Trump anti-impeachment protestors disrupt Adam Schiff at Armenian Genocide Recognition event

GLENDALE, Calif.— A town hall recognizing strides toward getting the U.S. government to recognize the Armenian Genocide was usurped this weekend by protestors angry with Rep. Adam Schiff for taking a leading role in House Democrats' quest to impeach President Donald Trump.

Schiff has represented Glendale, a suburb of Los Angeles and one of the country's largest Armenian-American communities, in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2001. The community has long pushed for the U.S. government to recognize the Armenian Genocide, but faced pushback from people concerned it could weaken the United States' strategic relationship with Turkey.

At the Glendale Public Library on Saturday, Trump supporters wielded "DON'T IMPEACH" signs, heckling and booing Schiff as he began to talk about the years-long effort to get Congress to acknowledge the 1915 mass killings of more than 1.5 million Armenians as genocide.

"This is an event that’s honoring 1.5 million victims of the Armenian genocide. If you’re choosing to interrupt this event, please leave!" said Ara Khachaturian, the moderator of the event and editor of the Armenian-American news publication the Daily Asbarez. "I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting the memory of my grandfather and the memory of 1.5 million grandfathers."

3. +1. Thoughtful people who have read of the genocide respect the remembrance.

The last thing a thoughtful person would do would be to act out a protest on an unrelated political matter.

4. No. They're actively trying to cause the next one.

And we must stop that from happening!

2. I guess we should be grateful these PILES OF FILTH havent started shooting yet.

Supporting rump is directly supporting putin and means you do want to destroy America.

5. these people have absolutely no shame...........

I'm all for free speech and the right of people to protest, and i'm sure schiff is too, but there is a time and a place and this is NOT it.

but that is really the point with these people isn't? why just assemble and protest peacefully at Schiff's place of work, when you can do it here and not only protest him but also upset an event that your white supremacist brain surely hates as well. Two birds with one stone.

7. They have no class either.

These are the same kind of people who protest military funerals, too, if the service member was gay or Wiccan or Vietnamese.

Pathetic losers.
