St Louis town hall attendees attacked by security & police

It’s not going well over there in Missouri. AIPAC spent over $12 million to get rid of Cori Bush and get Wesley Hall elected.

Cori Bush:
“ Constituents were told to stay after Bell’s townhall if they had questions. They stayed & were brutalized. As Trump deepens our country into a police state, it breaks my heart to see the same violence and anti-democratic tactics in STL. Silence & violence are not representation.”

Ryan Grim:

St. Louis police and security for Rep. Wesley Bell got quite rough with townhall attendees at the end of the recent event.

Here's new video from one constituent who filmed some of the assaults and by the end is getting thrown to the ground himself:

He’d just been to Israel on AIPAC’s dime.

And he's a Democrat.

No one was arrested. Pffft
