Activists launched threats outside the Fox News' Tucker Carlson house on Wednesday night.
Carlson said he was at the Fox News office in Washington working on his opening monologue when neighbors sent him a text message about the commotion outside his home. His wife of 22 years did not contact him because she did not want to distract him before he went on the air, he said.
The group finally dispersed. It was not clear if there were arrests.
Carlson said he is accustomed to being confronted in public and has no interest in playing the role of victim, but said his wife and four children should not be exposed to aggression while they are at home.
