The group that protested outside a Fox News host’s home is encouraging others to “confront [fascists] at their homes!”

Smash Racism DC, an anti-fascist local group that has also been behind protests of Republican politicians like Ted Cruz, is not backing down after about 20 protesters affiliated with them gathered outside Tucker Carlson’s Northwest D.C. home on Wednesday evening.

Videos shared on social media show one person shouting through a bullhorn that Carlson, who was not home, spread fascism and racism, and his promotion of hate “has led to thousands of people dying … We want you to know, we know where you sleep at night.”

Then, the group chanted, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight, we know where you sleep at night.”

Carlson’s wife, Susie, was home and called 911, according to a Metropolitan Police Department report, saying that she heard “loud banging and pounding on her front door.” Upon seeing a group of people in front of her home, “she retreated to a room in the rear of her home and summoned police,” the report states.

Upon arrival, police found a group of approximately 20 people, and an anarchy symbol spray-painted on the driveway, as well as signs left on cars in the driveway and on the front door. D.C. police have increased patrols in the area as a result of the incident, according to MPD spokesperson Alaina Gertz.

The police listed the incident as a suspected hate crime, with an “anti-political” bias, and have opened a criminal investigation. “We welcome those who come here to exercise their First Amendment rights in a safe and peaceful manner; however, we prohibit them from breaking the law,” D.C. police said in a statement. “Last night, a group of protestors broke the law by defacing private property at a Northwest, D.C. residence. MPD takes these violations seriously, and we will work to hold those accountable for their unlawful actions.”

The protest was immediately condemned by other media figures, ranging from Megyn Kelly to Stephen Colbert to Brit Hume. Smash Racism DC’s Twitter account, which shared a video of the protest as well as Carlson’s address earlier in the evening, was suspended. As of Thursday afternoon, it had not been reinstated.

But in a statement, Smash Racism DC says that their actions were inspired by a surge in right wing violence, including mail bombs sent to “targets of right wing rage and conspiracy theories”; a man who allegedly murdered two grocery store shoppers in Kentucky for being black; and the 11 people killed in a Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, all within the same week.

“We all know why this is happening,” the statement says. “Donald Trump, along with right wing pundits, like Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter, have demonized millions of people, including immigrants, Muslims, ‘diversity’ (code for black), and the left. Carlson has been praised by known Nazis like Richard Spencer and the Hitler fans at the Daily Stormer, and has hired vocal white supremacists to his staff.”

Smash Racism DC says that their protest is part of their effort to protect their communities by “interfering with those who make a platform for hate. So we will go to their homes and their workplaces, and find them in restaurants. We invite others to do the same! Get creative! Assert what should not need to be asserted, the humanity of ordinary people who should not have to live in fear.”

Demonstrators have long protested outside the homes of politicians in the District.

Carlson has previously complained that he cannot go out to dinner in D.C. without getting yelled at. “I don’t feel threatened,” he said. “But having someone scream, ‘Fuck you!’ at a restaurant, it just wrecks your meal.”

But in this instance, Carlson views the demonstration as a threat rather than a protest, he told The Washington Post. “They weren’t protesting anything specific that I had said. They weren’t asking me to change anything,” he said. “They were threatening me and my family and telling me to leave my own neighborhood in the city that I grew up in.”
