#KnockKnockTucker: Tucker Carlson of FOX News and Daily Caller gets home demo against promoting hate

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 11/08/2018 - 02:17

On the 7th of November, Tucker Carlson of both FOX News and the Daily Caller got an anti-Fascist home demo protesting his role in peddling Trump's racist hate. Trump's brand of hate as promoted by the far-right media is widely believed to be responsible for the recent wave of right-wing terror attacks in the US.

Since the end of October Erdogen's fascist/Islamist regime in Turkey hs again been shelling and bombing northern Syria. One of these bombings killed a small child on her way to school. On the 5th of November, Kurdish activists and their supporters showed up at the US Department of State. US action to end the attacks could be as simple as an ultimatum to Turkey to stop the bombing or face a US arms embargo.

For years developer Geoff Griffis and his friends at CityPartners LLC have been trying to evict the tenants of the Congress Heights apartments in SE DC so a "mixed-use" condo and office building could be put up over the Congress Heights Metro. For years these plans have been stalled by tenant protests and activism. Griffis has had protesters at his house and WMATA refused to sell him a key parcel. Now, on the night of Nov 1 to Nov 2, one of the three buildings has burned. Tenants are urgently requesting assistance to replace possessions and repair fire damage.(GoFundMe page) Surely CityPartners LLC will give them nothing-the fire is just too convenient for their plans.
