Here's a video from 2013 of Tea Partiers disrupting a Democrats town hall.

There's plenty more articles, and here's a video from 2013.

I'm going to repost the EXACT same post in hopes you understand. I'll bold parts of it to help you.

I'd like to see proof Tea Party members tried to stop a town hall meeting by yelling about a topic that had nothing to do with the meeting and that Conservatives agreed with that.

You can't really be surprised that Trump supporters have a lot of thugs in their ranks.

Sounds about right that they resort to violence instead of using their head.

You're splitting incredibly fine hairs here and since you have no interest in doing your own research, I'm done spoonfeeding you. I don't believe I could ever give you enough proof for you to admit I'm right. It's not worth wasting my time on you.

Has anyone seriously considered what kind of protests will likely result if Trump is elected? (I do think and hope that is election is highly unlikely, however.)

No. What do you think would happen?

Of course, I don't know because, unfortunately, I am not psychic, but if people protest about a PAST racist president being honored (see the current thread about Woodrow Wilson), then I can only think that they will be absolutely incensed if a current racist -- or, at least, a person who is perceived as being racist and who seems to almost delight in outraging minorities -- is elected POTUS.

Heckling blow hard politicians is as old a practice as our democracy - older. It is the epitome of the exercise of free speech. How a candidate handles hecklers lets us know a lot about his character and, in this case, the character of his supporters.

Anybody who interrupts/heckles/stirs up trouble at political rallies deserves what they get, no matter what side they are on. I have absolutely no respect for such people on either side of the aisle. Interrupt a Hillary rally, ok guys lay him out. Interrupt a Trump rally, yep, let him have it.

Translation. You have no proof. Again - by yelling about a topic that had nothing to do with the meeting

You're just like BLM. Lost and not going to the ones who should be held accountable.

Trump is a candidate for president. Black Lives Matter has concerns about what a Trump presidency would look like in relation to their concerns, much the way the Tea Party had concerns about the ACA and disrupted town halls because of them. And it has everything to with the topic of the gathering, which is about Trump's possible presidency. He's campaigning to be the president of all Americans, not just those who agree with him.
Interesting that you would address this but not my question to you.
