Trump supporters got their tickets to attend Maxine Waters’ town hall meeting in Gardena California, but they were barred from entering the building.
Although the Trump supporters received tickets for the event and there were no stipulations that certain people were barred from being part of the event, they were treated as “second class citizens” because they supposedly did not live in her district.

Video from outside the venue shows about 50 Trump supporters waving American flags and Trump banners and chanting, “Let us in!” as they pointe out that Waters doesn’t live in her own district, either.
Police blocked the doors and prevented them from entering.
The non-constituents were identified with yellow wrist bands.
“The yellow wrist band means that you are branded that you cannot go in the building,” one woman said.
“You are forced to sit outside, even though we registered,” she added.
As the Trump supporters tried in vain to enter the building, Waters could be heard over loud speakers.
It appeared Waters cherry picked a friendly audience so she wouldn’t be challenged over ridiculously partisan stunts at the official event, like chanting “Impeach 45,” referring to Trump.

Los Angeles Times reports:
Inside, chants of “USA! USA!” could be heard from around 80 protesters who paced back and forth outside the venue.
Waters’ opponents were dressed in pro-Trump garb and called her “Dirty Waters.”
Chanell Temple said she lost her job a few years ago and hasn’t been able to find a new one because she doesn’t speak Spanish. She said Waters has destroyed the black community by supporting immigrants.
Waters criticized key members of President Trump’s cabinet, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. She said Housing Secretary Ben Carson should go back to being a surgeon and that she’ll “take him apart” when he goes before the House Committee on Financial Services, of which she is the ranking Democrat.
Waters said some Republicans might vote against the healthcare bill.
She told the crowd that they deserve a president who will represent everyone. A woman in the audience stood up with a sign that said “Impeach Mad Max” and began walking through the rows and up to the foot of the stage, yelling that Waters needs to go.
Waters didn’t skip a beat. She led her supporters in a chant to “Impeach 45,” repeating it over and over as her supporters turned to face the woman and narrowed in on her, clapping to the beat. The chant lasted more than four minutes.
A short while later, Waters closed by repeating a phrase that millennials, who call her “Auntie Maxine,” taught her: “Stay woke.”
