President Donald Trump is urging Republicans to take a tough stand against people causing chaos at their town hall events, accusing “Radical Left Democrats” of paying people to disrupt these gatherings, though he provided no evidence for this claim.
On Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social to slam the recent disturbances at events with Republican lawmakers, which have been widely reported. He suggested these disruptions are part of a planned effort to make Republicans look bad and create the false impression that Republican voters are unhappy with cuts to government programs.
Trump was blunt in his message, writing, “Radical Left Democrats are paying a fortune to have people infiltrate the Town Halls of Republican Congressmen/women and Senators.” He insisted that these “disruptors” should not be treated “nicely.”
“These Great Patriot Politicians should not treat them nicely,” he said. “Have them immediately ejected from the room – They are disruptors and troublemakers.”
Trump added: “You must allow your audience to know what you are up against, or else they will think they are Republicans, and that there is dissension in the Party,” he said. “There is not, there is only LOVE and UNITY. Republicans are happy with what is taking place in our Country. We all love America!”
The disruptions have affected several Republican lawmakers, including Sen. Chuck Grassley, Rep. Harriet Hageman, Rep. Chuck Edwards, and Rep. Byron Donalds. However, there is ongoing debate about who is behind these disruptions, with both Republicans and Democrats offering different views on the matter.
