re: #43 sattv4u2

No meetings had turned violent until
A) Union members were told to attend as a counter balance to the people questioning why we need this
and
B) The white house told supporters to “punch twice as hard”

Uh … the “punch back twice as hard” line is not even remotely about hitting demonstrators. From the context of the article, it’s clear he’s talking metaphorically about hitting back at “critics of the Democratic plan.”
