Where the hell were the real men in that crowd to help her. Are Republicans so anal that they can just sit while a woman is being attacked? What filthy, cowardly scum. If I were there, they'd have had to take me as well because I'd have tried to help her and I'm a woman.

That’s is very distressing to watch. I can’t imagine what that woman went through. Nobody intervened. And the sheriff is a fascist asshole too.

This story is horrifying. Read the whole thing- there are so many layers of effed, from the sheriff leading the charge on this woman, to the plainclothes “security”, the violence, the denials by organizers.

Unidentified, non uniformed.
Of course anyone would refuse their requests.
It looks like a kidnapping.
I thought the Republican Party was all for free speech.

tunalapumpie.bsky.social•8 hours ago

If you’re at a town hall and see this, you ALL need to stand up. Until they show badges and identify themselves-this is assault. There is no way this woman should not have had the support of that entire room.

Exactly!! 👍🏻

“To her left, she said, she heard friends defending her while people across the aisle jeered at her and applauded the men who were attempting to remove her from the auditorium.

As the men dragged her down the aisle, Borrenpohl lost her shoe, and at one point, her shirt nearly came off.”

No. The police chief has condemned them. The sheriff Bob Norris told the men to "get her" but he's know denying knowledge. Here's his picture.

partoftheproblem.bsky.social•8 hours ago

Sheriff may be part of a different org; around here we have the sheriff’s office w/one sheriff and multiple deputies, but also, city police, w/chiefs and officers.

rokkinrobin55.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Was he there to help keep order or not? My reading was that those were private security. I do not know what she did to precipitate removal. Expressing disagreement at a public government meeting should not be grounds for being dragged out.

partoftheproblem.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I don’t know any of those answers lmao was just responding to your ? about why the man in the video helped but then seemingly condemned what happened. It’s bc it was likely two different individuals.
