Tucker Carlson’s biggest targets defend him after protest outside home

Fighting Tucker Carlson’s ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don’t do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters.

This behavior is way over the line. Going to someone’s home, breaking their door, and terrorizing their family is unacceptable. It’s also extremely counterproductive if your interest is actually in reducing his influence. https://t.co/6isCJZIwvC

Don’t like someone on TV? Turn it off, change channel, let their advertisers know, tweet them ur opinion. But come on, don’t show up at their home & scare their kids. -> “They were threatening me and my family’: Tucker Carlson’s home targeted by protesters https://t.co/IiOIUz0G1F

ON TUCKER CARLSON: I’ve spent 20 years fighting the destructive lies and spin of rightwing media but showing up at @TuckerCarlson‘s home and trying to intimidate his family is NOT what being a Democrat or progressive (or American) is about. Especially when media are under threat.

Tucker Carlson is a terrible person. Also, if we want to challenge his racism and turn him into the pariah he should be, this – making him@the perceived victim of a left wing mob – is a really bad strategy. https://t.co/Wz9dqGKzQy

I honestly cannot empathize with Tucker Carlson’s wife at all — I agree that protesting at her house was tactically unwise and shouldn’t be done — but I am utterly unable to identify with her plight on any level. https://t.co/1YRAY8DuWC

Do I think Tucker Carlson is a good person? No.

But do I think Tucker should be able to go home, spend time with his family, and sleep at night without being hounded by unruly mobs? Also no, fuck that guy.

Look, Tucker Carlson can save his family from this harassment at any time by surrendering himself to his local antifa for reeducation. https://t.co/zWckjyFip9

Tucker Carlson’s job is to incite hate crimes against people who can’t afford to barricade themselves in their mansions

Tucker Carlson’s life work is to make it easier for the police to drag tens of thousands of people from their homes put them and their children in cages and send them back to often certain death in their countries you do not have to defend his doorbell getting pushed in rudely. pic.twitter.com/zTBMHUnfSO
