Police were summoned to forcibly remove a number of leftist protesters who disrupted a campaign rally in Nashville for Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).
The unhinged mob even caused a scene during a moment of silence for the victims of the Pittsburgh massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue.
“Marsha Blackburn is a white supremacist,” one of the thugs yelled, according to the reporting of The Tennessean.
Another protester shouted, “Impeach Trump.” And then there was this crazy lady who was literally picked up and hauled out of the room while she continued screaming and flailing her arms. Watch:

Blackburn, who is running for the U.S. Senate, was repulsed by the vulgar behavior of the leftists.
“How despicable that you cannot even have a moment of silence,” Blackburn told the crowd.

Steve Gill, a Tennessee radio host and editor of the Tennessee Star, said one of the female supporters of Democrat Phil Bredesen dropped a number of f-bombs as she was hauled out of the room.
A spokesperson for the Tennessee Republican Party told the newspaper they asked the protesters to leave quietly, but they refused to do so.
I can’t even begin to imagine the darkness in a person’s soul that would compel them to disrupt a moment of silence for victims of a massacre.
