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.

“Toomey answered 20 questions during the hour-long event, one of which ended in Redecki being escorted from the meeting after he suggested that the senator’s daughter, Bridget, was abducted while posing a question on immigration,” Philadelphia Voice reported. “Radecki took to Facebook afterward to share the full question that came around 40 minutes into PBS39’s broadcast.”

Now when someone wants to ask questions to a right wing hack, you get arrested, just fuck the Constitution after all he is a fucking US Senator. That has done what?

Confirmed everyone of the sexual predators appointees even at the federal bench of law, and is in the process of destroying the checks and balances that is needs in this country, by being a yes man of BS, for party over country, and just what are your thoughts there senator on treason.........................?

1. Good thing he didnt laugh at him too, if you do that you go to jail as we all know.

12. Yes, we live in incredible times

Desiree Fairooz chuckled when Sessions testified something to the effect that he has always stood up for civil rights. As a result she's been convicted once (of good humor?), had that overturned, and will be retried shortly.

Sad.

2. Similar to the question

Dukakis was asked at a presidential debate, a question from which some say his campaign never recovered because he wasn't overtly
horrified by it, he just pushed it aside and went on to politics.

3. What happened to the "They work for us" deal?

They are our Representatives in name only. They are slaves to the Donors!

If my Congressman, Randy Weber (wholly owned subsidiary of the oil companies/refiners), ever has a town hall I plan on asking some tough questions myself. Mainly about the EPA's lack of manpower to inspect the refineries around here. The refineries have been held to "self reporting" accidents, leaks etc., because the EPA and the state agencies like TCEQ (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) have no manpower, no money, and are controlled by appointed industry stooges.

Wake up people, this is what we get by allowing big money to legally bribe our representatives! Makes no sense from our standpoint!

4. K & R for exposure.

5. Toomey is owned by the Koches

Toomey didn't release a statement on the Muslim ban for three days, because he was at a billionaire Koch conference in California and couldn't be reached.

Toomey cares about GOP donors only.

13. Less than that, Toomey only cares about tax cuts

He is wholly owned by the Club for Growth.

6. TWENTY questions? I don't think we should get excited about this.

He almost certainly was disrupting the meeting, and his behavior was distracting attention from the issues to his own behavior, doing himself and us no good.

Polls show decent conservatives worry about Rump AND feel the parties need to work together to run our country. This is hugely good news for our nation.

At our extremely conservative district's last town hall, we came with the intent of being part of a minority liberal presence, but our message was "Harveyed" by the bad behavior of a few left-wingers who came to disrupt. They were so...stupidly antagonistic that we were all glad when their planned protest concluded with marching out, but that shouldn't have been the only point the people still there were in agreement. Worst of all, a group of less conservative "church women" had organized to raise these points in a way that is considered acceptable in this part of the country, and the opportunity make a point that might have pinged with others present was destroyed.

8. I believe your first 2 paragraphs are bullshit

you have a link to show his disruption??

[DoctorPepper]

10. You need to re-read the article more carefully.

Toomey answered over 20 questions. That was in total -- not all from one person. The "disruptor" only asked one question, but it was a provocative one. Apparently too provocative for the delicate snowflake to answer.

[DeminPennswoods]

14. He never even got to ask his question

What got him kicked out was only the lead-in to a question about how ICE is going about grabbing parents, children, etc away from their families iaw Trump's immigration crack down. His point was this is akin to having a loved one kidnapped.

Honestly, someone should hire a guy in a chicken suit to follow Toomey around.

16. How in the world is 20 questions onerous to answer?

He was at a very rare town meeting for him -- he should have answered more. That is what he gets paid to do.

7. Guess Humpty Dumpty Don the Con revoked the 1st amendment when weren't looking. GAH

9. Unfortunately Toomey is one of my senators. He is a complete ASS.

Yet the rural people love him and the way this state is gerrymandered, he will probably be around for a long time.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. Toomey's a senator, he runs statewide

gerrymandering doesn't help him.

11. His opening question...

was phrased in a way that could have been construed as menacing, but he went on to fully explain his point. Toomey's dismissal of the question and Radecki's removal and arrest demonstrated totally Nazi tactics.

17. So if I wrapped up a question with "...and I fart in your general direction "

Would that get me an assault charge?
