El Presidente Trumpo derided all the protests against Republicans at their townhalls by saying they’re just planned by liberal activists, or in other words, astroturf not grassroots protests.
The so-called angry crowds in home districts of some Republicans are actually, in numerous cases, planned out by liberal activists. Sad!

BUT we noticed something interesting – there was a report on Fox News right before Trump tweeted, exactly on this very issue!!
Here’s the report:
Peter Doocy talks about this “training manual” being spread by OFA, or Organizing for America, which once upon a time was called “Obama for America.” Yep, same group.
From the New York Post:
An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.
Organizing for Action, a group founded by former President Barack Obama and featured prominently on his new post-presidency website, is distributing a training manual to anti-Trump activists that advises them to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for repealing ObamaCare, curbing immigration from high-risk Islamic nations and building a border wall.
In a new Facebook post, OFA calls on activists to mobilize against Republicans from now until Feb. 26, when “representatives are going to be in their home districts.”
Here’s their action list for immigration, from the Facebook post:
Well there you go. The most powerful man on Earth is just regurgitating stories from Fox News – at least he picked an accurate one this time…
