'Night of rage' protests erupt into violence across the country: Fox News HQ targeted, fireworks shot at police, pro-life woman attacked, journalists assaulted



Protests erupted across the country following the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. In major U.S. cities, pro-abortion protesters violently clashed with law enforcement on Friday.

Washington, D.C.

Antifa-linked pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge vowed to undertake a "night of rage" after the Supreme Court's ruling on allowing states to make the final call about abortion. Black bloc protesters wielding umbrellas marched through the streets of Washington, D.C.

The group chanted slogans such as, "If abortion ain’t safe, neither are you," "If we don’t get it, burn it down," "Every city, every town, burn the precinct to the ground," and "F*** the church, f*** the state, we won't let them decide our fate." The protesters burned American flags.

Footage from the protests were provided by Fox News associate producer Lisa Bennatan, Post Millennial correspondent Hannah Nighting, Washington Examiner's Matt Miller, and TPUSA contributor Drew Hernandez.

Pro-abortion activists are protesting outside Nancy Pelosi's house accusing her of being 'complicit' in destroying abortion rights



Pro-abortion activists turned their vitriol on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and blamed her and the Democratic leadership for the expected overturn of the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.

A small group of protesters demonstrated outside Pelosi's palatial mansion in San Francisco, California, on Tuesday.

Video on social media showed a leader of the group vocalizing their fury.

"We're here because Nancy Pelosi and the whole leadership of the Democratic party has been complicit, complicit with the fascist Republican party that warns to not only only eliminate abortion rights, but gay marriage, trans rights, and a whole slew, a whole slew of rights!" said the protest leader on her bullhorn.

The seven protesters tried to boo loudly.

The protest appeared to be organized by a far-left pro-abortion group called "Ruth Sent Us" that demanded Pelosi investigate the Supreme Court justices in order to "save" abortion. They accused her of being "careless and cowardly" in her leadership and blamed her for not doing enough to prevent Brett Kavanaugh from being nominated to the Supreme Court.

The accusations against Pelosi paralleled those made against President Joe Biden by many on social media who accused him of not doing enough to protect abortion rights.

Left-wing protesters have also targeted the homes of several members of the Supreme Court for protests, including those of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, meanwhile called on other Democrats to pass laws and file lawsuits at the state level to protect abortion ahead of the Roe. v. Wade decision expected to be made by the Supreme Court in several months.

This is not the first time Pelosi's home has been a targeted by left-wing protesters. In Jan. 2021, protesters vandalized her home with graffiti and left a severed pig's head on her sidewalk.

Here's a livestream recording of the protest:

Ted Cruz compares protests outside Justice Samuel Alito's home to Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol



Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said that the protests outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home were just as bad as the riot that took place on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol.

Protests have unfolded outside conservative justices' private homes following the leak of a draft opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade.

What are the details?

Cruz made the remarks during a Monday night discussion with Fox News' Sean Hannity.

The Texas lawmaker said that the media were also engaging in what amounted to blatant hypocrisy by refusing to express outrage over the pro-choice protests taking place outside the conservative-leaning justices' homes.

"It's complete hypocrisy, you see this in the corporate media, you see this among Democrats," Cruz said. "On January 6 of 2021, you had tens of thousands of people peacefully protesting, and yet the corporate media and Democrats slander them with the made-up term 'insurrectionist,'" Cruz told Hannity. "And yet in this instance, they are not willing to call off their goons even now, even now, as this has the potential to escalate and escalate further."

Cruz added that the protests are "the latest manifestation of just how extreme" and "just how radical" the Democratic Party has become.

He added, "Today's Democratic Party believes in violence, they believe in mob rule, they believe in intimidation, just like Marxists and communists, they're willing to burn our institutions to the ground to get what they want. ... Once again, they're putting politics above everything else, including people's lives. And these radicals are inviting violence directed at our judiciary, and directed at the rule of law."

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said that the Biden administration supported the demonstrators' right to protest, but noted that any "violence, threats, and intimidation" had "no place in political discourse."
