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

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.

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

This Senator isn’t a conservative and he isn’t in the House.

August primary. McCain had a Democrat in a D jersey opposing this Democrat in an R jersey in November.

Why are we not at Schumer’s town hall meetings chanting and raising H*ll? The left acts and we talk.

Flake is a never Trumper and will be much easier to primary than McCain. I hope Ward tries again.

This morning NPR gleefully reported on Flake getting hassled at his town hall. In the clips of him speaking he actually sounded pretty good and unrattled. Stood up for “market based’’ healthcare which I thought was commendable. I don’t know much about Flake but he was clearly the good guy in this exchange.

Flakes a never Trumper who doesn’t support any of President Trumps positions. In January, someone named DeWitt was asked by Trump to run against Flake. I believe DeWitt is treasurer.

“Paid leftists to cause trouble.”

Probably paid for by Flake.

OK, good to know. I guess he was the relative good guy in that exchange.

Tell them to vote for someone else if they do not like what the President is doing. Am sure they would be happier with the liberals and Democrats. Their past record is s good. Wake up fools.

Of course. They have been disrupting meetings in other states as well. Soros and the Lefts goal is to prevent free speech to the GOP.

At some point the Republicams need to passionately explain their positions. Otherwise the are simply RINOs or not effective.
