LINCOLN — Between 200 and 300 protesters, shouting phrases like “Do your job” and “Meet with us,” disrupted the final moments of a speaking engagement of U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., on Tuesday.
Fischer, back in Nebraska during a recess week for Congress, spoke at noon during a closed meeting of the Lincoln Independent Business Association at a downtown Lincoln meeting hall.
A group called “Indivisible Lincoln” had called for a protest to object to her unwillingness to schedule a town hall meeting with the general public while making time for a special interest group like LIBA.
As Fischer was wrapping up a question-and-answer session with LIBA members, a group of protesters who had gathered outside the Grand Manse building began entering hallways of the structure, chanting “Do your job.”
