Erin Hawley, who is married to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), has detailed the “frightening” night when a band of protestors “terrorized” her and her newborn baby at home in what was described by the agitators as a peaceful candlelight vigil. Hawley said the night-time residential picketing had crossed the line of being protected by the First Amendment.

“The assault on our home, followed by weeks of personal attacks on our family, are not civil discourse,” Hawley wrote in an op-ed for Fox News, the first time she has spoken at length about what happened at her Virginia home the evening of Jan. 4.
