.@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.
We noticed that your outlet did not provide any reporting on that egregious hate crime even though the head of the Proud Boys claimed responsibility for the act to numerous news outlets in DC and around the world.
People coming to DC on January 6th should make sure that they comply with local public health guidelines by getting tested for COVID within 72 hours of their visit (we're hearing local hotels will be requiring a record of a negative COVID test in the past 72 hrs upon checkin),
wearing masks, and engaging in social distancing. But if you’re coming DC to try to undermine the outcome of the 2020 election you should probably just stay home.
Trump lost and attacking churches won’t change that.
