53. I think there is a difference between a truly public event and a privately sponsored event.

Things like congressman forums are truly open to the public and have somewhat different freedom of speech rules, but even those have some level of disruptive conduct rules where people can be ejected.

But most of Trump's rallies are actually political fund-raising events and are therefore "private" events which is why they can so easily eject dissidents.

So if you have a democratic party organizing meeting, the it is not truly a "public" meeting even if the public were invited. So then I think under those organizing rules it would be easier to eject people disrupting the proceedings, especially if they were not "members". The meeting organizers should also probably have a plan in place including and up front plan with whatever security is there on how to handle these disruptions and different levels of escalation.

Not an easy middle ground to find sometimes between freedom of speech and public disruption.
