Loren Selig felt compelled to join a protest outside the Sig Sauer firearms headquarters Friday following the killing of 19 children and two teachers at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school this week. Protesters called for an end to manufacturing assault-style weapons and for legislation to require background checks and other measures.
N.H. committeeman among those targeted by Washington D.C. protesters
After the fireworks following President Donald Trump’s address to close out the Republican National Convention, Chris Ager started to walk back to his Washington, D.C. hotel along streets erupting with protesters. Ager, the Republican National Committeeman representing New Hampshire, walked with his jacket draped over his left arm and carried a pair of red heels belonging to the woman to his right. A crowd followed the pair in an exchange that was caught on video and viewed on social more than 3 million times by Friday afternoon.
