Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Friday said a group of people booing him at a town hall meeting last week was "more of a paid attempt to bully and intimidate" than a reflection of the feelings of his constituents, the Deseret News reports.
"You could see it online a couple days before, a concerted effort in part to just cause chaos," Chaffetz said Friday. "Democrats are in disbelief that they have nothing but flailing and screaming to deal with this."
The Utah Republican held a town hall meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, last Thursday where he was heckled and booed by the crowd after he said the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee would not be pursuing any conflict issues concerning President Donald Trump. About 1,000 were in attendance.

Needs to be investigated and proven
I saw that “Town Hall” meeting on the news.
A bunch of screaming moonbats, probably paid by Soros.
One old gray-haired broad jumped up in the front row with her arms flailing.
It was pathetic.
Right on!
‘Rats - the Rule or Ruin party.....
When they do it to the jerkweed traitor Chaffetz I don’t care. I wish we could primary this skunk in 2018.
If he was bright he would have figured this out BEFORE the event and canceled.
Don’t trust this guy at all.
Seems that if he brought in the bikers fewer moonrats would show!
I wonder if chaffetz was paid to file charges against Kelly Conway for supporting ivanka
Get some drunk Hells Angels in there like at the Altamont Free concert in 1969.
Booing this guy is like booing McCain or Graham - I don’t care who does it as long as it gets done.
I’m sure many would volunteer if the call went out!
+1
They show up and act uncivilly.
When you challenge their rude behavior they scream First Amendment Rights and say they didn’t do anything to intimidate anyone.
Brownshirts, one and all.
Chaffetz has all the fangs and scalp collection of Issa and Gowdy: ZERO, and there’s a reason for that.
It pisses them off that they can't do it though. The Tea Party was truly organic, and it came about more as anger and frustration towards Republican gutlessness than about "hating" Obama.
What a putz.
We need the Teaparty in the fight at these Town Halls ....or we are going to lose to George Soros Red Guard of the Obama Cultural Revolution
Teaparty member!!!! it time to mount up and ride ..or we lose! It does not matter if Trump was your choice or not any more... Trump does one thing the rest of the GOP never did... he fights!!!
Yes, Trump fights and needs help in Congress.
Weasels like Chaffetz need to be Cantorized and replaced with people like Dave Brat.
