Video: Constituents Get Kicked Out of Dave Brat "Open House" for Absolutely No Good Reason
Video: Constituents Get Kicked Out of Dave Brat “Open House” for Absolutely No Good Reason (Also Offered Cupcakes – LOL)See below for multiple accounts of people who were kicked out Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA07)’s “Open House” last night for absolutely no good reason. As the person who contacted me about this wrote:
“My husband and I were invited to Dave Brat’s open house last night, by email. We registered and received tickets. We were admitted but then almost immediately intercepted and asked to leave. After stating we did nothing wrong and didn’t even utter a negative word, they called the police in from outside to remove us…What I understand about the event is that there were at least three others (including a member of the clergy) that experienced the exact same thing.”
Now, here’s another account (bolding added by me for emphasis).
On July 19th, I received an email invitation to attend the Open House for Dave Brat on July 27th. As Mr. Brat has been unreachable, both my husband and I felt that this would be a good opportunity to meet and chat with him for a few seconds.
For me, having him understand that, for me, the ACA has been a lifesaver was very important. I’ve had an irregular heart beat my entire life. In the 30+ years I ran social service agencies, I was always covered by the insurance I purchased for all employees. As such, I didn’t expect to find it virtually impossible to get insurance when I retired at age 55 in 2011. My husband, who owns his own insurance company, was also covered under my policy.

She thought she would fit into the group by leaving her pink crochet hat at home, but they smelt "lib-rul" all over her.
