50. Yes that did all happen

Mar 2025

I only saw about the last 30 minutes maybe where he called Warren "Pocahontas", said she wanted the war in Ukraine to go on, and more, and a bunch of other crazy shit. I missed the part where Al Green was thrown out etc. From what I understand he stood up and demanded an answer for why medicaid was being cut. I hope I can see that somewhere. My brother saw that I think, he got so nauseated he stopped watching and I took over later even though I had not planned to. I hear elunatic was there too, I didn't see that.

The cameras were never on D when I was watching, as far as I could tell, only on Warren briefly at that moment. It seemed planned except for Al Green obviously. I don't know who was filming it. Other D did leave as well, that was not shown and some were holding signs etc. That was not shown either although someone posted a pic here so maybe it was earlier or someone took photographs.

I thought they should not have gone at all, just boycott it and hold town halls etc. or even a demonstration. I understand that many will feel otherwise, because someone had to be there to witness it. But certainly walking out all together would have made more of a statement imo. Or heckling it one by one until there was no one left. At least that would have taken time away from all the lies and disgusting crap etc.

By the way, I switched from a local channel, to cnn and then to msnbc to see if the fact that d were not being shown was due to the channel but it wasn't, they all appeared to have the same view. But Rachel and others at msnbc mentioned that other other d had walked out etc. and did fact checking.

*Updating: Here is a video from CNN of Al Green being thrown out. I am surprised orange psycho actually shut his trap during that. I couldn't hear what AG was saying.
