he was pushing with a room full of African Americans when he boldly claimed that he will repeal Obama care. This was staged IMO. If anything, one can almost feel he was taunting the audience to become ugly or belligerent. A possible ambush to video record an ugly response by the audience.

The characters are different but the methods are the same. One need only think back at the ambush tactics used by weasels such as James O'Keefe.
