Tucker had it coming. That seems to be the consensus among mainstream journalists after Tucker Carlson’s wife and family were threatened by an Antifa mob. Among those sympathizing with Antifa:
Matthew Yglesias [Email him] of VOX.com, who scolded readers who “empathize with the fear of the Carlson family rather than with the fear of his victims” that “you should take a moment to reflect on why that is.” Adam Peck [email him] of Think Progress sneered that it’s a “real shame racists can’t spread their bile in peace anymore.” Brooke Binkowski of Truth or Fiction and Julie Gerstein of Insider, both of whom mocked CNN’s Brian Stelter for condemning Antifa.

Nor is Tucker Carlson’s ordeal over. He is now facing possible criminal charges after one Juan Manuel Granados allegedly insulted his daughter and a confrontation ensued. Granados is another of those immigrants to this country, like Jose Antonio Vargas, who makes his living complaining about racism and discrimination.

He says he was defending his daughter, by Avi Selk, Washington Post, November 11, 2018] Granados is being defended by none other than lawyer Michael Avenatti, who spread rumors about Brett Kavanaugh that were so outrageous that Democrats even blame him for Kavanaugh’s ultimate confirmation to the Supreme Court.

Unless you were there, no one can say with certainty what happened. However, given Avenatti’s record and Granados’s history of grievance-mongering, I believe Tucker Carlson is telling the truth. The Antifa ethos of completely destroying opponents by any means necessary has taken over the American Left, and this includes having a complete indifference to facts. Even when caught on video, the hard Left will deny having committed violent acts or saying certain things, and they are so zealous and deluded they may even believe what they are saying.
