Critics of Republican U.S. Rep. Dave Brat and the House health care bill he voted for packed a raucous town hall meeting in his Virginia district Tuesday night, booing and shouting down the congressman from start to finish.
Brat is the latest in a series of lawmakers across the country who have gotten an earful from constituents at town hall meetings since last week’s passage of the House health care bill that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. […]
A former economics professor who defeated then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a historic 2014 upset, Brat briefly discussed the health care bill before seguing into dozens of audience questions. Most of them were about the measure.

That's racist.
Upset conservative voters would not act as these people do.
On top of that, there were several carrying posters depicting tombstones. These are those who are opposing any kind of action against the ACA (Obamacare).
Shame on you for trying to cloud the issue with common sense and logic.
Wonder if the same agitators show up in multiple states/districts?
More fake news, meant to spread the lie that these are Republican voters or regular citizens - when in fact they are paid democrat protesters.
From past experience and admission of the democrat party is why.
Governor Christie of New Jersey held a number of townhalls over a period of several years. They would have a very short lead time from public announcement to event, and all the Republican organizations would receive the heads up a week or two prior to that. It worked well at the ones I attended; we arrived early and took most of the available space. The lefties were not shut out, but were kept in check numerically. Some were called upon and got to ask their questions. But there were too few to really disrupt the event.
“Something has to be done about these lefty invaders of town hall meetings.”
Yeh, like so-called conservatives getting off their fat, useless butts and showing up at these townhalls to defend their conservative congressman.
