Doug LaMalfa Event: Redding Tea Party Orders Media Blackout At Town Hall (VIDEO)

Media attendees at Rep. Doug LaMalfa's (R-Calif.) first town hall were left with a head-scratcher.

The Redding Record-Searchlight reported late Monday that a Tea Party group instituted a blackout during the scheduled Q&A section of LaMalfa's appearance. The paper claims that it was also asked to refrain from tweeting his comments, or face a potential ban from future events.

This is the same idiot who said that abortion causes cancer.

LaMalfa took office in January after defeating Jim Reed in the 2012 House race for California's 1st District. He turned heads with September comments linking abortion to cancer.

"Research has shown there is that there is that higher level of incidence, there is that risk and so I would want women to be fully informed of all the aspects of it before they would make a decision like that," he said during a mid-September debate aired on KRCR-TV. "I think that shows more care for women then by simply shuffling them off to an abortion mill and so that's a very important distinction that needs to be made."

LaMalfa later backed off the claim, admitting in a statement that he was misinformed.

Abortions don't cause cancer! They merely increase the chances of getting it. Stupid TEA Baggers!
