Congressman Walks Off Stage During Oroville Town Hall (video)
CBS Sacramento ^ | 4/17/2017 | Drew Bollea

OROVILLE (CBS13) — The boos and shouts of displeasure started during the introduction of Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Richvale) at his town hall meeting in Oroville.

For nearly two hours, the crowd at the State Theater shouted down responses by the congressman.

“I’m appalled,” said Linda Agee, a LaMalfa supporter.

“It’s very enlightening and disturbing to experience this first hand,” said Denise Culley, who was attending her first town hall event.

The Oroville Dam and spillway was brought up just once. One man asked a question about why nothing was done sooner to the emergency spillway. LaMalfa’s answer was cut short by the crowd. (snip)

“I think the immaturity is astounding,” said Greyson Reynolds.

Reynolds is an Oroville High School junior. He says he was at Monday’s meeting to thank LaMalfa for holding a similar Q & A at his high school. The atmosphere according to Reynolds was much different.

“Night and day. It’s hard to believe that these people are grown adults and those people, the people at my high school are children. You’d think it was the opposite,” said Reynolds.

Here’s a novel idea: So-called conservatives need to get off their fat butts, attend these meetings and defend their representatives.

I am convinced that this is a highly organized method being used by the left, to infiltrate and disrupt all of these local meetings. Also to demand these types of meetings for any congressmen or senators who are not already holding them. And sadly, even the local media gets on board to suggest that the GOP office-holders do not care and are not listening to “their constituents”.

We NEVER saw this kind of hostility at these gatherings until the past few months, that I can remember, anyway. Now it is the rule, rather than the exception.

The left is very organized and dedicated to taking this nation down. They will not give up. It will only escalate and get bloody eventually. Remember 20th century Europe.

“Paid agitators?”

Maybe not.

Maybe they live down stream from the dam and make their livings downstream. So their families, homes and work are in peril with this dam that has not been maintained properly.

Moonbeam is not allowing the officials to open the books on the status of the Dam before and after the near disaster.

Moonbean might have been tarred, feathered and ridden out on a rail if he had been there.

The masses of Republican voters are getting real angry with the Republican in both the Senate and House. They are totally worthless do nothing and spend very little time on the Health Care and Taxes. We were F-—ed. Only President Trump is doing anything we asked.

Not only defend them, but take out the rent-a-mob trash leftists that invade and disrupt these events.

I hate the Democrats. I didn’t used to but go ahead and mark the time on this post because this moment is when I gave up trying to be civil with them.

Back in the early 70s when I was working a night club in Manhattan I had a group come in discussing how they had just shouted down the speaker at an open forum on some topic or another. They were very proud of themselves, and you could feel the hatred dripping from them.

Could be.

I just know they are doing this all over the country with paid screamers.

Astroturfing to make it look like the whole country is up in arms. But the reality is that the Rats lost big and there’s nothing they can do about it except throw tantrums.

Why all of a sudden are these idiot Republicans so determined to hold town halls when they know what is going on with these paid democrat agitators?

I know that they are doing that in California and Republican Congressmen have had to leave.
