Case in point was a recent town hall where Utah Representative Jason Chaffetz spoke to his constituents. Although the event was meant to be an opportunity for the congressman to get better in touch with the people he is supposed to represent, left-wing protesters interrupted the event to bombard Chaffetz with “gotcha” questions such as why he has investigated Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump. Of course, Chaffetz had a snappy answer for this question:
“You’re really not going to like this part,” Chaffetz responded. “The president, under the law, is exempt from conflict of interest laws.”
Chaffetz was a key player in the Benghazi and email investigations that plagued Clinton, a former secretary of State under President Obama. Shortly before Election Day, Chaffetz said he believed the committee had two years’ worth of material on her. Now he’s facing added pressure to apply the same level of scrutiny to Trump.
The Tribune reported Thursday’s event at Brighton High School in Cottonwood Heights, Utah, was at capacity, with police warning some would not be admitted into its 1,080-person auditorium.
Demonstrators repeatedly booed when Chaffetz mentioned Trump’s name, it said, and some held up signs reading “disagree” at the Utah lawmaker.”

disruption is not protest its a riot,arrest them and give them 10 years to think about it
Lol. Silly.
These prop l e are being paid to attend town hall meetings and disrupt things. Making it seem like everyone is against the same thing.
Start carding these town halls . If their not in your district boot them out
Democrats Losing with No Dignity & No Class! It will be many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many many years before the Democrats win a Presidential election after all this nonsense!
Vilification, ad hominem attacks, demeaning “laughter”, inability to address the issues or argue rationally, ignorance of those issues, acceptance of the wildest lies – these are all tactics used by those attempting to explain away the protesters and demonstrators standing up for their most dearly held beliefs. This is not an effective means of arguing your point. The person claiming the demonstrators were paid is beyond talking to, as is the one who seems to believe a riot occurred at the Chaffetz town hall, because they clearly don’t understand the concept of fact-checking. But none of these arguments can be taken seriously because there is no evidence or substance presented with them. These are tactics used only by those who can’t argue the issues and who are so sheltered that they actually believe nobody could possibly disagree legitimately with their world view. In case you missed the point – HOW DARE YOU ASSUME THAT THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH YOU ARE NOT JUST AS LEGITIMATE AND PASSIONATE IN THEIR BELIEFS AS YOU ARE.
