‘Tar baby’ lawmaker bans protests at his office


The Colorado Springs blog Not My Tribe noted last week that in the wake of public outrage over Lamborn's comments, his offices now have a rule against protests.

"Private Property -- No Soliciting, No Protesting, No Loitering," a sign outside the congressman's office reads.

"A U.S. Congressman should not be declaring his public taxpayer-funded congressional office 'private property' and shouldn't be putting a sign out telling his constituents they have no right to peaceably assemble and protest," Sirota told The Huffington Post. "That's just fundamentally un-American."

But that rule seems to only apply to Lamborn's detractors, as supporters were able to rally outside his office Friday.

He allow pro rallies that fits his ideology, but no anti-protesters allow.. Just like a damn Republican.. Can’t stand the damn heat, then get the F out of the business of politics..
