Colorado Republican secretly flees town hall to avoid constituents mad about gutting Obamacare
A Colorado Republican is under fire after holding what was supposed to be a town hall, only to allow four attendees at a time to see him before sneaking out a back door.
According to KUSA, hundred of constituents showed up to meet with Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) at a local community center in Aurora, many of them wanting to talk to the representative about his plan to vote to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. But instead of being ushered into the main hall as a group to speak with the lawmaker, they were told the congressman was only doing on-on-ones and they would have to wait their turn.
“The Representative didn’t have a plan. They expected just a small handful of people to show up,” Krondia Siebert said. “We were under the understanding it was a town hall meeting and they were only allowing four people in at a time.”
So many people showed up that local police were called in to use crime scene tape to create a perimeter to hold people back that allowed Coffman to sneak out early unbeknownst to those still waiting to see him.
