Republicans on the run: CA congressman runs from town hall as crowd chants 'Shame on you!'

Congressman Tom McClintock runs from constituents who want him to represent them

I’ll give him credit, at least Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) showed up to talk with his constituents. But, it sounds as if he defended the Republican agenda and the crowd was not having it:

Facing a packed auditorium and raucous crowd, Republican Congressman Tom McClintock on Saturday defended his party’s national agenda and voiced strong support for President Donald Trump’s disputed executive actions to scale back Obamacare, ban refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries and build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Vote him out,” hundreds of demonstrators chanted outside the Tower Theatre in downtown Roseville, the Republican-heavy population center of McClintock’s sprawling congressional district. Inside the theater, more than than 200 people

McClintock eventually fled the town hall and was escorted by a large group of police to a waiting SUV that sped away as the crowd chanted, “Shame on you!”

Before they try to paint these constituents as violent anarchists or any other such nonsense, here is a view of the overflow crowd that couldn’t get in the theater and waited to talk with him when he left the main theater.
