Scuffles break out as Adam Schiff speaks at Armenian town hall
At a town hall event on Saturday where an Armenian organization was thanking U.S. government officials for their support of resolutions recognizing the Armenian Genocide, scuffles broke out as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), a co-sponsor of a resolution on the issue, spoke in the auditorium at the Glendale Central Library.
As Schiff began speaking, an elderly man and woman and a younger woman held up signs stating “Don’t Impeach.” When they were asked to take down the signs, they refused.
Then, about a dozen people scattered throughout the auditorium began yelling “Liar.”
When some in the audience asked them to refrain from yelling, several scuffles broke out throughout the room, and the audience members who were yelling at Schiff removed their jackets. They were wearing pro-President Trump T-shirts.
After roughly 15 minutes, the scuffles settled down, and the event continued.

The Nazis in the 20's, as they were just getting started, used all the parliamentary tricks to freeze the Reichstag from getting anything done, leading the presidents and chancellors to use their equivalent of executive action to get anything done. And, of course, they complained loudly about how the government that they were stonewalling wasn't working and the presidents were acting like dictators.
Repubs have been doing this since Reagan, like you point out.
