"This provision was unknown to me when I voted for the bill,” he finished, to loud yells from the crowd.
You have one job, asshole. Know what the fuck you're voting on.
Citizens knowing more about the bills that reps vote on than the reps that vote on those bills defeats the purpose of those reps in the first place. They were supposed to know this shit for us. He's inexcusably unqualified if his constituents are educating him about the bill he voted for.
So are we about to fuck shit up or no
I'm sharpening my pitchfork. My guess is that SCOTUS might rule this unconstitutional but I trust them about as much as a junkie in a pharmacy.
You didn't need to qualify it.
He literally said it out loud. If I were in his district I would be furious.
he knew, he just didn't care.
This provision was widely reported on before the vote. Maybe he should pull his head out of the Conservative Propaganda Machine and check out some real news for a change.
Hell , I knew about it, and I don't know who this asshole is, really
So how long until people just beat the shit out of one of these guys at a town hall?
Their supporters can't even stop voting for them
Why do you think most of them have refused to do town halls?
He's lying. He knew.
here's a story i found:

and here's the full town hall. i don't have time right now to find the exact moment mentioned here, but i'll probably try if someone else doesn't beat me to it (hint hint):

(edit - fixed 2nd link - thanks Odo)
Imagine hearing all that and not charging the stage. Wild.
here's my out-of-ass prediction: more will start happening now that it's getting warmer. this summer is going to be HOT in more than one way. you'll see groups start to resist when people are removed from town halls. you'll see more neighbors coming together against having ice agents in their area. i don't see much in the way of protests, but there's bound to be an incident in the next month or two that sparks nation-wide riots. i could go on, but my candle just burned out and my quill nib is running dry.
FYI, you linked the same video twice.
meh, you get what you pay for :P
gimme a sec, i'll see if i can find the right link
edit - fixed it above - thanks
I thought they made a bbq out of him for a moment
