Clue to what appears to be moving Chaffetz to (finally) criticize Trump administration

Cong Chaffetz being drowned out by angry crowd at his town hall @UtahIndivisible













Jason Chaffetz @jasoninthehouse
What she did was wrong, wrong, wrong. Here is our bi-partisan letter to the White House and OGE. #Donteverdothis https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Letter-to-OGE-re-Conway-Endorsement-FINAL.pdf

Chaffetz is running down Betsy Devos in a desperate attempt to win over his constituents.

Jason met his constituents, found out they actually expect him to do his job, and he couldn't get away with a "but Hillary..." If the voters start holding these arrogant a-holes accountable, maybe they will stop automatically rubber-stamping whatever President Bannon demands. I would dearly love to see him lose his job.

I find it hard to believe that a Congressman wearing a scarlet letter "R" is in trouble in a VERY RED state at this point. I'd like to hear more about what has the people upset. Could it be that they want him to somehow make all of Drumpf's Exec. orders magically legal - perhaps do something more about getting more of Mad Cheeto's ideas directly into law?

As much as we'd all wish it, I don't think there's a major groundswell of "Throw Him Out!" I just saw a survey on the MSN homepage that had a survey asking if you agreed with the Appeals Court decision. 52% of the respondents said NO!

Again, I wish it would all go away tomorrow (or at least before Cheeto's next middle-of-the-night Tweet) but I think we've got a YUGE fight ahead. BUT FIGHT WE MUST!!!!

but Salt Lake City has a huge sub culture. If you want a good tattoo or a safe excellent piercing go to SLC. I can only guess that a lot of the crowd is from there.

Which means, sadly, that Chaffetz will actually have to care (and do something about) their complaints.

Great job by these constituents!

Looks like the tables have turned. It's about time the government fears the people for a change.

The people are fed up. No wonder he backed down.

Kudos to everyone there. Nice job!
