.
This is dangerous and it won’t end well.
