2020 presidential contender Bernie Sanders faced an aggressive and, at times, outwardly combative audience at the She The People Forum devoted to women of color in Houston on Wednesday, as the self-described democratic socialist struggled to convince attendees of his commitment to minority and underprivileged communities. The tense moments underscored the challenges Sanders' campaign still faces despite its frontrunner status. The 77-year-old Vermont senator, long a champion for progressive causes, has sought to win over voters who turned out in massive numbers to support former President Barack Obama. In a particularly striking moment, host Aimee Allison asked Sanders what he...

Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III visited the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. today in order to give a lecture on Freedom of Speech. The attorney general–or perhaps the law school administration–has a somewhat picayune concept of that notion, however, as over 100 student protesters were barred from attending the event. Those students had initially signed up for the event, and then received invites, only to later have those invitations revoked.

Some constituents began shouting, “Pray on your own time” and “let’s get on with it” at the chaplain while others chanted, “Separation of church and state As a local veteran took the stage to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the crowd continued shouting, “We want answers” and “Do your job,” National Review reported.

At an pro-gun rally today, two heckler's rushed the stage as GOP Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz addressed the crowd. Cruz handled the situation with the calm and cool that we have come to expect from the Texas Senator. "What made everybody so weird and sad that they had to come out here," the heckler said as he stood on stage. "Why is everybody so excited about guns?" Cruz calmly approached the man and placed his hand on his shoulder. "Sir, who are you and what're you doing here?" Cruz asked. "Are you a little bit confused?" At that point, security...

I was watching Ted Cruz ar the Values Summit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvL4sV_oTlQ He was heckled several times by RINO/DNC plants inthe audience and handled them with class and even turned it around on the dummies.

An overall summary from today’s Value Voters Summit conference is coming later, but this deserved a separate post. Senator Ted Cruz didn’t need a podium today when he spoke about conservative ideals at today’s Value Voters conference at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. He also didn’t need a bodyguard. When a handful of protestors showed up to interrupt his speech, the Texas senator employed one of his own state’s mottos and showed them “nobody messes” with conservatives. I counted at least six times that hecklers shouted questions at Cruz regarding his stance on immigration. Each time, the senator...
