A California town hall meeting attended by Adam Schiff descended into chaos after pro-Trump hecklers clashed with constituents after calling the congressman a 'liar over the president's impeachment.

Schiff was at the event in Glendale, near Los Angeles, hosted by the Armenian National Committee of America on Saturday to discussing how recognizing the Armenian Genocide was a significant bipartisan issue.

However, a number of people in the crowd began shouting at him a few minutes into his remarks and protesters held up signs reading 'Don't Impeach.'

Guests at the event asked them to lower their signs, which they refused to do.

Some on Twitter have suggested that the group who disrupted the Schiff's speech are a white supremacist gang called the American guard.

Schiff, one of the main players in the impeachment inquiry, has become a hate figure for Trump and many of his supporters. He has represented Glendale, which contains the largest Armenian population outside of Armenia, since 2001.

'Liar!' at least one person at the meeting yelled.

Things only got worse.

'You will be going to jail for treason!' one man bellowed. 'No disrespect to you all, I'm glad you guys are getting recognized for your genocide, but this man is a f****** liar!'

Schiff continued to speak, unfazed, but then more protesters joined in.

Scuffles then broke out after the congressman stepped away from the podium.

One grey-haired man began tugging on a blue-and-red Trump flag from one of the protesters. He ended up falling backwards after the man who was originally holding it let go.

Organizers struggled to take control of the event as the melee lasted for around five minutes - and all of it was caught on video.

Three Glendale police officers raced into the room, according to LAMag, and managed to get the protesters outside.

Schiff's supporters then rallied and began chanting his name with the crowd shouting, 'Adam! Adam!' before those who had disrupted the meeting were ushered out of the room.

Schiff had been at the meeting to talk about the U.S. governments acknowledgment of the mass murder of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire, which is now modern-day Turkey.

The Congressman managed to secure a 405-11 vote in the House in October in favor of designating the atrocities as genocide.

Last week a similar bill passed unanimously in the Senate.

The meeting quickly turned to chaos and seemed to be on the brink of violence at points

Republican Donald Trump is likely this week to become the third president to be impeached when the Democratic-led House of Representatives votes on charges stemming from his effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden.

Trump faces one charge of abusing his power by asking Ukraine to investigate Biden, a leading Democratic contender to oppose him in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, and one of obstructing Congress' investigation into the matter.

The president has denied wrongdoing.

'It's a clear and present danger ... to our democracy,' House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, whose panel spearheaded the investigation into Trump's actions, told ABC's 'This Week' program on Sunday.

'The misconduct hasn't stopped,' Schiff added, saying that Trump has still urged Ukraine, as well as China, to investigate the Bidens, and that Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, recently traveled to Ukraine to conduct a 'sham' investigation.

Republicans have defended Trump and accused Democrats of a politically motivated effort aimed at overturning his upset 2016 victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Trump has alleged the Bidens were involved in corruption in Ukraine and should be investigated there, but has offered no evidence. Biden, a former vice president, has denied wrongdoing.
