An audience member claiming to be an Army veteran shouted that Representative Edwards did not "get to take away our rights" before being escorted out by law enforcement.

Lovin' it on a lazy Sunday. This is WWF. Ashville, NC is blue and this guy is handling it very well.

Watched Ilian Omar earlier. Disgusting questioners. Worth an hour.

Then being -escorted out by a law enforcement officer’. As if that’s not protocol.

We need to do more of this. It’s exposing more crazy leftists. We gain. Perhaps more high-profile types should take it on the road. I’d start with the VP. Our congressmen could then hold ‘joint’ town halls with neighboring congressmen of the other party. It would probably end up like the Jerry Springer show but our people would stand firm and not lose it like Dan Quayle did.

Typical. This wasan’t a town hall, it was a firing squad.

The liberals prey on people with incorrect information, then stock them into town halls to disrupt communication between the questioner and the individual that might have an answer. So they have no idea what is being done from the horse’s mouth, and aren’t willing to find out. Liberals have been doing this for so long they know almost nothing in the real world.

You could ask them, “How many mayors do you elect?” And when they answer one, you ask why? If you had two doing the same job it might get done faster. Course half the time it might get done wrong. But if you elect twenty, you’d have it made. Somewhere along the line you might realize you are paying nineteen for nothing, but that’s okay. You are providing them a job. Difference is you are the one paying for it, not the government.

Along the same lines, every company that hires people should have to hire healthy people on welfare along with their work force and pay them a consistent wage with their workforce. Think they’ll do that for the little they will do? Typical.

These are paying customers who are entitled to respect. We’ve got the people who can handle it. Our people go on CNN & MSNBC. On their end only an Obama or BJ have the ABILITY to deal with it and they achieved the highest office. Once there the ration their public exposure which is appropriate.

“These are paying customers who are entitled to respect.”

Since when should anyone be entitled to respect? Respect is earned. And if liberal audiences, like this one, ask a question, like they did, and then drown out the answer so it can’t be received, absolutely nothing is exchanged. A liberal trained audience that is not there to exchange ideas is called a mob. That’s not a town hall.

As for liberal representatives, Obama hasn’t been on Fox since 2011, I can’t find any time Chuck Schumer was on Fox, Hilly Clinton and Bernie Sanders last time to Fox was in 2016 at a town hall together in a multi channel broadcast. Biden flat refused. The only one, I would say willing but it really was stupid enough, was Harris and Brett Baer when she screwed the pooch when she did. Harris was thrown under the bus. That’s not rationing, that’s running away from and tossing people to jump off their own cliff. Biden

They have were gummers-mostly. It wasn’t a lion’s den but they were kept in check. Cops and a moderator will keep people in line.

By going on their networks we’re smarter. It’s showing they can’t help themselves or beat us.

Perhaps MTG and Bobert ought to crash districts represented by the Squad. Spur of the moment. Extra security. Ticketed with 66% local republicans and the rest leftists. Sound fair?

“Cops and a moderator will keep people in line.”

They didn’t control anything. During the recording I watched the person chairing the meeting forced to stop talking and restart many times due to the audience talking or yelling above him. That isn’t waiting for an answer, it is trying to talk the chair down. This is an old liberal trick to cut off information. If the info can’t get out, it doesn’t exist is their effort here.

“By going on their networks we’re smarter.”

No, they are hiding behind a tainted media.

“It’s showing they can’t help themselves or beat us.”

If we can’t get our work done, then they have beat us.

Just look under Alynski:

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

RULE 9: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

RULE 10: “If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive.”

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

And this is what happened.
