Rep. Bob Titus held a fundraiser recently. It was held at Affinity Riverside Estate in Springfield. It was very well attended by supporters, as well as elected officials. Congressman Eric Burlison was slated to attend but had to be back in Washington D.C. for the vote to reopen the federal government. He did appear via phone video, and endorsed Rep. Titus.
There was, however, a very interesting occurrence at the event. There were protesters present. The paid kind, in my opinion.

Perhaps they believed Congressman Burlison was going to be there. Perhaps they were sent specifically to send a message to the other elected officials who attended. Protesters were stationed at both the bottom and top of the entrance to the venue. They were not a large number, perhaps 10, and as you can see from the photo, they were there to intimidate more than to protest.
Some were masked, some had bullhorns, most had signs. At the top of the entrance way, one of the protesters stayed busy filming the vehicles of all who drove up. In the darkness, it was difficult to figure out what they were protesting, although there was a lot of yelling.
On the way out, I rolled down my window and inquired of one of the protesters what they were specifically protesting.
"You are gonna pay, fascist," was the reply.
This is the kind of rhetoric (h/t to Dash) that solves nothing. The fact it was most likely paid protesters intimates the Cabal who runs things in Missouri is getting nervous. They sense a move of something they cannot control.
It's getting ugly out there. Stand fast.
