ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Indivisible is a group of progressive activists who are showing up at Republican town halls across the country with the purpose of wreaking havoc.

Rep. Dave Brat ran into the team at several of his town-halls – of which CNN described as “raucous” and the Washington Post dubbed as “fiery” – all without noting the coordinated efforts by Indivisible team to do and be just that.

The Richmond Times Dispatch was more honest in its reporting, and noted many of the angry constituents showing up at these town halls throughout the state of Virginia to protest members were from Indivisible Richmond – Indivisible’s local team – and Together We Will.

The Dispatch reported in an article entitled “The women who are up in in Dave Brat’s Grill”: “After the election, a group of former Democratic staffers put together the Indivisible guide for how to approach lawmakers, which openly describes successful strategies used by the tea party movement.
