“Wholly appropriate.”
A staunch Trumper who can find no fault with anything he does, Ann Wagner fully supports the president burning the Israelis, an ally, by sharing the intel they shared with us, with a hostile foreign actor who likely relayed it to Israel’s greatest threat, Iran.
That touches on the central criticism of Trump’s reported revelations to the Russians: that the president, by offering a specific piece of intelligence with a source that could be traced, potentially exposed “sources and methods” of spying that are among the most closely held secrets of any nation’s intelligence gathering. Critics also said Trump may have identified the nation that was the source of the information, compromising a key ally in the war against terrorism. [5/16/17 St Louis Post-Dispatch]
She refuses to meet with constituents, instead referring to voters who would like to hear from her as "radical leftists" who hold “bogus townhall meetings.”
Constituents in Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District held their own town hall forum in Ballwin Thursday night because they say Republican Ann Wagner won’t meet with them. Organizer Kitt Wroth says Wagner was definitely aware that it was happening.
She says she has called, emailed and gone directly to her office in Ballwin, but only gets as far as the front office staff.
“We have asked her multiple times, in fact we have actually come out here several times since February to try to meet with her to get her to hear our concerns about her positions on the Affordable Care Act,” says Wroth.

The people she derides as "radical leftists” are anything but:
In a letter to the editor, Paul Gordon of Manchester explains, "The attendees at the town hall event are Rep Ann Wagner’s constituents. They are teachers, students, scientists, retirees, business owners, and church, synagogue and mosque members. They are men, women and children with epilepsy, arthritis and cancer; they are people who came aided by canes and walkers.
He continues, "They are people who have real life stories; they are people who will be affected by the policies that Ann Wagner votes for in Congress. These people deserve to be heard by Ann Wagner, yet not only didn’t she attend the town hall or deign to reply to our request to attend, she issues a statement denigrating the very people she is supposed to serve.
We are working to put up a billboard calling out Ann Wagner for her horrible and destructive opinions (remember her cackling "freedom” during the TrumpCare vote?).
We have identified a location and a budget and are working with media professionals to make this work. There is a good chance we’re going to bring this in under the original estimate.
And once we get this billboard up, we’re going to working in outstate Missouri, helping progressives in those areas whose voices are not being held and whose representatives go unchallenged day after day, year after year.
We’re working to turn Missouri blue. Can you help? If you’re in a safe blue area, consider throwing something our way. We need help!
