Rep. Porter says 'everyone lost' after a group of political critics disrupted her town hall in California on Sunday, resulting in the arrest of a 51-year-old man.
"They began to shout and eventually violence broke out," Porter said Monday night on MSNBC."It was really disappointing and scary, especially for families and seniors and others who were there, and I think we need to hear from every elected official regardless of party that this is not democracy."
"It's incredibly disappointing to have it happen here," Porter said on Monday."After Jan. 6, it's hard to feel safe in Washington right now and now it's hard to feel safe in Irvine." “There were opposing opinions at the town hall. It got heated and punches were thrown. One man received a bloody nose. The suspect was arrested, given a citation and released from the scene,” Irvine Police said.
“While I absolutely respect their right to disagree, their disturbance disrespected all the families who attended and were ready to engage in a thoughtful, civil and safe way,” she said in the statement.on his Instagram account several days before the town hall urging his supporters to join his campaign in confronting Porter. Taurus told his followers to appear at the town hall event held at the Mike Ward Community Park.
