.@louiscasiano from @FoxNews reached out to ask if we are actually planning on contaminating the hotel rooms of Proud Boys with bedbugs. The short answer is no, we don't even know if that's possible. But here's our full response.
That post was clearly satire. We have no idea how one would actually go about the activity that was suggested.
What is not satire are the numerous death threats that were sent to us by Trump supporters in the lead up to the November election.
Here are a few tweets depicting detailed and credible death threats that you didn’t ask for comment on:

Each of those tweets includes the email address of the sender. We wish you luck in reaching out to them for comment.
Further, the hate crimes committed by the Proud Boys during their last visit to DC were not satire. A marauding band of drunk white nationalists stormed through our city, tearing down and burning religious symbols declaring respect for Black lives.

Yup. They have no interest in public safety. Inspector Glover is doing everything he can to support @realDonaldTrump's coup. @MayorBowser get your cops in line. pic.twitter.com/VAAu58v7N5
