I called repub Tom Emmer's DC office

The people who answer the phone are not allowed to tell the caller where Emmer stands on issues.
During the course of the call I asked to speak to someone with power to answer my questions. Told everyone was busy.
I asked how many people were in the office at this time.

I was told I could not have that information because it fell under NATIONAL SECURITY

Republicans will do and say anything to not answer your questions

Are you now under investigation?

That would be funny if it did not demonstrate how out of touch the GOP is.
