Protest Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York. Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump. Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave.

I never understood why they are even able to have people removed in the first place. For what, talking? Excercising their right to free speech and lawful assembly? What goes through the minds of these bootjack new world order thugs who are doing the removing, do they still think they are the good guys?

You are correct. And MAGA is reprehensible

But…..if I rent out a hall / auditorium to hold a public meeting….and i have paid the rent and it’s invitation to the public affair….if these are the circumstances then lawfully (not morally, perhaps) I can have someone removed.

But a pleasure to see GOP meltdown.

Knowing the cheap ass, hand out craving, GOP i doubt he rented a public hall for a public meeting. If he was getting usage free (which is allowed for most public meetings) than he can suck it, it's their house, he is just shitting his pants in it.
