Protests breaking out at GOP town hall meetings could stop Republican lawmakers from fully repealing the Affordable Care Act, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said on Thursday.
"I don't know if we're going to be able to repeal Obamacare now because these folks who support Obamacare are very active," Brooks said during an interview on "The Morning Show with Toni and Gary" radio program, highlighted by CNN.
"They're putting pressure on congressmen and there's not a counter-effort to steel the spine of some of these congressmen in tossup districts around the country," he continued.
Brooks said that Republican lawmakers might not vote to repeal former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law at all.
"You might see something where they call it a repeal but really it's an amendment," he said.

Protest shmotests. Repeal Obamacare!
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
Mail him one of those pink hats. I think it would suit him.
BS. Those reluctant to repeal were reluctant RINO’s BEFORE these TH melees. They now have their convenient excuse.
BS.
Repeal this turd.
Democrats implemented it over the protests of FAR more people.
Republicans should have the balls to do the same.
Obamacare was passed unconstitutionally through deceit and trickery.
It needs to be destroyed.
If the GOP will not do that - F’em - we will find someone else and Trump is just the beginning.
GOP weaklings: Do you think this organized astroturf is ever going to vote for you? The people who voted for you are TOO BUSY WORKING to show up and drown them out
Surrender to this mayhem and see if anyone votes for you

ACA, ie: Obamacare, is here to stay.
TPTB admitted admitted it was an incremental step toward Gov’t Single payer health care.
Of the 21 million depending upon the ACA, 16 million have been added to Medicaid programs.

Gubermint aid programs will expand to fill the void.
Just as planned.
Hey GOP! Dummies! These “protesters” are Fascist Democrats!
GOP - Repeal Obamacare or be cast into the outer darkness for 40 years. Non negotiable. Failure to repeal Obamacare is a suicide pact for the GOP.
What a craven sniveling dumb ass, he pretends not to recognize astroturf when he sees it.
...”I don’t know if we’re going to be able to repeal Obamacare now because these folks who support Obamacare are very active...
And they are organized and well funded liberal agitators. The Rep is so scared he needs to change underwear.
The PPACA isn’t working for me and millions of other citizens.
Kill it before it kills some of us.
Let insurers bring affordable, life-saving products to market.
