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.

    Don’t forget that they are now throwing seig heils now.

    Thanks to Bronzo the Clown specifically, but they’ve been on this path for decades, so if it wasn’t Bronzo, it would have been some other POS Republican. As long as they could get just enough votes for this shit, given the way demographics are changing, you could almost predict how reactionary these fucks were going to get.

    They looked around and see how many non-whites there are. They see how many non-xtians there are. They see gays getting married and being accepted, and now they are further freaked out to find out that trans exist and are not closeted like they once were…
