How many were ringers at the meeting? They did not look like Mormon family constituents. |

They were CONSTITUENTS!!! If you reside in Chaffetz's congressional district, you had every, single right to be at the town hall and ask a question or voice your opinion. This wasn't a love fest/slumber party for all his BFFs. That's what a town hall is, a gathering of constituents to discuss issues important to them. I guess not enough of his uber Mormon republican fan base voters stayed home. |

Nope. He tried claiming they were from out-of-state yet had no evidence of that. But more to the point, the Republicans got together and many of them decided to have their town hall meeting on the same night to try and foil any attempts at being targeted by outsiders. But as it turned out, ALL of the Republican town halls were packed, there was no need for outsiders. Many Utahns are genuinely pissed at Chaffetz! Diane Black's and others went poorly for the GOP as well. |

So does he do this to Oregon, too? |

What does a Mormon family constituent look like? Do you know any Mormons? Have you ever been to Utah? Word to the wise...Mormons look like anyone else. I know several and you'd probably be shocked that they are pretty normal looking people so your assumption that they didn't show up is pretty ignorant. Not to mention, not everyone who lives in Utah is Mormon. Saying this shit is just as bad as when Trump told his bullshit story (now know to be a false story) of the German golfer who walked into the voting station in Florida and recounted seeing many people who "didn't look like they could vote" - typical racist bullshit from the idiot in the White House. The people who attended Chaffetz's town hall were his constituents even if he wants to peddle his fake news of paid participants. He's going to have to face the music - people think he sucks and are actively working toward his defeat in the next election. And remember, Mormons were not huge supporters of Trump so it would not be surprising that they showed up to call out one of Trump's Congressional minions. |

| It never fails to amaze me how many conservatives who believe in small government totally throw those principles out the window when it comes to meddling in the affairs of DC residents |

Looks like Chaffetz is at it again. This came across my neighborhood listserv and included city council.
