Yah, sure, come into our districts. It only reinforces that we voted the right way and will continue to do so.

But hey, thanks for the reminder.

These freaks showed up and “protested” in my generally Republican town of Ruidoso, NM yesterday.

Had their “impeach Trump”, “Free Gaza”, “from the river to the sea Arabs will be free” and “trans-women are real women” signs. Oh, and “protect democracy”

All old freaks.

Mexican nationals were driving by on vacation (resort town) and giving them the finger, which was pretty funny. (You can tell by the license plates.). So much for the theory that Mexicans hate Trump.

Astroturf.

An unhinged Democrat woman shouted down a Republican constituent meeting in Coeur d'Alene, ID in February. After interrupting the speakers and meeting, she refused to leave and pulled the typical leftist tactic of lying down and not cooperating. The private security guards dragged her out of the high school where the meeting was being held. Now she has a massed a big war chest to sue and the latest news is the guards who dragged her out of the meeting were CHARGED with dragging her out of the meeting! This is in North Idaho, no less!

So, if you hold a public meeting and it gets interrupted by a deranged Democrat leftist, there isn't anything you can do! It's little wonder Republicans are concerned about holding public meetings to meet constituents with these leftist lunatics on the loose.

Private security guards charged in Coeur d’Alene town hall dragging

City prosecutors have filed criminal charges against six men involved in a chaotic legislative town hall, including the private security guards who dragged a Post Falls woman out of the Coeur d’Alene High School auditorium.

Paul Trouette, Russell Dunne, Christofer Berg and Jesse Jones, all of whom are associated with the security firm Lear Asset Management, are charged with the misdemeanor crimes of battery and false imprisonment. The five men and Alex Trouette were also cited for security agent uniform violations and security agent duties violations.

Post Falls resident Michael Keller is also charged with battery, a misdemeanor.

The charges stem from Feb. 22, when Teresa Borrenpohl shouted from the audience during a town hall hosted by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris approached Borrenpohl and told her to leave. When she refused, Norris tried to pull her from her seat. He then appeared to gesture to plainclothes security personnel, who dragged Borrenpohl out of the auditorium.

Berg, Dunne, Jones and Paul Trouette “all put their hands on (Borrenpohl) against her will,” police said. Investigators identified Alex Trouette as an accessory because no footage showed him touching other people.

Investigators identified three other members of the public who Norris or security personnel “forcefully touched or physically removed” from the town hall, including a woman who said Paul Trouette touched her breast after pushing her down the hallway and while attempting to turn her around to zip tie her hands.

Police identified Norris as an “involved” party. No criminal charges have been filed against him.

A report prepared by Coeur d’Alene police described footage that showed Norris threaten to arrest a man who attended the town hall, “shoving” the man toward the auditorium exit and pushing him against a wall in the hallway outside.

The leftist CdA Press headline says it was a "dragging." In reality, it was an attempt to maintain order at a public meeting and restore order after a deranged leftist lunatic took the meeting over.

RATS are only going into Republican districts to tell illegals how to avoid being deported.

"You believe The Hill?"

The article is about Democrats going into Republican districts to hold Democrat-run town halls.

Do you believe The Hill is lying about this happening?

Turnout is a specific definition. The % of registered who vote.

Dane county lists in your link as 81% turnout. It was 89% in 2020 per GPT.

Milwaukee 2024 66% and in 2020, per GPT, 83%, notably higher than the state as a whole at 73%. That is the county. The city was 78.5%.

First rule of dealing with Democrats is that they lie.

“The gambit — aimed at districts held by Republicans facing tough reelection contests — was initiated after House GOP leaders advised Republican lawmakers not to meet face-to-face with voters in large, public forums amid the outcry over President Trump’s efforts to remake Washington.”

“The gambit — aimed at districts held by Republicans facing tough reelection contests — was initiated after House GOP leaders advised Republican lawmakers not to meet face-to-face with voters in large, public forums amid the outcry over President Trump’s efforts to remake Washington.”

Republicans set to largely avoid town halls during the congressional recess. As lawmakers head home for two weeks, Democrats are again taunting Republicans about the anger they’ve faced at town halls.

[Mogger]

Why waste time with town halls?

I just want to see the repubs and Trump get what I want done.

Maybe stay in Washington and push legislation through while the dems are in their districts.

Get good speakers on Rogan and other venues where they can't be shouted down.

[Ex-Con777]

Please. Please. Someone attend and ask the rat why they aren’t in El Salvador with their constituents?
