About 20 protestors gathered outside Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s home on Wednesday night, where they chanted, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!”
Carlson told The Washington Post on Thursday that he received text messages about a commotion outside his house in Washington, D.C., saying that his wife “heard pounding on the front door and screaming. . . Someone started throwing himself against the front door and actually cracked the front door.”
One person used a bullhorn and accused Carlson of “promoting hate” and “an ideology that has led to thousands of people dying.”
“We want you to know, we know where you sleep at night,” this person said before beginning the chant: “Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!”
None of the couple’s four children were home when the incident, which was organized by the anti-fascist group “Smash Racism DC,” took place.
Salon reports that the group appeared to take credit in a tweet sent just after the protesters arrived, which said, “Every night you spread fear into our homes — fear of the other, fear of us, and fear of them. Each night you tell us we are not safe. Tonight you’re reminded that we have a voice.”
The Smash Racism DC Twitter account has since been suspended.
“It wasn’t a protest. It was a threat,” Carlson told the Post. “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.”
