Patrick Maloney (D-NY) holds Trumpcare town hall that John Faso (R-NY) was too scared to attend [View all]



Rep. Patrick Maloney (D-NY) trolled Rep. John Faso (R-NY) in his colleague’s own district on Monday, holding a town hall in Faso’s place after the GOP congressman refused to face his constituents to explain why he voted for the American Healthcare Act.

Faso was one of 217 House Republicans to vote for the GOP’s Obamacare replacement plan last Thursday, despite lacking a score from the Congressional Budget Office.

Faso was invited to Monday’s “Save our Healthcare Town Hall” in Kingston, but a spokesman last week said he would not attend the event. In a tweet Saturday, Maloney said if his Republican colleague refused to answer constituents’ questions, he would.

“I’m not doing you a favor by answering your questions if I represent you. It’s my job,” Maloney said at the town hall Monday.
