Hypocrisy, thy name is DNC.

I guess you only know it if your sources tell you.

Quote:Figures on the left and right quickly denounced the Antifa group's action. Former Fox host Megyn Kelly tweeted: "This has to stop... He does not deserve this. His family does not deserve this. It's stomach-turning."


"This is not okay," CNN host SE Cupp wrote. "By the political left, the political right or the deranged. Don't do this."

"Late Show" host Stephen Colbert weighed in as well, saying "Fighting Tucker Carlson's ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don't do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters."

One of the leaders of Media Matters, a liberal media monitoring group that opposes Fox, also condemned the incident.

"This behavior is way over the line," senior fellow Matthew Gertz tweeted. "Going to someone's home, breaking their door, and terrorizing their family is unacceptable. It's also extremely counterproductive if your interest is actually in reducing his influence."

Max Boot, a conservative columnist and CNN commentator, said he agreed with Gertz.

"I think Tucker is a terrible influence on modern America but that doesn't justify harassing him at home," Boot tweeted. "Go high, not low."

I do not subscribe to, nor read, social media. So that source is beyond me. I can tell you that while currently staying on an overseas military base, the main source for television news (a much more widely disseminated source than social media) is the Armed Forces Network. In order to maintain balance, AFN constantly rotates networks on their news channel; Fox, CNN, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and so on. In the days following the attack on Carlson's residence, in the segments of all the news networks I watched, not only did no other network outside of Fox condemn the attack, not one mentioned it. Not even smarmy Rachel Maddow.

Now, I'm not saying that perhaps the attack wasn't mentioned during another broadcast or segment I didn't watch, but I can tell you that there appeared to be no rush to even acknowledge an attack on the home of one of their colleagues. As far as I know, there hasn't been a condemnation from any of the dem leadership. So while RINO SE Cupp and Media Matters cluck their tongues, the people with the real influence to discourage such acts remain quiet.
