Voters at a town hall meeting in Missouri demanded that their Republican congressman denounce President Donald Trump’s “lies”—and told him to get his head “out of Trump’s a--.”
Rep. Mark Alford was the latest GOP lawmaker to host a contentious live event during the August recess despite party leaders advising their caucus to avoid in-person meetings with constituents. Other Republicans have been savaged with boos, jeers, and profanity.
The crowd at Alford’s Monday town hall—which was held at Southwest Baptist University campus in Bolivar—was largely civil, but the voters were no less scathing than those who drowned out his colleagues in other states with chants of “Lie! Lie!”
“You are not helping me. Believe me, you are not helping me,” said one older man who identified himself as Fred Higginbotham. “You need to take your head out of Trump’s a-- and start doing your representation of us,” he added, drawing some of the night’s loudest whoops and cheers.
