One protester, a Black man, using a megaphone, said, “You’re full of lies, you’re all racists and Nazis you’re Zionists, you’re KKK, Proud Boys…”
“Black people are dying and you’re not talking about that,” added the protester.
Another protester held up a picture of Fox News host Laura Ingraham addressing the 2016 Republican National Convention, where Donald Trump was nominated to be the party’s presidential candidate. He went on to win the general election against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Like many of her Fox News colleagues, Ingraham is a staunch Trump supporter.

The protester who burned the American flag and the picture of Carlson was also seen lighting a smoke signal. He called for Fox News to “stop [villanizing] us” or else — he threatened — there would be “real smoke.”
Moments later, the protester, while holding the smoke signal, said into the megaphone, “Whose city?” A couple other protesters responded, “Our city!”
