A veteran in North Carolina gave Rep. Chuck Edwards a piece of his mind and was forcefully removed from the town hall. The crowd cheered the man, drowning out Rep. Edwards.

Every fucking person should have stood up and chanted “free speech” when they were throwing him out. He served that shithole country and look how they treated him. Shameful shameful shameful.
Americans - people outside the US feel your pain and our heart breaks when we see this. These are dark days but please don't give up. Keep fighting. ♥️🇨🇦🇺🇲💙
Shameful however, everyone that speaks up against any one associated with this administration is removed. Do I agree with this gentleman screaming? No. However, this seems to be the only way that anyone is listening.
It is very disturbing to see stormtroopers descend on a veteran using his First Amendment right to disagree with a politician at a town hall meeting supposedly intended for that purpose.
We are watching the first amendment die before us. At our feet. Justice is under attack and their lives are being threatened, daily. Without enforceable court intervention, the right to speak for yourself, for your family or even others, will die. Protest will become illegal in any form.
Why were their faces so grumpy, too? He's one of y'all and you're really gonna give him that treatment? Pigs aren't people. You stand with the state while it strips the rights of its citizens, don't come asking the people to forgive or protect you if matters escalate.
Washington DC: The Bonus Army, a group of World War I veterans seeking expedited benefits, in 1932. Many of these men came from afar. They were disbanded by units of the U.S. Army, commanded by Gen. Douglas MacArthur under orders from President Hoover. History Repeats!
I wouldn’t want a whole bunch of highly trained veterans pissed off at me. These fuckers are going to learn the hard way and don’t deserve a moments peace.
that was every officer in the room, meaning there were no more officers in the room down front. Are you picking up what I'm laying down my peeps. If we act as one they can't stop everyone. GET UP!
How about you shut up and stop alienating people who are joining the coalition to save democracy regardless of their prior political alignment? You don't have to kiss and hold hands with MAGA defectors but any vote against fascism is a vote against fascism.
If they don't listen to our anger now, it will only go into violence. So they need to listen and defend us or American blood of left, right, and center will be spilled and it won't be only constituents. Congress is NOT safe from the consequences of their actions.
Calling all freedom loving, democracy loving combat arms veterans .... a South African mandatory military draft dodger and a silver spooned bone spur draft dodger are taking your liberties away but they want you to buy a "TESLER".
You guys are still not doing it right. If one starts getting pulled out , get the fuck in there and back him up, because the next one will be you. 5 guards can't take on a mob. They will have no choice but to let you speak
It really concerns me how Americans think only veterans and armed forces have a right to speak. You ALL have the right to speak ffs! Not having a dig about this guy, but grow some balls all of you.
Why did they escort this veteran out? He was using his first amendment right. He showed no threat to anyone. He raised his voice and raised his fist, if that scared you to the point of removal, then you've been checking the wrong box

I hate these cowards. They're so quick to fuck voters behind our backs but refuse to answer for their actions face to face. I hope people remember this come midterms
MAGA doesn't care about veterans. I stood on a street corner today so I could participate in some way with the veteran's march and was called some choice names by several people, even though I had "Veteran U.S. Army" on the sign. The only people we have is our brothers now.
