Why is this thirst for intimidation and violence becoming more commonplace?<\/b>
\nIn the early evening following the midterm elections, Fox News host Tucker Carlson\u2019s wife was home alone when she suddenly became startled by a loud thumping at her door. The thumping came from a group of Antifa radicals, whose desire it was to strike terror into the hearts of Carlson\u2019s family.
Susan Carlson ran upstairs as the mob that CNN refers to as \u201cprotesters\u201d screamed disgusting threats at the Carlson residence, spray-painted the driveway and continued to try to force entry through the front door, which they broke.
The only thing seemingly missing from this display of intimidation and hatred were burning tiki torches. While the radical left seems preoccupied with labeling everyone that disagrees with their political views as white supremacist Nazis, including Israel-loving Middle Eastern women such as myself, threatening displays like this seem awfully similar to the days of the KKK burning crosses on the lawns of blacks they wanted to leave town.
That was the message these radicals wanted to send to Tucker Carlson, along with his wife and children, who thank God were not home at the time: leave town and shut up.
As someone who has had my own personal address posted publicly by a leftist reporter, the thought of a mother of four hiding in her upstairs closet fearing for her life sends chills down my spine, as it should any decent human being.
How did we get here?
Why is this thirst for intimidation and violence becoming more commonplace?
Let\u2019s take a trip down memory lane:
Those were the exact words of Congresswoman Maxine Waters at a rally in June 2018. Waters then doubled down on her calls for intimidation and harassment in an MSNBC interview, declaring that she has \u201cno sympathy\u201d for Trump supporters.
CNN bravely came to Waters\u2019 defense when it reported that President Trump \u201cmisconstrued\u201d the congresswoman\u2019s words.
Support the president, and it\u2019s open season on you. That\u2019s the message of not only the black-masked Antifa cowards who attempted to force entry into Tucker Carlson\u2019s home, but Rep. Maxine Waters, and increasingly, the new Democrat party.
Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder recently corrected Michelle Obama\u2019s notion that \u201cwhen they go low, we go high,\u201d referring of course to anyone who didn\u2019t support her husband\u2019s political agenda.
Or how about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton\u2019s statement,
There is a disturbing dehumanization coming from the very heart of the Democrat party, while dangerous radicals continue to take them at their word, blocking traffic in the streets, chanting obscenities toward the president and his supporters, and even engaging in violence and destruction of property.
This dangerous trend should\u2019ve been stopped years ago when it started.
On the same day that CNN \u201creporter\u201d Jim Acosta threw a tantrum over not being able to interrupt and talk over the president of the United States at a news conference, Tucker Carlson\u2019s wife was hiding in a closet, calling 911, as a leftist mob gathered outside her home.
It\u2019s time for local and federal law enforcement to put Antifa on notice that their domestic terrorism will not be tolerated any longer.
It\u2019s time for big tech platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to give as much diligence to snuffing out true hate from the left as they do political opposition from the right.
Waters should have been removed from her position by the Ethics Committee for her incitement to harm her political opponents. Sadly, the GOP \u2014 which will soon be in the House minority \u2014 failed to even investigate the matter. Consequence? Say hello to the new head of the House Financial Services Committee.
Tolerance for terrorizing those you disagree with is not tolerance. It\u2019s complicity. If those who fan the flames of radicalism are not held accountable, we can expect more threats, more mobs and more violence.<\/p>\n
