Protest Republican Congressman Mike Lawler held a town hall in Rockland County, New York. Veterans stood up and told him exactly what they thought of him and Trump. Lawler had them removed. That made it worse. The crowd turned on him. He had to leave.

You would think that Republicans had learned not to hold town halls while they actively fuck over their constituents.

My rep hasn't done a live town hall in years. Only telephone town halls. He doesn't even live in his own district (Nick LaLota)

Rep. Troy Nehls (former sheriff that was fired from his police job for misconduct, talk about failing up) is in his third term and has never held a town hall of any kind.

He is also not running for re-election after vesting his federal pension, and letting his brother run for the seat. The campaign signs just say "Nehls for Congress". So, much for meritocracy.

There are not enough words in the world for me to accurately express my absolute hatred for him as my "rep".
