'Sad!': Trump goes after 'so-called angry crowds' in GOP districts

Source: MSN/USA Today

President Trump took to Twitter Tuesday give to his take on the unrest seen at town hall events across the U.S., citing "so-called angry crowds" that he said are, in many cases, "planned out by liberal activists."

"The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!" Trump tweeted.

Angry constituents swarmed town halls expressing concerns about the administration's policies on everything from immigration and health care to public lands.

Fox News aired a segment on its 6 p.m. show Special Report — just before the president's tweet — in which Peter Doocy reported that “some of the chaos from GOP town hall meetings is very well-choreographed by the liberal activists that helped get Barack Obama elected president.”

So, liberals are not real constituents? Perhaps they are alternate voters?

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. imagine that! Liberals! And activisits! And planners - in America? surely not!

[TomCADem]

32. "Planning" What a novel concept

Must be foreign for the Orange Small Hands.

2. You ain't seen nothing yet

You short fingered feces throwing shitgibbon

[Docreed2003]

28. Lmao...

I snorted reading your post....but you forgot "Cheeto stained"

[rzemanfl]

3. The "planned out" is you, Drumpf. n/t

[JudyM]

4. At least that's less nefarious than "paid protestors"...

So much for his claims of uniting everyone. I'm shocked, shocked.

[rzemanfl]

7. "So-called angry?" Like they're feigning it? n/t

[JudyM]

14. He apparently is so lacking in empathy that he can't fathom authentic disagreement with his actions.

[Charles Bukowski]

20. I honestly

think he uses eeeny-meeny-miney-mo to select which word(s) in his tweet goes in quotation marks.

[bravenak]

5. WINTER IS COMING, ASSHOLES!

[Lifelong Protester]

6. I've written to my Republican Senator FIVE TIMES

No response-letters, emails or postcards.
From my Democratic Senator, I have at least gotten the "I'll get back to you" acknowledgement.

I thought (I guess erroneously) that they, Congress, were elected to serve us all.

[MindPilot]

34. Contacting your "representative" is an exercise in futility.

An automated "cool story, bro; thank you for your concern, now please donate" response is all I've ever gotten.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. LOL, Only Fux Noise Could Find A Guy Named Peter Douchey...

...Small nozzle perhaps



P.S. I Know It's Steve's Little Brother.

9. We are a divided nation; this sounds like civil war.

Feels like civil war. Thankfully, we are not involved with physical violence.

[murielm99]

25. We were not this divided before trump

came on the scene. He has fomented this division.

I, too, attended an event like this, this evening. We held a town hall that our republican congressman declined to attend. We had the meeting without him. At the front of the hall, we placed an empty suit with his picture where his head should have been. We addressed our questions to the empty suit. The meeting was recorded, and the media was invited. I will write about it some more tomorrow when I am less tired. My central committee needs a written report on it also.

It was in Adam Kinzinger's district, the 16th Congressional District in Illinois. He could not be bothered to show up for a town hall. However, on Thursday, he is going to be the keynote speaker for a Republican group in the northern part of our district. We will be there.

In this same community, not that many years ago, angry tea partiers disrupted town hall meetings. The police had to be called. We did not behave that way tonight. Questions can be asked and anger can be expressed without behaving like flaming assholes.

Unlike the tea partiers, this group was strictly grassroots. No one paid for buses or porta potties. The meeting place was donated.

We can plan. So what, trump? Just because you are disorganized and your administration is chaotic, you think other people do not know how to plan? Grow up.

[Equinox Moon]

35. I love what you did!

Thank you on behalf of We The People.

And the contrast to the so-called Tea Party is important. The press is important.

[CrispyQ]

36. It is important to remind them that when the tea party protested,

President Obama didn't whine about it & neither has any president prior to this. Even Bush, who claimed it would be easier if it were a dictatorship, especially if he were the dictator, didn't whine about people protesting him. Can you imagine if people had thrown eggs at Trump like they did Bush, the meltdown Trump would have had? The president has the temperament of a spoiled two-year-old.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. SCPOTUS is going to have a rude awakening in 2018

He is carrying on ideological warfare ... we Democrats didn't make this war

Obama tried time and again to compromise, and all he got was stonewalling
on ideological grounds by obstructionism

We're going to have to make 2018 happen

[CousinIT]

11. "planned out by liberal activists" - youbetcha, asshole.

And we're NOT. GOING. AWAY.

[Chicago1980]

12. And it's time to go after him.

HARD!

Sticks and stones baby.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

13. There are more of us than there are of them

So what if the protests are "planned out by liberal activists"? Do those kind of people and the crowds of people who attend not count?

[Initech]

15. We're sick and tired of their bullshit!

We need to make our voices heard there because we have no representation elsewhere!

[George II]

16. "liberal activists" are AMERICANS who are upset.

[Fred Sanders]

17. So-called President gets all his so-called info from Faux News? SADDEST man on the planet.

[Glamrock]

18. So it's acceptable if:

1) it's your side protesting a dem POTUS
2) it's organized by a GOP think tank....
Got it.
Now where's that middle finger smiley....

[Docreed2003]

29. This ones my fav

[irisblue]

[riversedge]

19. Oh donny--you are such an ignorant blob.

[Plucketeer]

23. Oh great orange one...

You would not BELIEVE how many of us DON'T live a gilded life like you and your circus clown family. We're COMING for you and we're gonna topple you and your SO-Called empire.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

24. Trump has the vocabulary of a third grader...

No, that's an insult to third graders.

SAD!

[Cryptoad]

26. Mark my words,,,,,,,

before the end of the year they will be arresting these so called angry crowds for felony protesting!

[trixie2]

27. He has no idea what serving the public means

You are to serve everyone and not just your own cheerleaders.

Basic American rights and he does not get it.

33. GOP rep pushes back on Trump's tweet about town hall protests

Even some Republican members of Congress are uncomfortable with Trump's attacks on their constituents.

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/320573-gop-rep-pushes-back-on-trumps-tweet-about-gop-district-protests

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) on Tuesday pushed back against President Trump’s claim that “liberal activists” are organizing agitated protests in GOP districts throughout the United States.

“They are our fellow Americans with legitimate concerns. We need to stop acting so fragile. I'm proud to defend liberty and the Constitution,” Amash wrote on Twitter in response to Trump's tweet.

* * *
"I think it is critical that members of Congress hold in-person town halls like this," Amash said at an event about two weeks ago. "There aren't enough of people on either side of the aisle who do it."

[FiveGoodMen]

37. He has no will or intention to do that in any case

He's never been in it for anything but himself

[NickB79]

31. We're fake Americans.
