Left-wing protesters showed up this morning outside DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielson’s home and shouted as she left for work, and some on the left are applauding an idea to do something similar outside the building that houses Fox News:
There should be a march on Fox News HQ — all of this hateful propaganda is being broadcast from an office building in midtown Manhattan. Activists surrounded & shut down an ICE office in Portland. The same can and should be done to Fox News in NYC.

It was good enough for a retweet from former Obama adviser Dan Pfeiffer:
Just to be clear, @danpfeiffer, you support sending street mobs to surround & shut down TV stations? pic.twitter.com/89Jk81Wcs7

Presumably the attempt to shut down Fox News would be all in the name of saving the 1st Amendment, or something:
These people have gone insane. The outrage mob has clearly gotten out of control, and it will not end well.
If you convince yourself that your political opponents are evil, you can justify almost anything. https://t.co/wdfjpDzyMu

And it’s far from over.
Feels like we're crossing some sort of threshold when one well-known media figure calls for sending street mobs to shut down a media org on the other side. https://t.co/eMWSl86j6a

These are the people calling us fascists. Self awareness is nonexistent at this point https://t.co/2fO1pGK2hT

A month from now we're all just going to be standing outside of each other's empty houses, yelling at the furniture inside. https://t.co/OoG5OwSFy4
