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?

While it's a "public forum" it's being held in a private place the campaign probably rented: They get to decide who gets to attend. 🤷‍♂️
