Another Fox News host has been harassed in public because she works for the right-leaning network, she announced over the weekend.
Kat Timpf said on Nov. 10 that she had to leave “an establishment” because she works for Fox.
“Was just ran out of an establishment because of where I work,” she wrote on Twitter.
I was just ran out of an establishment because of where I work. Chewed out, abused. But I guess that’s the norm now.

“Chewed out, abused. But I guess that’s the norm now.”
Timpf, referencing support she was shown by people after the incident, took to Twitter on Sunday to say, “Thanks, everyone.” In a statement on Monday, she said it’s the third time she’s been harassed over working for Fox.
“None of these people have even been able to tell me what exactly I have said or done myself that they have a problem with,” she said. “I think it’s disgusting and I shouldn’t have to worry about going out in public because of where I work.”

Timpf Ambushed
Timpf, who regularly appears on the “Greg Gutfeld Show,” said that she was interrupted while eating dinner a few months ago and someone told her she “was ruining the country. She was also the victim of an assault in 2017.
She said she was at an event for a friend’s campaign when a man came up to her and dumped a bottle of water on her.
“He came up from behind me, tapped me on the shoulder, dumped [water] on my head and whipped the rest of it directly into my face. My eyes were burning. It was right into my face,” she told The Hill.
“I was there to do something for my friend. And this guy just comes up, it was very clear that he was there because he knew I was there ahead of time. He was coming there to come after me, which is the most terrifying thing about all of it.
Carlson
The news comes less than a week after the wife of Fox News host Tucker Carlson was harrassed by far-left extremist group Smash Racism DC, who went to their family home in Washington shouting threatening slogans and ramming their front door. Carlson said the door had been cracked.
He said that his wife hid in the pantry, locked the door, and called the police. He was at Fox’s office at the time.
The vandalism is being investigated as a possible hate crime. Carlson said what happened won’t dissuade him. “I don’t think I should be threatened in our house. I think I should fight back, and I plan to,” he told Fox News. “I’m not going to be bullied and intimidated.”
People feel like they have to shut up. That they can't say what they think because they'll be punished. This has a chilling effect on everyone's ability to speak and think freely. pic.twitter.com/YOAtTAhMNc
