At one point, while promoting Republican efforts to replace the Affordable Care Act, Sessions said, "I understand why you're so frustrated. You don't know how to listen."

When he offered extended explanations to questions posed to him, the crowd at times chanted, "Yes or no?"

1. Republican bullshit don't work so well anymore

The days when a Republican could come out and talk about cutting taxes, smaller gov to help the "job creaters" don't fly.

2. Pete Sessions is a prick.

I'm ashamed to note that he graduated from the same university as I did.

11. Just looked at how the district voted in 2016

Most likely he is pissed because his district is changing. While McCain and Romney both won it by double digits, HRC won it by 3. Sounds like the voters there need to let themselves be "heard" the next time he is up for re-election.


Here is the district's Wikipedia page.
