| Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis calls protest at his Twin Cities home dangerous |
| 2017-08-11 |
| [STARTRIBUNE] Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis is taking issue with protesters who showed up outside of his home. The Wednesday morning protest at the first-term Republican congressman's suburban house was organized by Take Action Minnesota, a liberal advocacy group. Video footage posted on Lewis' Facebook page shows more than a dozen protesters chanting outside a home before delivering a large letter calling on Lewis to oppose cuts to Medicaid funding. Lewis is a former conservative radio talk show host who won the 2nd Congressional District seat this fall. He called the protest a violation of his private property and "dangerous ramping up of rhetoric" that targeted his family. A spokeswoman from Take Action Minnesota says Lewis should simply hold a town hall to meet with constituents who want to speak with him. |

| #3 Lewis should go ahead and hold the town hall meeting. Just make sure there's a lot of security color camera mounted out of reach and well recorded for later broadcast showing how the demos behaves. Lewis don't really need much of a speech, recycle an old one, and let the demos drown him out. Make sure there's plenty of cops around to protect Lewis from physical attacks and arrest those who try to physically harm others. |

| #1 What's wrong with you? Call the cops or call your supporters and, um, 'counter-protest', preferably on their faces. |
