AZ Rep Schweikert: Indivisible Groups 'Incite Violence' and 'Light Cars on Fire' [View all]

[DesertRat]

This is a transparently ridiculous claim: Anyone who's ever spent any time around these groups knows that they're primarily made up of middle-aged and retired homeowners who are rightfully pissed off that their health insurance might get taken away.

"I’m 35 and I’m the youngest one," says Christy Love, one of the leaders of Indivisible AZ CD6, which is based in Schweikert's district and regularly protests outside his office. "I think the median age is about 70. We've been dubbed the cookie grandmas, and it’s actually quite accurate."


A fundraising letter sent by Rep. David Schweikert claims that Indivisible groups are "determined to inflict the kind of violence we have never seen before." The full letter (which goes on for several pages) can be viewed and downloaded at the link.
