Constituents Flood Another GOP Congressman's Town Halls And Angrily Confront Him

Constituents of Rep. Tom Reed (R-N.Y.) flooded two town hall meetings on Saturday to confront and boo the congressman over the GOPs vows to repeal the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and strip public funding from Planned Parenthood.

One event was supposed to take place in a senior center in North Harmony, New York, but it moved outside because so many people showed up. Reed held three other town halls in Chautauqua, Cattaraugus and Allegany counties, according to The Associated Press .

In upstate New York, Rep. Tom Reed's first town hall of the day has been moved outside because the crowd is so big pic.twitter.com/PaanJstFOe

Attendees loudly booed Reed when he said he did not support public funds for Planned Parenthood .

I do not support taxpayer-funded paying of abortion, Reed said, prompting boos. A woman in the front of the crowd immediately fact-checked his remark.

You, an elected official, [are] giving misinformation, she said. Right now, our taxes do not pay for abortions. They pay for mammograms, they pay for birth control.

Planned Parenthood, less than 3 percent of the services they provide is abortion. And none of that 3 percent is funded by you, she added.

Indeed, the Hyde Amendment, passed in 1976 by Congress, prohibits the use of public funds to pay for abortions , so there is no taxpayer-funded paying of abortion.

The constituents also booed loudly when Reed offered details on what a replacement for Obamacare could look like. They jeered when he called the Affordable Care Act a failing system and suggested that a new system would give more Americans health savings accounts. Most Americans cant afford to put aside the money required for these accounts.

The crowd chanted in unison, How can the poor get savings accounts?

When Reed said this could be fixed simply by growing the economy, the crowd booed loudly again.

At a second town hall meeting later in the day, Reed said Americans would get tax credits to pay for health insurance, according to the Buffalo News . When the audience asked how those credits would be used, Reed replied, That is something were still working on.

Tom Reed asked for the bill number of the ACA replacement. He doesn't provide one because the House's plan doesn't exist as a bill yet.

Tom Reed asked for the bill number of the ACA replacement. He doesn't provide one because the House's plan doesn't exist as a bill yet.

The crowd also pushed Reed to pressure President Donald Trump to release his tax returns. Reed was one of 23 Republicans who voted against legislation to request Trumps tax returns from the Treasury Department.

"Do your job!" the crowd chanted at Rep. Tom Reed this morning after a question about seeking Trump's tax returns pic.twitter.com/J4YBY7g7ow
Thomas Kaplan (@thomaskaplan) February 18, 2017

The event on Saturday was the latest of a number of recent town hall meetings in which constituents have angrily confronted GOP elected officials about their efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

Earlier this month, Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) left a town hall with a police escort after constituents confronted him. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) also faced chants of Do your job and Your last term at a town hall last week. Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) complained that women are in my grill over Obamacare repeal. Brat has since walked back the comment, which offended many.
