A far-right congressional candidate in Orange County, California called on his supporters to “Confront Katie Porter” in an Instagram post that featured the walk-up music of a pro wrestler.

And on Sunday, candidate Nick Taurus did just that, leading a crew of supporters loudly heckling the Democratic California congresswoman at the start of an outdoor town hall event at a park in Irvine. The confrontation then escalated into a brief scuffle, the details of which remain unclear.

The fighting was over within a few minutes. Karie Davies, a spokesperson for the Irvine Police Department, told TPM “this is an active investigation.”

“What I can tell you is there were opposing views and it got heated,” Davies said. “One party pushed the other and it escalated to punches being thrown. One person was arrested for assault and battery and was released from the scene with a citation.”

2. "What I can tell you is there were opposing views and it got heated."

Sounds to me like one party crashed an event & behaved badly.

14. Shit-stirring and then playing the victim has been part of their M.O. for a while.

I'm surprised they didn't call themselves "normal tourists."

3. Nick Taurus tried to walk it back

Though Taurus later denied that he intended for his protest to get violent, Porter said in a statement that he had created “unsafe conditions.”

“It is disappointing that a small but vocal group of attendees, who advertised a ‘confrontation rally,’ created unsafe conditions at a planned family-friendly event,” Porter said. “While I absolutely respect their right to disagree, their disturbance disrespected all the families who attended and were ready to engage in a thoughtful, civil, and safe way.”


Here's his mug.

10. Lookee there! Donald taught his puppies a new trick.

Gather your people, rile them up with fightin' words, get them to physically attack your target, then act all innocent.

4. Sounds like Porter's group did not back down . . .

But again I see a pattern here with RWers ...

Attack.

It was a common tactic to break up opponents rallies.Just change the name to Red Hats.

I find that his policy viewpoints are non existent except for wiping out the (buzzword) radical left.
