Raucous Town Hall In Utah Blasts GOP Rep. Chaffetz Over Trump

Hundreds of jeering, shouting, angry voters, jam-packed in a high school auditorium, lashed GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz at his town hall meeting in the heart of red-state Utah.

Chaffetz was frequently drowned out by boos at Brighton High School, in a Salt Lake City suburb, over the course of Thursday night’s meeting, which he cut short. He was booed when he walked on stage, and he was often booed when he mentioned the name “Trump.”

The House Oversight Committee chairman was challenged on Donald Trump’s threat to eliminate Obamacare, his vow to slash support for women’s health by cutting Planned Parenthood funds, a push to sell public lands and the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as education secretary. At one point, Chaffetz promised the voters that they would be “happy with the bill to abolish the Department of Education.” The crowd was not amused.

Thousands of others who were not allowed in the auditorium because of police concerns about crowd control remained outside brandishing protest signs and chanting, “Chaffetz is a coward!” KOMO-TV reported, and “Do your job!” and “Your last term!”

One young girl asked Chaffetz what he was was going to do to protect the environment. “Do you believe in science? Because I do,” she said to loud cheers. “I don’t pretend to have all the answers,” he responded. “There are good people on both sides of the aisle,” he added to resounding boos.

“Where do you draw a line in the sand?” asked one woman in the audience regarding Trump’s potential conflicts of interest.

“Everyone has to comply with the law,” Chaffetz responded. “You’re really not going to like this part,” again to boos. “The president, under the law, is exempt from the conflict-of-interest laws.”

The leftist rent-a-mobs were likely there first, and in overwhelming numbers, so that the people who actually wanted in on the town hall could not attend.

Gotta get their earlier. Gotta step up our game.

With that victory margin. Where are these people coming from? Trump is only doing what he said he would do. How are they surprised? Unless of course they're all libs bused in. Infact some admit, they're not from his district.
