When a mob of left-wing Antifa activists descended Wednesday night on Fox News personality Tucker Carlson’s D.C. home, it signaled a new phase in the political violence and angry confrontations that now are targeting the news media.
Political violence has been rising in the U.S. since 2012, according to the Global Terrorism Database. Increasingly aggressive activists have pushed political confrontation to the limit since 2016, accosting Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials in restaurants and in the halls of Congress. And now they’re going after conservative journalists at their homes.
“Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night!” the activists allied with Antifa chanted outside Mr. Carlson’s home.
Antifa is short of anti-fascist, though the group has anarchist leanings and targets anyone perceived as not in step with a far-left agenda.
“Here’s the problem. I have four children,” Mr. Carlson, whose wife was home alone during the disturbance, told Fox News. “I never thought twice about leaving them home alone, but this is the reaction because this group doesn’t like my TV show.”
On Capitol Hill, the overheated political debate has lawmakers increasingly working under a threat of violence.
Capitol police say they saw a surge in protective details assigned to lawmakers earlier in the fall, when senators were facing hallway protests during the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
Security details were assigned to at least two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Jeff Flake of Arizona.
Security details typically are assigned only to members of leadership.
Senators have mostly been away from Washington since the Kavanaugh confirmation, and it’s not clear whether enhanced security will still be the norm.

That would work in Texas. In DC? You’d probably go to jail for something.
I’m not accustomed to an urban environment.
Answer: Mossberg 590A1s + lotsa 00 buck
The right 75,000 would be. With the right leaders.
Mossberg has made a name for itself in past 10 years.
They will get crushed like insects.
Do you have a good source for that? The only thing that poped up was from a UK source and it doesn’t seem like a definet fact as it is claimed to be from a confidential report.
I have real good sources for this from the inside.
They knew Tucker was live on TV and that his family was home alone.
That’s extra evil.
excellent
IMO CWII is guaranteed now and actually, may have started Tuesday.
And the gun grabbing loons wonder why a homeowner could possibly need an AR-15 with a 30 round mag. This is why!! When people have to protect themselves from mobs; they need the right tools to do it with.
Yep
they get to go first if they want that.
Soros and his henchmen need to be taken care of overtly. I’m seeing the baptism scene from The Godfather.
Capiche!
There is a big, huge, chunk of America and Americans who will DIRT ANTIFA if they become a threat to them...
And that is exactly how it should be when domestic terrorists become a threat to your life.
DIRT=Dead right there...
My best advice to ANTIFA is for them to stay in their big blue cities where they are protected by liberal politicians.
If they venture out please have them bring their own body bags, they will need them for the trip home.
Those on the right, the real working tax paying Americans are tired of your shit and more than willing to put you in your place. 6 feet down.
I have no theory, but we should make sure that they are focusing enough resources and efforts on investigations.
Your reply reminded me to add some keywords to the post. Thanks!
They’re each both Nazi and communist.
1. We Americans see both as being the same thing as far as we’re concerned. That’s the most important reason. Both are foreign-minded trash desiring tyrannical government. One is as bad as the other.
2. Both Nazis and commies were hard socialists.
3. The Antifa criminals would like to have the government own all businesses, land, etc. (commies), but they’re willing to settle for the government controlling all of the resources for a while (Nazis).
