Across the country, Republican lawmakers continue to receive massive backlash from their angry constituents after they threw Americans under the bus to pass Trump’s billionaires-first budget. In response, DNC Deputy Communications Director Abhi Rahman released the following statement: 

“Republicans are finding out the hard way that they can’t hide from the fury they created when they put billionaires over their own constituents. At town halls across the country, Americans are letting Trump’s congressional lackeys know there will be electoral consequences for ripping away families’ health care and food assistance to line the pockets of billionaires.”

At his first town hall in eight years, California GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa was drowned out by angry constituents frustrated about Trump’s disastrous agenda.

“Another Republican lawmaker has faced a cacophony of boos and jeers when coming face-to-face with the general public to defend President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda.

“Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) felt the wrath of constituents over the huge tax and spending bill, the trade war, and the crackdown on immigration when speaking during a town hall in Chico, California, on Monday.

“Tensions ran so high that LaMalfa, who was reportedly holding his first in-person forum in close to eight years, was repeatedly called a ‘liar’ when doing his utmost to justify the president’s policies. …

“LaMalfa was also drowned out by boos when delivering the standard Republican line about eliminating ‘waste and fraud’ to justify cutting Medicaid. …

“‘You liar!’ was one audible response among the dissonance.”

In Wyoming, Rep. Harriet Hageman received jeers and boos from constituents after spewing false rhetoric at a town hall meeting.

“Wyoming’s U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, responding to a question during a recent town hall event in Pinedale, said she is ‘strongly in support of repealing the endangerment finding.’ The landmark 2009 doctrine classified greenhouse gases as pollutants and legally obliged federal agencies to regulate their emissions under the Clean Air Act.

“The Republican congresswoman added, ‘The endangerment finding is absolutely based upon false science.’

“A chorus of boos rose from the crowd assembled on July 29, along with guffaws and several people shouting, ‘No!’

“Hageman continued over the outburst: ‘CO2 [carbon dioxide] is not a pollutant. As far as the validity and the science that was the foundation for that, they cooked the books.’

“Many of her Sublette County constituents weren’t having it. The booing continued, along with one person shouting, ‘Lie, lie,’ as Hageman pressed on.”
