Trump will do doubt be ripped to shreds by the media over his pointing out that the invasions of Republican town halls are well-funded and carefully organized events.
GOP members of Congress who have tried to meet with their constituents have seen their meetings hijacked by angry and often menacing mobs – a tactic historically utilized by Nazis and Communists to shut down political opposition.
The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!

President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening portrayed the heated reception some Republican lawmakers are getting at their town halls as fiction, instead accusing liberal activists of ginning up negative headlines.
GOP lawmakers on recess, including Sen. Chuck Grassley, are getting an earful in their home districts, with some constituents railing against Trump’s plans to repeal Obamacare, his controversial Cabinet nominees and his Supreme Court pick.
Hill Republicans have accused liberal mega-donors of bankrolling a tide of local protesters, but organizing groups have denied that their efforts are being fueled by notable donors such as George Soros.
House Democrats’ campaign arm is launching Twitter ads that will target House Republicans in nearly two dozen districts over the backlash they’re facing at town halls over ObamaCare.
“Will Hurd voted to repeal the ACA with no plan to replace it,” one of the ads reads. “How he won’t hold a town hall with constituents.”
Protesters have been flooding town halls in lawmakers’ home states, particularly over the looming battle over ObamaCare and pushing back on repeal of former President Obama’s signature healthcare law.
Adding to the problem is the absence of pro-Trump demonstrations. Conservatives may have important things to do – like working – but there has to be some effort to match the so-called “resistance” movement. Just because the election is over doesn’t mean anything, the battle for the soul of America has only begun
