Someone doesn't want to face angry constituents.Over the past few weeks, we have seen an escalation of protesters at congressional town halls across the nation, Mullin said in a statement, KJRH reported. We have even seen them right here in the Second District.
Hes referring to a March town hall flooded with angry constituents, one of which Mullin had a heated exchange with. He asked a woman to stop holding up a sign and she refused, saying he can drag her away in handcuffs.
I find it appalling. You can sit there and do what you want but youre defeating what youre trying to get done, he said.

In an April 10 town hall, Mullin engaged in another difficult meeting. His constituents repeatedly told him that he worked for them as a public servant but Mullin believes it is a service he provides to the constituents.
One, you say you pay for me to do this, thats bull crap, I pay for myself to do this, Mullin claimed. This is a service.

(54,671 posts)Bridenstine (my representative) had his and got shouted down several times. He acted like such an asshole trying to downplay it. But, I said to my husband, "I really don't understand why people are so upset, they voted for this asshole and his new boss!" BTW, Bridenstine is up for the NASA administrator.
