kyung lah joins us now with the latest.yung, is the president wrong when he says this is organized? because a lot of folks are showed one signs and it seems organized. >> they're not being directly organized. and that's the nuance here. is that this is very much, anderson, a grassroots movement. but they are following the same guide. it is a guide called the indivisible guide. we tracked it back to the people who wrote it. they wrote it shortly after the election. they put it out. it became a viral sensation. these are former d.c. congressional staffers. and everyone's following the same manual. so they're all doing the same thing. and then what you get are these scenes that you're seeing here played out across the country at these town halls. they know to show up. they know to ask certain questions. and then you get to hear what we heard tonight at virginia congressman dave frat's town hall. take a listen. >> eight years of obstruction. >> you stole the supreme court pick. you stole it. >> don't let -- >> is there a single
