Constituent confronts Chris Collins: Why are you on CNN when you won’t hold a town hall in your district?

CNN’s Van Jones held his Messy Truth Town Hall series on Thursday night with New York Republican Congressman Chris Collins. One of his own constituents, Renee Sutton, stood up to ask Collins a question.

“I’ve been among those writing letters and demonstrating, demanding that you hold a public town hall in our district so we can meet with you and share with you, and have you listen to us … about how your legislative agenda impacts our families and lives,” Sutton said.

She promptly called him out afterwards. “So how do you justify your appearance here tonight — national audience here on CNN — outside of our district with an audience not consisting entirely of your constituents, when the actual people you represent are asking to meet with you and you’re refusing to do it?”

I especially like the part where she said

“Just because I didn’t vote for you, just because I don’t agree with your legislative agenda, am I any less entitled to your representation in Congress?” she asked. “Then please respond to my e-mails requesting that.”

She is completely right that most if not all of the Repugnants completely ignore the fact they are in office for everyone in their districts not just those who are in their party or only for those who voted for them.

1. imho, this is the most woke thing goin on.

for years and years, we didnt bother our red electeds. what was the point?
oh, yeah, to remind them that they rep us too.

indivisible.

[democratisphere]

2. Collins is a failed Buffalo NY local politician that was rewarded for his failings

by being elected to the HR by A-HOLE republiCON voters in his district. This jerk thinks he can ride on drumpf's coat tales to climb the ladder in the HR. Former County Executive Collins is chicken sh't about doing a Town Hall because he is loathed by the masses in the Greater Western NY Area. This beady eyed, opportunistic bastard is only out for himself and needs to be flushed from his position in the next election.

6. Coward Jamie Herrera Beutler is wortless too

She pulled the cowardly chicken shit dance of having a "phone town hall", which is an insult to anyone who wasted time staying on the phone to hear the inept, weak kneed clown shove off a propaganda info campaign where they select those question they want to address, respond with absolute bull shit talking points she mails out to us on a regular basis; and those having legitimate concerns are ignored and hidden from sight and ear shot.

Filthy, disgusting cowards. I'll NEVER waste my time with such a yellow bellied stunt again.

Shame on her, and shame on the rest of the repuKKKe cowards that pull that stunt. An insult to my voice and my representation. I am so pissed at her.

8. Ours did two "Facebook Town Hall" meetings -

briliant, in a district where most of his constituents have crappy Internet service. He evidently blathered on and on and didn't respond to tough questions. Again, he's in a safe district.

18. After this tRump debacle, there should be no such thing

as a "safe" district.

2018, here we come!

14. Cowardly Sam Graves pulls that crap, too

I despise him

[phylny]

7. This exactly describes my congressman in VA-05

He's all over TV, but has refused a town hall. He finally scheduled one in Charlottesville, a blue stronghold, at University of Virginia, and he's limited it to like 80 people. He's a coward.

His supporters say, "Too bad, so sad, we voted for him and he's doing what we want him to do. What did you expect?"

9. Is a form letter any better than no letter at all?

I get so f-----ing tired of form letters from the staffers. half the time they usually have nothing to do with my comments. Usually they are a month or more after my correspondence.

Message is simply "I don't give a fuck what you think, have some propaganda."

[Vinca]

10. Do we have anyone to run against this particular weasel?

He's got to go. He's at Steve King level of dumbness and his only purpose in life seems to be the kissing of orange ass.

[rtracey]

11. typical

His last answer was a shitbag. Fuckump is a solid A.... Fuck You asshole, you are a sellout, and you never really answered the lady. You just cant handle confrontation....

13. I have a letter from Jim talent ... When he was a senator in Missouri ...

Telling me that he would not represent me me .. Because I am on the wrong side of the aisle

Pigfukkers ...all of them

[cstanleytech]

15. You would think that would be a clear violation of their oath but to Repugnants

things like oaths, honor, compassion, empathy and charity get tossed to the side pretty fast it seems.

[Judi Lynn]

16. Jim Talent! He's been out of sight recently. Hope it means he stepped into an open man hole. n/t

[Judi Lynn]

17. Hope he felt nailed but good. Republicans have no sense of shame, however.

They need to keep the heat on. Hope this will be his last term.
