Ok. Glad I'm not the only one who realized this.
Maybe you are a better person to help me understand d what I am obviously not realizing...

People are not legally obligated to let everyone attend their event simply because it’s a public building. It has never worked that way and it hasn’t for a reason.
Hey Southern - What's disturbing to me is that the event is promoted as a public event. No where did it say private event. If it did, that's a whole horse of another color.

What's her name is known to be doing those "man in the street" type interviews as a conservative. The left knows who she is and what her views are.

She was not disturbing anyone, was sitting there in a seat, quietly, yet was singled out because the left doesn't agree with her politics. There are plenty of lefties that show up at Republican rallies and scream and disturb. They show up at college assemblies when there's a conservative speaking and scream and shout them down. They're asked to stop. They're not removed simply because someone at the event objects to their very existence. If I recall correctly, Regina Talab did that very thing at a Trump rally before becoming part of Congress.

To me it's akin to discrimination. That's what's disturbing. It starts here. Then who's next? Who decides who's appropriate to attend an event? Things like this tend to creep.
Sorry for the late response lady, I was out and about this weekend. :-)

Even if an event is “public” the host or organizer still has the right to ask anyone to leave the event and it’s not considered discrimination. It’s been that way for decades so this isn’t a sign of changing times or things going to hell.

As I thought. You have no clue.
You should improve your thinking.
I'd like you to back up your claims. The United States corporation tax rate is currently 21%. Sweden has a 21.5% corporate tax rate currently. Norway is 24%. Denmark is 22%. Tax deductions are also not as common in Nordic countries as they are in the United States where billion dollar corporations pay zero dollars in federal taxes.

So unless you have some other information you're wrong that they have lower corporate tax rates because of less regulation.

You said that Bernie has suggested programs that go too far but you couldn't name one?
Thanks, Trump.

Energy sector, healthcare sector, immigration laws, state judicial rights, to name a few.

Does anyone have a link reporting this incident? I haven’t found anything online, so it makes me think that this event wasn’t public and open to ANY media, not just the crappy one.

And it’s not the first time Alex Jones has harassed Sanders...

So there’s a history of him trying to ambush Sanders in inappropriate ways.

People get thrown out of public events all the time or aren’t allowed in if inappropriate. How is that disconcerting?
What was inappropriate about her being there?
First you need to explain what this has to do with socialism. Second you should always read further when something comes from a hate site like infowars.

It was an event closed to the public. It was sponsored by the American Federation of Teachers. Apparently they recognized her and she is no teacher.

Alex Jones, scum and founder of infowars, called Sanders “just like Hitler” and claimed Sanders wants to put people in relocation camps. Jones also claimed that Sanders supporters should have their jaws broken and heads smashed in.
I wouldn’t want him or his staff anywhere near my family and would be grateful that they were asked to leave.

Trump kicks protesters out of his “public” rallies while other politicians don't. I guess he’s a socialist?

And funnily enough, all those pissed at this, didn’t bat an eyelash when Trump starts calling for banning certain reporters from the White House and boycotting those who report truths he doesn’t like.

I may dislike Trump but I would not blame him one bit if he kicked an Antifa member out of his hosted event. Same applies to Bernie in this situation and I don’t deny that both sides do it.

I’m sick of people overlooking EXTREME behavior because of a group’s political leaning. I do not care who it is, none of them are not entitled to act like wild animals and demand acceptance when they go somewhere to start shit.
I was thinking the same thing. Imagine if Antifa members all dressed in black pulled up to the door of a Trump rally. They wouldn’t have been let in. They’ve proven to be trouble makers and their reputation will get them banned at places. Same for inforwars.

Was this the event?

"Sanders will hold a town hall meeting with members of the United Auto Workers and the American Federation of Teachers at 1 p.m. at Lordstown High School. The event is closed to the public."
I don't believe it was. That one specifically says closed to the public. The event in question was specified as a public event.

I’ve never trusted him and when he started banning reporters and accusing most media and newspapers, etc of reporting “ fake news” I started becoming a little scared. A free press is essential. It is accepted by politicians who have nothing criminal to hide ,can communicate in a reasonable manner and aren’t afraid of being investigated. Plus, Trump has always displayed a “dictator mindset”. 🙁

I don't believe it was. That one specifically says closed to the public. The event in question was specified as a public event.
This was the event:

"According to a press release from the American Federation of Teachers, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will meet with AFT President Randi Weingarten and members of the Lordstown Teachers Association Sunday afternoon.

The release states Sanders will “discuss how General Motors’ Lordstown plant closure is hurting the community and how to fight back.”

The 1 p.m. meeting at Lordstown High School, 1824 Salt Springs Road, is only for AFT members, according to Andrew Cook of the AFT."

https://www.tribtoday.com/news/local-ne ... lordstown/

I imagine that Bennett went knowing that she wouldn't be permitted to remain. The reason you're not seeing a lot of reporting about this event is because it was closed to the public and probably the press as well.

The only summary of the event is from the AFT website:
https://www.aft.org/news/aft-town-hall- ... ie-sanders

This is why the OP is laughable. But hey, SOCIALISM!!!!

Exactly what I was thinking! If this event had been opened to the general public and the media, I would guess that at least one other besides Infowars would’ve reported something.
