UPDATE: Protesters arrested at Sen. Flake's Tucson office

TUCSON -
Two protesters were arrested at Sen. Jeff Flake’s Tucson office Thursday morning.

According to a media release distributed Wednesday by the Tucson Chapter
of Progressive Democrats of America, dozens of people planned a sit-in at the
Senator’s office to demand that he vote “No” on the Better Care Reconciliation Act.

The release stated, “Protesters to Risk Arrest in Sen. Jeff Flake’s Office to Save
Health Care for Millions of Americans.”

According to Jason Samuels, Sen. Flake’s Communications Director, one protester
was arrested for making the following statement:

Protester: You know how liberals are going to solve the Republican problem?

Staffer: No.

Protester: They are going to get better aim. That last guy tried, but he needed better aim. We will get better aim.
