https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/05/13/woman-attempts-to-drive-gop-congressman-off-road-over-health-care-vote-police-say/?utm_term=.28ae2fda84b0A Tennessee woman hated that her congressman voted for the controversial Republican health-care bill in the House of Representatives, authorities said.
So Wendi L. Wright tried to run Rep. David Kustoff (R-Tenn.) off the road after he visited the University of Tennessee at Martin, they said.
The Weakley County Sheriffs Department said Wright tailed the car carrying Kustoff. At some point, the congressman and his aide became afraid and worried that Wright wanted to force them off the road.
They then turned into a driveway and stopped. Thats where Wright got out, screamed at the congressman and struck the windows of his vehicle, even reaching inside the car, the sheriffs department said.

that could affect even them when millions of uninsured people become mentally-ill and turn their homocidal rage on their congresscritters. They should have visions of the gray panthers coming at them with suicide belts if they dare to touch Social Security.
