Republicans Keep Getting Booed at Their Own Town Halls

Republicans Keep Getting Booed at Their Own Town Halls - Mother Jones
The last week of the August recess brought jeers, laughs, and unanswered questions.


It hasn’t been a great last week of the August recess for Republican members of Congress. At town hall events across the country, attendees booed, laughed, jeered, and demanded answers as their GOP representatives tried to defend... Donald Trump’s agenda.

The list of issues angering their constituents is long—everything from the Trump-backed cuts to Medicaid and other impacts of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, to the deployment of the National Guard to Democratic-run cities, to the lack of transparency over the Epstein files.

On Thursday, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) held a town hall in which attendees booed as he touted some of the Trump administration’s work; they demanded he “release the Epstein files.”

The day before, Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) fled his town hall through a back door, video obtained by NBC News shows, after constituents shouted “shame” and questioned him about the lack of due process afforded to immigrants and others whom the Trump administration has detained. (“Due process for a citizen and a noncitizen are different,” Moore claimed.)

a sack-o-shite SO far, so why should that change (they figure).

But then again, they're not running around trying to RIG the midterms for NOTHING.
