A GOP rep who is in touch with reality is now a newsworthy event:

GOP rep: Town hall protesters are constituents, not paid demonstrators

Rep. Leonard Lance (R-N.J.) says protesters at his town hall event were angry constituents, pushing back on Republican assertions that they are paid protesters.

“I always try to speak truthfully. I believe, for example, that those at my town hall meeting last night were not paid,” Lance said Thursday on CNN’s “New Day."

“And if the White House believes that many of those at town hall meetings have been paid, I think that that is an inaccurate statement,” he added.

After Christie, et al, does anyone think there might be some blue backlash coming to the Jersey Shore?
