On his show last night, Tucker Carlson battled an Antifa activist over free speech and political violence. Antifa - or "anti-fascist" - groups have made headlines in recent months for violently protesting conservative or alt-right events, perhaps most infamously Milo Yiannopoulos' speech at UC-Berkeley in February. Mike Isaacson, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and founder of Smash Racism D.C., argued that Antifa activists have the right to respond to violence with violence. Carlson said Isaacson is "blurring the lines" between physical violence and speech with which he disagrees. "You're conflating violence with ideas," Carlson said. "If I have not raised my hand to strike you, you have no right to strike me."
