Mob Chants Threats Outside Tucker Carlson’s Home
November 8, 2018 at 7:10 am EST By Taegan Goddard


An Antifa angry mob gathered outside of Fox New’s anchor Tucker Carlson’s home on Wednesday evening, USA Today reports.

“The anti-fascists group, possibly associated with Smash Racism, D.C., chanted ‘Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night’ outside of Carlson’s D.C. home, according to Fox News. In a video posted online, the group can also be heard saying ‘racist scumbag, leave town!'”

Chaos is the goal. "Sides" don't matter. And if false flags are waved, so much the better.

Not saying he did it, but it would be consistent with his style.

makes people do strange things. I don't know how his ratings are, my first thought went to all those kids of his who must have been terrified.

If these guys are real, and not a plant, then they are jamming a knife into all of us by encouraging the fascists.

I know I’m at risk of No True Scotsman here, but I seriously doubt their existence as a legitimate group as opposed to some cointelpro movement.

He is a racist scumbag doing damage on the airwaves. No wonder whites without a degree are breaking for Republicans.

“Antifa” is a bullshit group meant to create a nonexistent liberal bogeyman.

to distract and start scaring the cult members with Antifa again. This event is about as plausible as Isis terrorists marching with the demon caravan.

You mean like having a White House staffer confront Jim Acosta and then
blame Jim Acosta for the confrontation?

It’s either anarchists, or in the case here, cointelpro fake activists.

Who the hell on our side wants to make Tucker Carlson important enough to even want to bother?

I'm betting every one of the "angry mob" is Republican-owned and -operated.
