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. Carlson’s wife Susie was home alone at the time.
The group “Smash Racism DC” posted video footage to Twitter showing 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!”
“No borders! No walls! No USA at all!” the protesters chanted in another video posted to Twitter.
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 videos and tweet with Carlson’s address Wednesday night after an inquiry from The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The left-wing group’s Twitter account was suspended shortly after midnight on Thursday.
Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and president Jay Wallace released a statement Thursday denouncing the mob’s actions.
“The incident that took place at Tucker’s home last night was reprehensible. The violent threats and intimidation tactics toward him and his family are completely unacceptable,” Scott and Wallace said, adding:
“We as a nation have become far too intolerant of different points of view. Recent events across our country clearly highlight the need for a more civil, respectful, and inclusive national conversation. Those of us in the media and in politics bear a special obligation to all Americans, to find common ground.”
NBC’s Megyn Kelly denounced the mob tactics towards Carlson.
“This has to stop. Who are we? What are we becoming? @TuckerCarlson is tough & can handle a lot, but he does not deserve this,” Kelly, a former Fox News host, wrote on Twitter.
“His family does not deserve this. It’s stomach-turning,” Kelly added.

“Smash Racism DC” previously chased Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife out of a restaurant during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings.
The group later posted a message warning Cruz that he’s “not safe.”

Did you guys see all the right wing rioting and protesting after the Republicans lost the house at the national level???
Neither did I.
And it is the Conservatives and Libertarians who are supposed to behave responsibility,
but are always criticized for Not being loving, responsible, generous or kind.
No one has said that a single Antifa type was, or ever has been, arrested and jailed pending trial.
WTH?
Sure does remind me of the democratic Ku Klux Klan members burning crosses on lawns that refresh anybody’s memory.
No reports that anyone was actually arrested, charged and jailed
What gives?
DemocRAT ” mob ” showed up outside Tucker Carlson’s house and ordered him to ‘leave town’
I know who should leave town and it’s not Carlson, it’s time to lower the boom on these fools.
911 was called, tickets and fines or lock them up !!
