GOP Rep Drives Away From Constituent Asking About Minimum Wage Increase
A Vietnam veteran in Wisconsin will have to wait until next year to find out if Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) supports raising the minimum wage, after the Tea Party Congressman shut his door and drove away from the question.
Yesterday, in video flagged by CREDO SuperPAC, a constituent approached Duffy outside a meeting in Wausau and attempted to ask him a question about the minimum wage. Duffy told the man hes already held his single yearly town hall, got in his car, shut his door, and drove away, leaving the veteran tried to shout his question through the cars rolled up window:
CONSTITUENT: Mr. Duffy, when are you going to hold your next town hall meeting?
DUFFY: We said were going to do one every year, and weve done that. So if you want to come set up an appointment in my office, wed be happy to have you come on by.
CONSTITUENT: What Id like to know is the law to raise the minimum wage
[Duffy drives off]
