UPDATE: Fox News President Jay Wallace and Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott have responded to the incident.
“The incident that took place at Tucker’s home last night was reprehensible. The violent threats and intimidation tactics toward him and his family are completely unacceptable. We as a nation have become far too intolerant of different points of view. Recent events across our country clearly highlight the need for a more civil, respectful, and inclusive national conversation. Those of us in the media and in politics bear a special obligation to all Americans, to find common ground.”
ORIGINAL POST
A mob of Antifa activists, known as Smash Racism DC, showed at the home of Fox News' Tucker Carlson. The group also had Carlson's address posted on Twitter but it was removed by the social media giant at the request of the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The group chanted various things at Carlson's door, despite no one answering.
They appear to be angry about the host's stance on various policies, including immigration.
BREAKING. Activists ring doorbell, hold protest at the Washington DC area home of @TuckerCarlson, racist, sexist, bigoted FOX News personality. So far no one has opened the door.

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. Tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either.#KnockKnockTucker pic.twitter.com/QlNVKS4oxN
“No borders! No walls! No USA at all!”

Various public figures, including Megyn Kelly, said things like this need to stop. What's happening should be considered a real threat.
This has to stop. Who are we? What are we becoming? @TuckerCarlson is tough & can handle a lot, but he does not deserve this. His family does not deserve this. It’s stomach-turning. https://t.co/5vOmriGKkV
