Dozens of police officers were called in to control a raucous crowd Tuesday at a luncheon with Rep. Paul Ryan, as protesters repeatedly interrupted a speech given by the Republican congressman.

Police arrested three protesters who “resisted our attempts to remove them,” local Police Chief Brad Wendtlandt told FOX6 News in Milwaukee. A total of 20 were escorted from the Greenfield, Wisc., event.

  This wasn’t a town hall meeting. This was a private meeting that was disrupted by trespassers.

Don’t give that bagger a moments rest! Keep holding his feet to the fire. Fuck tolerance as requested by Caprice Classic. That old thing was nothing more than a gas guzzler!

  LIberals always ask conservatives for tolerance, and they get it.
  
  Thankfully the Rotarians know who the true patriot is, and they invited him to speak. What does that say for the protesters???

  Why don’t you hold your Liberal cronies to the same principals, or is that concept to difficult for you to grasp, Goat?

Liberals need to “try a little tolerance” and let the man speak.

The Rotarians invited the Congressman to speak. When the protesters have done something worthy of speaking at a Rotary Club meeting, they will also be invited to speak.
