How many of these "constituents" are really constituents and how many were bussed to the Townhall?

One woman shouted that Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) was spreading “misinformation.”

Constituents of Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) flooded two town hall meetings on Saturday to confront and boo the congressman over the GOP’s vows to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and strip public funding from Planned Parenthood.

One event was supposed to take place in a senior center, but it moved outside because so many people showed up.

Attendees loudly booed Reed when he said he did not support public funds for Planned Parenthood.

“I do not support taxpayer-funded paying of abortion,” Reed said, prompting boos. A woman in the front of the crowd immediately fact-checked his remark.

“You, an elected official, [are] giving misinformation,” she said. “Right now, our taxes do not pay for abortions. They pay for mammograms, they pay for birth control.”

“Planned Parenthood, less than 3 percent of the services they provide is abortion. And none of that 3 percent is funded by you,” she added.

Indeed, the Hyde Amendment, passed in 1976 by Congress, prohibits the use of public funds to pay for abortions, so there is no “taxpayer-funded paying of abortion.”

The constituents also booed loudly when Reed offered details on what a replacement for Obamacare could look like. They jeered when he called the Affordable Care Act a “failing system” and suggested that a new system would give more Americans health savings accounts. Most Americans can’t afford to put aside the money required for these accounts.

The crowd chanted in unison, “How can the poor get savings accounts?”

When Reed said this could be fixed simply by growing the economy, the crowd booed loudly again.

At a second town hall meeting later in the day, Reed said Americans would get tax credits to pay for health insurance, according to the Buffalo News. When the audience asked how those credits would be used, Reed replied, “That is something we’re still working on.”

The angry confrontations have prompted some Republicans to cancel town hall appearances altogether.

Yes, Rep. Reed was clearly trying to spread misinformation. Thankfully, the crowd set him straight on the facts.

The crowd chanted in unison, “How can the poor get savings accounts?”


The GOP has a very simple answer for that question. It goes like this:

Fuck the poor.

Yeah, spontaneous outpouring from constituents have practiced prepared chants.


You liberals are so fucking dishonest, you can't even see how transparent you are.

You mean like "lock her up"?

No on believes that these are his constituents, not even you. Stop your lying.

Depends on where they are. For instance, in Salt Lake City, where they were chanting "do your job", no way can you find an entire building of liberals with zero conservatives. And when the people came out, they told reporters they voted for Trump. So they are all liars?

Believe it or not, Not every conservative will "shut up and sit down" when told to by their political leaders.

Chants are rarely spontaneous.

And yes, all lefties are liars.

In Buffalo? They'd have to be bussed about six hours from NYC....Pretty much all of Upstate NY is Con-servative.

If you are talking about Utah? Then from where were they bussed?

The state is 1% black.

The majority of Utah is Mormon.

At a guess from somewhere else.

So what if the state is 1% black or majority Mormon?

But Trump is telling the truth that millions of jobs are coming back from overseas.

It's magically delicious.

Germany has TWICE the level of manufacturing employment that we do. ANd slave wages is not way.

There is ever reason to expect that better trade policy can bring back quite a lot of those jobs.

And indeed, early indications are encouraging.

Yawn....any idea who's behind this LaKooKoo? Get off the left loon sites and you'll soon find out

You idiots on the left STILL haven't figured out why Trump won, have you? America is sick of this shit

Yes, I do know why Trump won!

I learned a new term today from my retired teacher roommate. She referred to Trump supporters as Educable Mentally Retarded (EMR). OMG, that is so true!

What is the definition of Educable Mentally Retarded?

Just demonstrates you don't know

If we don't reply to idiots, we can never engage with the other side at all.

Name the ones that do on premises elective abortions.

Sorry, not going to research every hospital, gynecologist, and medical clinic in the United States on a snipe hunt.

The point remains valid. If you don't want federal non-abortion monies going to any medical entity that performs abortions, fine go for it. But to say you hospitals, you gynecologists, and you other medical can continue abortion services and receive non-abortion reimbursements for MediCare/MadicAid services while Planned Parenthood cannot - that's just wrong.

So I support cutting funding to one organization? No.

Would I support cutting funding to ANY organization under those conditions? Wouldn't bother me if that's what the people want. Elective procedures are just that ELECTIVE, they should be paid for by the individual.

Does that include Viagra and various other erectile dysfunction aids for horny old men that is paid for by their insurance? BTW, if a woman is pregnant due to rape and/or incest - should she be forced to pay for an abortion? What about if her life is in danger? Even the draconian Hyde Amendment allows taxpayer funds for that.

If a woman is mugged and gets a broken jaw, does the government pay for it or does her insurance?

Actually, I do know. You and several others on this forum prove it each day.

PP only does elective abortions, revenues from their other services keep the lights on in the abortion clinic and pays for staff. It's just that simple.
