Chaffetz: Town Hall Crowd Was Paid to 'Bully and Intimidate'

Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Friday said a group of people booing him at a town hall meeting last week was "more of a paid attempt to bully and intimidate" than a reflection of the feelings of his constituents, the Deseret News reports.

"You could see it online a couple days before, a concerted effort in part to just cause chaos," Chaffetz said Friday. "Democrats are in disbelief that they have nothing but flailing and screaming to deal with this."

The Utah Republican held a town hall meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, last Thursday where he was heckled and booed by the crowd after he said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee would not be pursuing any conflict issues concerning President Donald Trump. About 1,000 were in attendance.

But lying Ted insists that Trump causes people to be violent.
There are Freepers who to this day will not demand he retract that assertion, they are still on the #NeverTrump bandwagon.

If these were paid thugs that would mean both Ted Cruz and these Freepers embrace communist thugs when it serves their purpose.

Twitter showed a 10 year old girl read some questions right off democrat talking points. Cowards for parents filling her with disrespect and hate at an early age. You know the "and do you believe in science...I do" democrat asshat statements. From a 10 year old.

More than half the crowd was cheering, yelling and carrying on. A pathetic display. I suspect most were government employees/teachers. They and the SEIU union are the foot soldiers of the democrat party.

Spot on. They use the Tea Party repeatedly in the “Indivisible Guide” as an example to follow after. See these threads:

But they utterly fail to comprehend the Tea Party.

these congressmen and senators all need to have their people do a perimeter check for buses and cars with out of state plates before the meetings

then ask the RATS where they are from and if they came on a bus or out of state car
