Summary
A GOP town hall in Idaho turned violent when private security, LEAR Asset Management, forcibly removed Teresa Borrenpohl for speaking out.
The incident escalated after Borrenpohl questioned a panelist’s anti-abortion stance, leading to her being dragged out by unmarked security. Sheriff Norris, present but in plainclothes, did not intervene initially.
LEAR, known for aggressive tactics, was revealed to have been hired by the town hall organizers. Police later revoked LEAR’s city license and clarified that removing someone for speaking out is unlawful.
The incident shows rising tensions and the blurring lines between political events and private security enforcement in conservative areas.
Not just watched, he’s the one in the video telling her she needs to leave and then had the “private security” remove her.
So he gave the illegal order to remove her to vigilantes he didn’t know as law enforcement, and he’s not in trouble?
But he doesn’t know who hired them? Who was in charge of security for the event. How would the local sheriff no know that?
Does their lawsuit shield come off them when their badge comes off?
