Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) tweeted this morning on the disrupted town halls:

Town hall meetings are an American tradition – we should allow everyone to express their views without disruption – even if we disagree!

This seems to be directed at protesters, more or less telling them to cut the stunts. McCain has a pretty solid record of stopping during town halls and speeches to ask protesters to be more respectful, even of his opponents. Remember the campaign events (like the one where a woman called Obama “an Arab“)?

For the record, a McCain spokeswoman tells us the tweet was “directed at everyone.”
