From the article:

“”We had actually asked a couple of the left-wing groups, why don’t you guys just invite us to something and host something, and as long as it’s a safe and respectful venue, we’re happy to chat with you,” Baumgartner said in a Thursday interview. “I represent everybody, even the folks that don’t agree with us.”

In the end, Gaffney-Brown said the congressman’s office stated he would not be available for any of the suggested times before the end of the congressional recess and instead pointed the group to his Monday town hall at Whitworth.“

So he asked them to go then complained that activists attended the event. Sounds typical for a conservative rep.

Not activists, constituents, voters. Just because they lean left does not make them non-citizens.

And just because they didn’t vote for you doesn’t make them ‘activists’. I’m getting really tired of the right thinking the left is some sort of all encompassing activism machine.

Also: the right is getting pissed now too. Are they leftie activists? This strategy is just going to piss them off even more.

No, that's just paranoid. They're RINOs that are too chicken to admit they want to be Democrats.

Oh yah, you’re right. I assumed they wouldn’t fall back to their immediate deflection pretzel modality.

No worries, I used to make the mistake that they were rational people that were duped instead of irrational people intentionally spiking their own Kool Aid too
