Constituents Clobber GOP Congressman At Town Hall: ‘May You Die In Pain’
“I want you to know that these are life and death decisions that you are making,” one audience member said.



Angry constituents lashed out at a Republican congressman’s support of repealing Obamacare during a tense town hall event earlier this week.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.) was speaking to a large crowd of constituents in Chico, California, on Monday when town hall when audience members began to boo and heckle him over his support of House Republicans’ health care bill. According to the Congressional Budget Office, around 23 million people would lose coverage under the American Health Care Act.

“I think that your vote to throw 22 million people off of health care is reprehensible and in the service of the rich, I think it’s venal,” one audience member said. “My sincerest wish... I hope you suffer the same painful fate as those millions that you have voted to remove health care from. May you die in pain.”

According to the Los Angeles Times, the constituent was a holding sign that read, “Lackey for the Rich!” The exchange was one of several heated confrontations during the meeting, one of several that LaMalfa has held this year. Republicans lawmakers have largely avoided town-hall style events following outrage over their health care plans.
