here is how you get from the town hall protests to Obama using actual news sources:

1. a group called "Indivisible" put out the booklet on how to disrupt TownHalls:

2. "Indivisible" was founded by former democratic aides specifically to disrupt Trump:

Quote:
Dubbed “Indivisible,” the group launched as a way for Padilla and a handful of fellow ex-Democratic aides to channel their post-election heartbreak into a manual for quashing President Donald Trump’s agenda. They drafted a 26-page protest guide for activists, full of pointers on how to bird dog their members of Congress in the language of Capitol insiders.

3. Indivisible partnered with "Organising for Action":

Quote:
Obama-Aligned Organizing for Action Relaunches for Trump Era

(...)

And the group has teamed up with Indivisible, a buzzy newcomer to the progressive movement, to offer organizing training that began Thursday night with a video conference. A combined 25,000 people have registered to participate in those trainings, OFA said.

(...)

The goal is to further hinder the already stalling momentum around repeal the Affordable Care Act.

For instance, OFA helped get Obamacare supporters to flood townhalls for Florida Republican Rep. Gus Bilirakis, Illinois GOP Rep. Peter Roskam, and California Rep. Tom McClintock, which lead to national news coverage about anti-repeal backlash

Personally, I have no issue with Obama being involved, this is just politics.

But it is laughable to argue these TownHalls are not being manipulated by Democratic activists when the evidence is so transparent.
