Voter arrested at GOPers town hall for asking how he'd feel if his daughter was abducted by ICE

Voter arrested at GOPer’s town hall for asking how he’d feel if his daughter was ‘abducted’ by ICE like a Dreamer
Bob Brigham BOB BRIGHAM 02 SEP 2017 AT 13:38 ET

Republican Senator Pat Toomey’s first town hall meeting in months resulted in multiple charges for a voter who asked a provocative hypothetical question.

“A Northampton man was not only pulled from Thursday night’s televised town hall with U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), he was also arrested,” Lehigh Valley Live reports.

Simon Radecki, 28, of Northampton County, Pennsylvania faces charges of disorderly conduct and disrupting a public meeting. The town hall was televised by community-owned public television station PBS39.

Isn't there something about freedom of speech?
petitioning your government for redresses?

He got arrested for asking a question?
Disorderly conduct? At a town hall?
I smell a lawsuit coming!

And I don't mean by getting the most votes. One of the only actual true statements that came out of the orange shit-gibbon's mouth was "It's rigged". Toomey was double digits down in the polls and then all of a sudden he won.
