Sen. Josh Hawley claimed his DC home was vandalized by 'Antifa scumbags

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

but activists say he mischaracterized their 'peaceful' protest

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley in a tweet Monday said his wife and daughter were terrorized by a group of people outside his Northern Virginia home. He called the demonstrators "Antifa scumbags," but those who protested say they conducted a peaceful "vigil."

"Tonight while I was in Missouri, Antifa scumbags came to our place in DC and threatened my wife and newborn daughter, who can't travel," Hawley said. "They screamed threats, vandalized, and tried to pound open our door."

But the protesters who showed up outside the residence tell a different story.

The gathering of about 15 people was organized by ShutDownDC, according to The Washington Post, a group that has organized other protests in recent months, including a headline-making "noise demonstration" outside the home of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in August.

The organizers told The Washington Post they didn't vandalize Hawley's home and said they never knocked on Hawley's door, instead choosing to ring the doorbell while they placed a copy of the US Constitution at the door.

Hawley is a liar.

2. I want to read the police report, and hear the 911 call.

If his wife and baby were threatened and terrorized, and their place vandalized, surely his wife called the police. Right?

10. My friend was one of the organizers leading the chants.

They were holding "A candlelight vigil last night at 7:00 at Senator Hawley's house calling on him to protect the Constitution or to resign from the Senate." Here's the livestream video from last night:

According to my friend:

"It does break a civil norm to protest at someone's home. In this case, we felt it necessary to communicate urgently because of the egregious nature of his actions which are threatening our constitution and democracy for potentially generations. Can we imagine the carnage if we end our tradition of peaceful transfer of power? Some things we did to limit our perceived threat. We did not carry guns, we used candle lights, we chose a reasonable hour 7pm, we stayed on public property (except for a few people who rang his doorbell and left a copy of the constitution on the porch), we used chalk on the sidewalk, no verbal threats, we damaged no property, we didn't use profanity, we only stayed for 30 minutes, everything was professionally videotaped, we communicated civilly with the police, we were a small group of about 15. We did use bull horns and shouted and called on him to support the constitution or resign. Protesting at homes should not be the norm, but for people with extraordinary power engaging in egregious conduct, i would invite all of you to be prepared to "get in some good trouble".
