(Full title: 'Interrupted by boos': GOP lawmaker
confronted by 'angry crowd' in 'deep red' Texas county)
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) was met with chants of "do your
job" at a town hall on Saturday.
Self is just the latest to receive such treatment, coming
the same day as Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) was called a
coward as he departed the stage at a town hall in Kansas
over the weekend where he was asked about how federal
cuts are harming veterans.
Democratic insider Aaron Fritschner posted a video from
Self’s town hall in Wylie, Texas, over the weekend,
adding, "Another large, angry crowd at a Republican town
hall in a deep red district."

Part of Self's interaction was also posted publicly by
The Tennessee Holler, and shared by non-profit newsroom
Texas Signal.
"In North Texas Congressman Keith Self is having a hard
time selling Elon Musk's cuts and layoffs," the Signal
wrote.
In local reporting, the Princeton Herald reported that
Self was "often interrupted by boos."
Local Republicans, on the other hand, took to social
media to complain about the protestors.
"This morning, Congressman Keith Self hosted a town hall
to connect with constituents, but unfortunately, many
Democrats showed up only to cause disruptions. We’ve seen
multiple videos where, instead of engaging in meaningful
discussion, protesters resorted to shouting over his
responses," they wrote. "This behavior is unfair to the
many residents who attended to learn more about the
issues that impact our community. Now more than ever, we
must stand together!"

I'm hearing in texas, it's not just "Democrats" that
are showing up angry to meetings, it's independents and
republicans too.
I see that they're trying to frame it as just
democrats, but there are a helluva lot of republican
federal workers and contractors and even farmers'
subsidies a getting cut and pissed off, too. There are
a lot of republicans worried about their SS, SDI and
medicaid.
There are a lot of republican veterans very concerned
about the VA (as well as indep. and democrat veterans).
This cuts across all lines.
The constitution belongs to all Americans, and they get
equally pissed off when they see it trashed by a rich
billionaire and their livelihood or health might depend
on how many lattes "Big Balls" had before showing up at
his computer that morning.
