Tea Party calls security on seniors and reporters in MI

[spedtr90]

8 officers showed up to remove 6 senior citizens and 2 reporters. A very personalized response for a very dangerous crowd....

The Tea Party of West Michigan ("Preserving, Protecting,and Defending the Constitution of the United States") held a fireside chat with Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI). Reporters were not allowed. The only constitutients allowed were Tea Party members. Senior citizens assumed it was a town hall meeting and showed up to speak with their representative. They were turned away, and when they remained outside discussing issues with one another, the police were called.
Amash was called "a big proponent of transparency” by a woman who attended the meeting.

2. I wonder what really happened inside

It is thought that he voiced the opinion that the government should be overthrown and he should be the new leader. He was cheered by all in attendance. Without letting in people that did not agree with this stance it is hard to know how far he is willing to go in this endeavor.

Just saying ...........

This event should be investigated to see who and how this was paid for to make sure it was classified as a campaign event or not.

3. Sounds like treason.

If What you say is correct then they were advocating the overthrowing of the government.

4. Yes

No way of knowing what really went on in there.
One can only wonder and ponder.

No recordings, no one admitted that disagreed
