Last night, the mayor of Newton, IA (
@GettoKnowNewton
) ejected Noah Petersen (
@IcAntifa
) from a city council meeting for "defaming" the chief of police by calling him a "fascist":



Noah is now being prosecuted for disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, for bringing up a police officer's public record -- because it's "derogatory" to point that out.

This evening I was kidnapped at the Newton City Council meeting by the chief of police. This evening I began to read the statement attached. I after I read the second sentence I added that they are a pro-domestic abuse organization after that the mayor gaveled me ‘out of order’
