Republicans Were NOT Prepared For Town Hall Backlash

“Ah, Senate Majority Leader Mitchell "Mitch" McConnell. The real "evil one." You might remember him for such travesties as "Let's oppose everything Obama does, even if we agree with it!" and "I don't care that we all said we liked Merrick Garland before he was nominated, we're not going to hold a vote," and more recently, "I can't believe these Democrats are being so obstructionist! Where would they get such an idea?" So yeah, he's a morally bankrupt monster who acts as though the Internet doesn't exist and we can't all go see exactly what he said when Barack Obama was in office. But perhaps most frustrating about him is his insistence on being a condescending knucklehead who acts as though he has the moral high ground, even as he backs an incompetent misogynist in the White House. That is why this video (which is one of many of Republican legislators getting roasted at town halls) is "piping-hot McDonald's fries after getting stoned" levels of delicious.

McConnell held a town hall luncheon in Kentucky, after having a very professional sign out front...

McConnell proceeded to get screamed at by a righteously indignant constituent who called both the Senate majority leader and his shameful partner-in-crime Donald Trump out for claiming that he'll bring coal jobs back when that's pretty much guaranteed to never happen (some might call that a lie!), and simultaneously trying to strip away the health insurance from many of those same workers by attempting to repeal the ACA. It was a sight to behold.”

1:45 If only Mitch had remember to bring his shell with him to hide his head in shame in.
Maybe next time.

Mitch's face when she was talking was hilarious.

Mitch Mcconnell looks like he need to be in a retirement home.

I was about to say I loved that elder guy with the hat (still do)... but that last one with the blond woman with that epic "I'll sit down and shut up like Eliz. Warren" line. <--- THAT... was freaking epic. I would have had goosebumps if I was in that room, hahaha

[darlenebimbai]

This is the America I know and love. Keep fighting back and resisting, y'all.

Replace Obamacare with the Affordable Care Act!

[joeyshuny]

Where I live (North County San Diego) our representative Darryl Issa (R) failed to show up. He has all these commercials talking about his replacement for the ACA but then he doesn't show up to tell us what it is. What is the replacement idea?? There is none. They're lying again!!!

[johnomalley]

I am a little confused how this shit just started now. Why weren't these people doing this before?

[rjlabs]

If you listen closely, you may hear the heavy breathing and loud taps of fat fingers on a keyboard as the average trump supporter creates angry comments yelling "FAKE NEWS" out loud!!

[Will_Salcedo]

Republican representatives getting owned by their constituents, give em hell!!

[RosettisRevenge]

If they weren't ready for this just wait till the impeachment drops.

[KyleK]

I might add, the angry crowds in my town are very real. Hitting a little close to home now Trump, and everyone in Iowa Falls, IA now knows you are a liar!!

[davidcol]

the benghazi point is devastating. They cant have a response to it.

[BrianJWood-dldv]

trump voters starting to realize they've been conned.

[morrius]

I am so proud of my fellow liberals in my State "KY".

[georgef]

love love love this, finally the left has awoken.

[KainErrow]

I'm still waiting for a Republican that will drink the super-safe fracking water. They need to make it like that scene from 'Three Kings' where Mark Wahlberg gets force fed oil.

[Skyhurricane]

I must thank Trump...for making me a professional protester. Lol

[davidkramer]

Yeah all those elderly people were professional protesters haha

[john-b]

Calling off events because there is shouting?  I'm going to miss football.
