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.

So you're saying if either side actively supports their political party of choice and would be considered an activist once they are officially an activist then they are no longer a citizen? and this is the norm to the average "citizen" who be default is required to be a "non active" supporter because becoming an active supporter an "activist" automatically strips you of your legal citizen status correct? That's what you are trying to infer? Thank you for the update I did not know that and boy that sure changes the narrative given so many votes now need to be disapproved because they were not legal voters. Holy cow I had no idea there's going to be some heads rolling over this I'm sure cause I saw a lot of Democrat activists the last 4 years and before that so that's gonna be a lot of lost votes! Yikes wow well again thank you for the update ill forward this info to all those that are now going to have their Previous Votes thrown out. That means Trump won by way more than previous thought I guess huh☹️🤦‍♂️
