Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), the freshman congressman who introduced a bill to completely abolish the Environmental Protection Agency, has a packed morning scheduled for Feb. 23 in the suburbs of Pensacola, Florida. Starting at 7 a.m., he plans to visit the local Kiwanis Club for coffee, do a radio segment, attend a county commissioners meeting and play civics teacher for a day at a middle school. At noon, he caps it all off with a lunchtime rally at Grover Ts BBQ.
Things could get hot at the rib joint.
Throngs of protesters, organized by the local Democratic Womens Club, plan to meet him there to demand he end his crusade against the embattled EPA. A local Tea Party agitator vowed to muster militiamen to prevent these Marxists from disrupting the event. A faction of Bikers for Trump ― the loosely affiliated group of motorcyclists who rallied after last months inauguration to counter the Womens March on Washington against President Donald Trump ― pledged to show up, too.

Republican lawmakers have faced fierce protests at town hall meetings across the country in the last few days. On Thursday, in Utah, protesters booed Rep. Jason Chaffetz, chair of the House Oversight Committee, a demonstration that became highly publicized. On Friday, in Georgia, demonstrators shouted shame at Republican aides during a meeting about the future of the Affordable Care Act. And on Saturday, in Florida, voters erupted after Rep. Gus Bilirakis claimed the law, known colloquially as Obamacare, required elderly folks to go before death panels.

(3,040 posts)That don't adhere to the white, hardcore conservative, Christian dogma that these people spew. In fact, if you asked one of these people what a Marxist was, they would say a liberal that wants a one government, new world order. Its like how they called Obama a liberal facist, Marxist fundamental Muslim. They just don't understand the terms they are using, they just repeat the words that right wing radio pundits use.
