Three arrested during disruption at Rep. Adam Smith town hall

Three people were arrested during a disruption at U.S. Representative Adam Smith’s town hall in Renton on Monday.

According to Renton PD, nine protesters took over the stage at the town hall, which was held at Renton Technical College. Police say the participants left the room and went into side rooms as officers got them to disperse. Then, as the participants were leaving, three of the protesters came back and refused to leave.

Police say the three were warned they’d be arrested if they didn’t leave. They didn’t leave and were arrested for trespass and booked into jail.

Congressional candidate Kshama Sawant, who is running against Rep. Adam Smith, spoke outside of the SCORE jail — where the participants were being held — to express her support for the three.

What a surprise, Kshama lama ding dong was behind it. She never misses a chance to showboat. Has she actually ever helped anyone?

Noting detail: Smith is Seattle area D.

Sawant led the winning fight for $15 minimum wage. Fight spread nationally.

I think that helped a lot of people.

Her antics as a council member led to paying out for damages to those she targeted.

Sawant is the example that many point to as an example of the crazy left.
Least you think I'm out of touch, I have heard this from many democrats in the metro area.
