WTF is wrong with the protesters? Do they get how rude and counterproductive that was? I would be LESS likely to support their cause now because I am so upset and sad about the way they drown Rep. Cummings out. And he was making a GREAT speech. I dunno what to say

The protesters tried to drown him out. At first he was confused and hesitant and then he reached down deep and brought that speech home like a champion. I am furious at the anti-TTP protester, especially since Clinton is on record as against now. WTF do they think they accomplished with that mess? But Cummings' response was a beautiful thing to watch.
