Republican Sen. Jeff Flake gets slammed in raucous town hall meeting

Posted on 04/14/2017 1:47:51 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Sen. Jeff Flake encountered a raucous audience at a town hall meeting in Mesa, Arizona, on Thursday night.

Constituents peppered the Republican lawmaker with questions about President Donald Trump's actions in office, and his broader agenda on climate change, the president's taxes, the Supreme Court and Planned Parenthood.

Much like other GOP town halls held since Trump assumed the Oval Office, attendees railed against Flake, many of whom accused him of being a rubber stamp for Trump. Flake, like Reps. Jason Chaffetz, Mike Coffman, and Sen. Mitch McConnell before him, attempted to answer the audience's concerns, though most explanations drew shouts and boos from the crowd.

That was especially evident when an audience member asked Flake about Trump's nearly weekly trips to his Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.

Yet Flake will get reelected next go around, proving these agitators aren’t an accurate representation of Arizona at large.

Probably not even from Arizona

I have no sympathy for Flake and about the same for the GOPe. This only shows that Flake needs to go. He is complicit in the invasion of Undocumented Soros Voters that have come across the undefended border.

Senator Flake has been totally disloyal to Deplorables and the conservative rhetoric that got him elected. Did he think it would make him acceptable to the maniacs?

The narrative of the stories in the news has changed, and Trump is being praised for Russia, and dropping the massive bomb, hence why we see the paid protesters back

Those disruptors are not conservatives. They are part of the donk strategy to take back the House.

Falke should not be re-elected.

The way you spelled "Flake" reminded me instantly of Die Fledermaus, my favorite opera, which, incidentally, is a farce, with people masquerading as anything but what they are. Sounds exactly like our two AZ senators. We need to clean house, but the GOPe always runs off qualified primary contenders.

"Falke" is one of the schemers in Fledermaus.

I understand that, but they oppose Jeff Flake, so they can’t be all bad!

If a representative holds a town hall, there should be some screening that those in the audience are his/her constituents. As far as the questions, they're coming from folks who wouldn't vote for Flake and didn't vote for Trump so he shouldn't put to much effort into his answers.
