As masked leftists use clubs to shut down free speech at Berkeley and elsewhere, Democrats have unfortunately been reticent to condemn the activity. But Antifa violence is not the only kind of condemnable disruptive activity. Democrats should also disavow the organized campaign to harass Republican congressmen and stop Republican town halls.
One group in the thick of this battle is “Indivisible.” The group was founded by a former staffer for Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett, and its COO, Matt Traidi, is the research coordinator for the Service Employees International Union. Indivisible provides these instructions on how to prevent other town hall attendees from asking questions: “Don’t give up the mic until you’re satisfied with the answer. If you’ve asked a hostile question … keep a firm hold on the mic. No staffer in their right mind wants to look like they’re physically intimidating a constituent, so they will back off.”
Not content to interfere with town halls, Indivisible has also gone to the homes of Republican congressmen. They have targeted swing districts such as those of Rep. John Faso (R-N.Y.) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif). About 200 protesters showed up at Issa's home to harass him for not holding town hall meetings.
But Indivisible isn’t the only organization causing problems. TakeActionMN showed up at Rep. Jason Lewis’ (R-Minn.) house during the August recess. “It’s gotten so bad that unruly protestors recently invaded my family’s home and personal property, frightening neighbors who then called the local police," Lewis told me. "The group [that] organized the trespass has not only refused to apologize, but hasn't ruled out doing it again.”
Indivisible plans to disrupt town halls and then go to Republican congressmen’s homes and offices to protest the lack of town halls. . . .

They will never do it...
Demoncrats will renounce themselves? Doubtful. Arrest them for sedition, they’ll give their typical vacant apology.
I know in my congressional district it is not only the Democrats who are asking questions.
GOPe John Carter of Texas will not meet with conservatives.
Indivisible should avoid Wyoming. You get shot for trespassing in Wyoming and liberals get shot TWICE!
Yeah, they’ll do that about the same time moderate Muslims do— like never.
They knocked a 71 year old Dana Rohrbacher staffer unconcious during one of their “protests” a while back.
Why would they do that?
