GOP rep sounds alarm over Dems 'inciting far-left activists' after private luncheon protest turns physical
Fox News
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., is shining the light on the Democratic effort to “send protesters" to Republican districts after a recent luncheon disrupted by protesters turned physical.
A video obtained by Fox News Digital shows the protesters, who had bought tickets to the event, screaming, "Lawless Lawler" while holding up a sign that read, "Elon's Puppet" in an apparent reference to cost-cutting efforts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The disruption quickly turned physical as the protesters wrestled with the event attendees, who were trying to put an end to the disruption. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
Lawler's team, responding to the protest, pointed to comments by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., where he said that Democrats were sending people to Republican districts to oppose their policies and make them "face the consequences."
