Anti-Trump protesters pack Perdue, Isakson event

GREENSBORO, Ga. - The protests that have rocked Republican town hall meetings across the nation have arrived in Georgia.

Dozens of protesters packed a meeting on Friday in Greensboro hosted by aides to U.S. Sens. David Perdue and Johnny Isakson and Rep. Jody Hice. The trio of Republicans, though, were not there.

The meeting – which a Hice spokesman characterized as a routine “constituent service day” featuring private sessions with local residents – is one of the first Republican congressional events in Georgia since Donald Trump’s inauguration.

About a half-dozen congressional aides briefly addressed the crowd, telling them the event was not a town hall and they would take no questions from the floor. They left after crowd members chanted “shame, shame, shame."

...snip...

An aide to Congressman Jody Hice (R-GA) did come back out and jot down some questions for the audience.

I already heard a conservative pundit on a local GA NPR news show claim that the "protestors" were recruited on Craigslist and paid to attend, which is, of course, total BS.
