The heckling at a town hall hosted by Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa on Monday morning got so bad that a constituent — who identified himself as a Democrat — asked the crowd if interrupting the lawmaker was productive.
LaMalfa, a Republican from a safely red northern California district, faced questions and criticism on a range of topics, from the reconciliation bill passed by Republicans this summer to redistricting. He’s the latest Republican to face down angry crowds back home over the Trump administration’s agenda in Washington.
“Why are you part of this movement toward fascism?” a constituent asked about an hour into the town hall in Chico, California.
