    Schiff town hall erupts into clashes amid shouts of ‘liar’ and ‘treason’
    By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News

    House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff joins Chris Wallace on 'Fox News Sunday.'

    A California town hall meeting featuring House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., descended into chaos after jeers led to clashes among attendees.

    Schiff was discussing how recognition of the Armenian genocide was a significant bipartisan issue at the event hosted by the Armenian National Committee of America on Saturday when members of the crowd began shouting at him.

    "Liar!" at least one attendee at the Glendale event yelled.


    The commotion escalated from there, with a number of people present bearing signs or shirts supporting President Trump and opposing the impeachment process. Schiff is one of the leaders of the impeachment inquiry, which is expected to lead to a vote by the full House later this week.

    "You will be going to jail for treason!" one man could be heard shouting in videos from the event that were posted online. The man acknowledged the outburst was unrelated to the purpose of the event, stating, "No disrespect to you all, I'm glad you guys are getting recognized for your genocide, but this man is a f-----g liar!"

    Videos captured physical scuffles that broke out soon after, while Schiff stepped away from the podium as organizers and authorities struggled to regain control of the event. No one was injured, police told the Los Angeles Times.

    The event made a Monday town hall held by Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., seem tame in comparison. Slotkin, who announced her support for Trump's impeachment in a Detroit Free Press op-ed hours earlier, faced a chorus of boos and numerous interruptions as she addressed constituents.

    ...which may very well lead to him being re-elected.

    Slotkin was in a purple district.
    Not likely, he's far behind any of the Democratic front runners at this time.

    Maris apparently thinks it was a good thing that Congressman Schiff was shouted at and called traitor.

    Is it acceptable to shout down anyone with whom someone disagrees? Is it OK to shout down Republicans or just Democrats?

    Traitor is someone who betrays their country to a foreign enemy. Is a member of Congress a traitor for doing something the Constitution permits? Is Trump now America, so opposing Trump is treason? Is it treason to run against him? To vote against him? Was impeaching Johnson, Nixon, Clinton treason or only Trump? Why is he outside the Constitution?

    Correct. Impeachment proceedings were begun but he quit instead. Point still holds. Was it treason to initiate impeachment against him? Or just Trump?

    If you have to ask these questions then you have not been watching Adam's Carnival of Comedy, or have no understanding of how and why Impeachment is Constitutionally conducted.
    History will call this the Democratic party's most epic failure.
