MSNBC Claims Town Hall Crowd Yelling For Hegseth's Head Are 'Republican Constituents'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/30/2025 4:06:55 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend featured a clip from a town hall in Indiana's 5th Congressional District. In November, Trump and Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz carried the district handily: by 16 and 18 points, respectively.

Yet the crowd overwhelmingly and raucously cheered the suggestion that the congresswoman should demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's resignation, given the Signal chat that mistakenly included a journalist.

Co-host Symone Sanders claimed the cheering people were district "constituents," and co-host Michael Steele took it a step further, saying they were Republicans. The show provided no evidence to support either statement. Did MSNBC make any effort to confirm the residence or registration of the crowd members?

Was this an authentic grassroots outpouring? We’re getting a whiff of astroturf!

The few hundred people watching the broadcast must have been shocked to hear that. And they will certainly tell all their friends.

The so called news is in high gear trying to jam a narrative that they want to fly. The stupid is strong in them and theirs.

They are NOT Republicans, they are paid between 20-40 bucks an hour I saw the ad on craigslist, asking for people to show up at these town halls to pretend to be Republicans..Republican support for Trump is at 95 percent yet Im supposed to believe the 5 percent are the ones showing up at these town halls LOL they are Dems you can hear them spew the same far left talking points and I tell ya, they are scared sh*tless of Hegseth my question is WHY..from the beginning the left has wanted Hegseth gone, why, that is the question..he must be very effective for them wanting him gone so badly meanwhile its fine for Biden’s regime to have 13 servicemembers slaughtered in Afghanistan but God forbid you have a few folks having a CHIT CHAT on a signal app the HORROR

Interesting that it was that neo-con snake walz that f’d up and yet they are calling for hegseth’s head. Walz was either incompetent or a traitor. Trump was warned about walz being a neo-con snake.

Firstly notice the crowd is nearly ENTIRElY female. Likely many Dems as well.

Secondly I’m a Hoosier and as the video says most of the crowd was from the Northern Side of Indy. I’ve been up there and that is one of the richest areas of the state. Likely that room is full of aging soccer moms and yuppie chicks. Usually liberal or at the most RINO type republicans.

Carmel for example is up there. It has streets full of “artsy fartsy” little art stores and eateries. Reminds me a little of Carmel by the Sea in California….I mean minus the Ocean, and beautiful climate and gorgeous scenery.

Waltz claims that he never talked to Goldberg I dont buy that because Goldberg claims they have talked on numerous occasions..well this is a simple fix, Waltz needs to release his phone records, that will show if he’s ever talked to Goldberg either on his cell or home number

Bingo! My sister lived in Carmel (Indiana), and you nailed that place perfectly.

It has been an open secret for decades that Goldberg is a Mossad/CIA agent. He began as a prison guard at Ktzi'ot Prison, an infamous Israeli institution known for torture of inmates.

This all geared for this week’s elections in Florida and Wisconsin. They are all in on the color rev.
