Â
U.S. Rep. Sean Casten (IL-6) – a progressive liberal Democrat and pro-transgender rights activist, made an extraordinary visit to downstate Illinois on Saturday for a series of town hall events in heavily Republican districts – in a move that sent shockwaves across the state.
But while the visit was unexpected, the real headliner was Illinois Republican leader and Republican National Committeewoman Rhonda Belford, who, according to posts on social media – denied pro-Trump Republicans from attending the event who were organizing and planning to peacefully protest the controversial Democratic congressman’s appearance in the ruby red congressional district.
