Congressmen Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) were slammed during separate town hall meetings in California on Saturday as voters rounded on the proposed GOP health care bill, as well as the Trump administrations assault on environmental protections, its treatment of immigrants and its links to Russia.
Some 500 people packed into a community center in Oceanside, California, to hear Issa speak. Scores more protested outside, forcing the official to host a second meeting to accommodate the crowd.
As the audience became increasingly angry, the nine-term congressman quipped: I dont mind that things are contentious. I just dont want things to end like the play Hamilton but voters werent laughing.
At both meetings, voters voiced concerns about the elimination of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. When Issa refused to say Affordable Care Act because its not affordable he was met with a crescendo of jeers and chants of, Do your job.

(51,557 posts)And Paul Ryan's presentation???? That bastard was orgasmic at the thought of killing so many people. Seriously, I thought he was going to shoot his wad then and there. They are not even trying to hide it anymore. They are pure evil and that is way to bland a word to describe them.

(18,634 posts)My fear is that they are all Democrats so they don't really have any influence with the Republican Congressmen.
Republicans only care about Republicans and couldn't give a shit if Democrats, who don't vote for them, have problems.
