A protester at an Idaho town hall hosted by a Republican committee made remarks from the audience to several legislative members on stage.

Summary

Protesters at a Kootenai County Republican Central Committee town hall in Idaho were forcibly removed after criticizing Trump policies, including the Elon Musk-led DOGE.

Event organizers dismissed their concerns, with one emcee saying, “Your voice is meaningless.”

Similar protests occurred in Georgia and Oklahoma, where Republicans faced criticism over mass layoffs.

Lawsuits have been filed against the administration over the legality of these dismissals.

    Massive difference between “I’m speaking, you get to talk afterwards” vs “You never get to speak”.

    How many spoke at the convention? “We pretended to listen to you behind closed doors and we’re never going to address your concerns” is functionally the same thing as “you never get to speak.”

    The voice of Dick Cheney carried greater weight. It should have carried none.

      Zero. And they act like they’re somehow the better choice at the lives of brown people they bomb.
