A group serving as a central hub of information for congressional town halls was founded by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer and its parent company is located at the same address as an organization funded by liberal billionaire George Soros. Democrats have insisted that recent town hall outbursts against Republican politicians occurred organically, likening them to the Tea Party, while President Donald Trump yesterday tweeted that the "so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous occasions, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!" The Town Hall Project, a group that serves as a one-stop shop...

That's not cheese you're smelling in the Wisconsin air. It's Astroturf. Friday's Morning Joe played an extended clip from a town hall held by Republican Congressman Bryan Steil in his 1st Congressional District of Wisconsin (Paul Ryan's old seat in the southeast corner of the state). Steil was unfailingly polite, to the point of saying that he welcomed disagreement. But that didn't earn him an ounce of grace from the audience, which was raucously hostile to him, with repeated booing and jeering. He couldn't get through his first sentence aired without being interrupted by the Democrat crowd. Every single comment...

Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend featured a clip from a town hall in Indiana's 5th Congressional District. In November, Trump and Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz carried the district handily: by 16 and 18 points, respectively. Yet the crowd overwhelmingly and raucously cheered the suggestion that the congresswoman should demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's resignation, given the Signal chat that mistakenly included a journalist. Co-host Symone Sanders claimed the cheering people were district "constituents," and co-host Michael Steele took it a step further, saying they were Republicans. The show provided no evidence to support either statement. Did MSNBC make any...

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - As Republican lawmakers are being discouraged to hold town halls, Rep. Mike Flood (R-Neb.) powered on as the crowd chanted, “tax the rich.” “So your proposal to solve this is to tax the rich?” Flood asked the crowd. They responded with cheers. From social security to international relations, Nebraskans grilled Flood. “Would you oppose going to war with Canada?” one person asked. “Yes,” said Flood. “Canada is a long-time important ally of the United States of America.” The crowded liked that answer. Others elicited boos. This tense town hall is just a snapshot of politics across...

Congressional Democrats — who were hoping to blast Republicans over budget cuts — instead took incoming from their exasperated constituents when they traveled home to host town halls. In Arizona, Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly were confronted at a joint forum Monday by an attendee demanding to know if they “would support removing” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. In Oregon, an audience member told Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Janelle Bynum on Sunday that he is “so pissed off right now at the leadership in the United States Senate that they are not willing to step up and fight.”...

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., are taking the “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies out West next week – and advising supporters to mask up to participate. Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, Fox News Digital can confirm that the RSVP for the events in Denver and Las Vegas includes guidance that “masks are advised for all attendees of this event.” A post shared by conservative podcaster Stephen L. Miller on Friday about the Denver event had many wondering why masks would be advised for an outdoor event in 2025. Sanders did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s...

Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) was met with chants of "do your job" at a town hall on Saturday. Self is just the latest to receive such treatment, coming the same day as Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was called a coward as he departed the stage at a town hall in Kansas over the weekend where he was asked about how federal cuts are harming veterans. Democratic insider Aaron Fritschner posted a video from Self’s town hall in Wylie, Texas, over the weekend, adding, "Another large, angry crowd at a Republican town hall in a deep red district."

@paulsperry_ NEW: Meet couple running Indivisible's anti-DOGE agitation op targeting GOP townhalls & flooding Hill phonelines: Leah Greenberg+Ezra Levin who have $11.7m warchest thx to $7.26m from Soros. Greenberg's parents worked for Obama. 501(c)4 Indivisible pays a "DEI director" $155,163. @paulsperry_ BREAKING: Soros-funded INDIVISIBLE just issued new marching orders to 1000s of agitators: "Every single Republican needs to pay the price" for "looking the other way as Trump and Musk seize power." "Call them out at town halls, in their district offices, and on their phone lines"

WASHINGTON (AP) — Furious Democrats filled Republican town halls across America last week to protest President Donald Trump’s power grab in Washington. But in recent days, the activists behind those protests have turned their anger toward elected officials in their own party, who they believe are not fighting the Republican president and billionaire adviser Elon Musk with the urgency, aggression or creativity that the moment deserves. “Are we in a constitutional crisis or not?” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the anti-Trump resistance group Indivisible, which encouraged progressives to attend town halls and protest outside Tesla dealerships. Of Democratic leaders, he...

Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris should hold more town hall meetings to interact with voters. Host Jake Tapper said, “Do you think that she should be doing more rallies? I covered Obama in 2008, as you might remember, I would often interview you when I was covering that campaign and at this point, she’s doing two rallies today. But generally speaking, comparing her rally schedule in October to his rallies schedule in October 2008 he did more. Now, maybe we’re in a new era, maybe 2024 you...

Most Americans were under the impression that this week's presidential debate had been canceled. Then they turned on NBC and realized they were wrong. The only change, it turns out, is that the "Today" show's Savannah Guthrie was taking on the president in what the network hilariously billed as a "townhall." Twenty minutes into Guthrie's interrogation, not one audience member had asked a question. It was a stark contrast to the Joe Biden lovefest happening on ABC, where even softball questions were changed out for Nerfs. Of course, the president predicted the "townhall" would be an ambush, even tweeting beforehand:...

In the 1960s, I came across a small training manual distributed by the Communist Party that showed how a small group of people – as few as four – could dominate a much larger group and sway the outcome of any action taken by that group. It was called the Diamond Technique. The principle is based on the fact that people in groups tend to be effected by mass psychology. They derive comfort and security from being aligned with the majority, especially if controversy or conflict is involved. Even if they do not like what the majority is doing, if...

MSNBC: the place for praise of Fox News? Hardly! But today's Morning Joe did offer up a surprising dose of praise for Fox News, and criticism of DNC chairman Tom Perez for nixing the notion of the network hosting a Dem presidential debate. The unexpected remarks came in reaction to yesterday's Bernie Sanders town hall on FNC, hosted by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. Mika Brzezinski began the parade of praise, noting that Fox is making an effort to be open to different points of view, "and I think it's great." Noting that FNC had invited a politically-diverse audience to...

Remember the case of the Census worker who was found hanging from a tree with the word ‘fed' scrawled across his chest? You remember - he died at the hands of right-wing commentators and anti-government tea partiers. He was killed because of an overwhelming case of right-wing paranoia. He was murdered by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann, and Fox News. Keep this quiet though... While the death of Bill Sparkman was a media sensation for pushing anti-conservative sentiments just a couple of months ago, it is receiving little to no coverage currently. Why? Because, as investigators have recently speculated,...

A radical group linked to rogue billionaire George Soros has been providing scripts containing anti-Trump talking points for constituents to read aloud during congressional town hall meetings. One of the scripts distributed by the Revolutionary Love Project encourages town hall participants meeting with their member of Congress to accuse the Trump administration of – wait for it – “xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia.” Constituents are urged to use those precise words to “forcefully condemn” President Trump’s immigration and border security initiatives, Aaron Klein reports at Breitbart News. Information about the scripts came as leaked audio from anti-Trump activists associated with the...

When the 115th Congress took its first recess, members went home to their districts and in some cases to speak directly to their constituents via town halls. During recess members made news for one of two reasons: either they held a town hall which was packed with angry constituents or they opted not to hold an in-district event and were shamed by their constituents as a result. Republican members who were targeted in particular complained bitterly about organized and so-called paid protesters. They were supported by the White House in their characterization. President Trump tweeted that the protests were “planned...

The nationally organized, local left-wing grassroots group known as Indivisible is getting pretty ticked off about being described as “scripted” — even though its members are raising their own concerns about Wisconsin Indivisible chapters working from scripts. The outrage – at least the latest outrage – follows an op/ed last week in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel by an Nicole Tieman, communications director for U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls. The piece, takes aim at the notion that the so-called Indivisible “uprisings” are part of an organic movement, instead of a scripted, well organized and, it appears, well financed national “resistance...

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...

The left has upped the stakes in its guerilla operations against Republicans, as deep-pocketed groups fund protesters to show up to the offices and even houses of congressmen to protest their lack of "town hall" meetings. ------- Local chapters of a left-wing group called “Indivisible” helped organize and lead those two protests. ------- ...in which left-wing groups throw their first punch by rounding up activists and training them to be as disruptive as possible during representatives’ town halls. ------- when lawmakers stop holding those events, the groups throw their second punch by protesting at their homes. ------- While local chapters...
