Wondering why Emily Feiner was dragged out of Mike Lawler’s town hall by NY State Troopers?

She had the *audacity* to ask, “What’s your red line? When will you defend the Constitution you swore to uphold?” One question & she’s accosted.
Free speech?
Not under Lawler.

And she got a great response to her words.

And here she is being ejected by state troopers:

🧵. NY-17

What insanity of having private security company forcibly removing her.

Shame shame shame indeed

She IS suing. ACLU is representing her. And she will win, because the thugs who drug her out weren't legit and more importantly because they hurt her. Then add in her right to free speech. I'm sure DU will keep up with her case. She'll win, ok.

We would say only in.....name your country......I guess only in America applies now.
Not the slightest hint of awareness. It's as if these "security agents" were pre sworn to these kinds of acts as a condition of employment.

If I had been next to the asshole with the red hat telling "kill her", I would have been going to jail too.
