The Town Hall That Impeachment Blew Up

WHIPPANY, N.J.—One of Representative Mikie Sherrill’s district directors began the town hall in a filled community center Monday night with her customary call for civility. Hanover Township Boy Scout Troop 155 led the crowd in the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. An elementary school teacher sang a rousing national anthem. Everybody clapped and then sat down together in rows and rows of plastic folding chairs. Then came the first question.

“We sent you to Washington,” a woman began, “to get work done, for us and for our country, and it appears that for the last couple years all that has been going on is investigations.” Sitting in the front, I could almost feel people’s shoulders tense up. Everybody knew what was coming. The towheaded scouts had filed to the back. The adults had the floor now. And impeachment was in the air. “We honestly,” the woman continued, “can’t trust Adam Schiff …”

She was drowned out by a wall of noise. The space rippled with a mixture of boos and cheers and uncorked angst.

1. That's when you point out that hundreds of bills are languishing on Moscow Mitch's desk.

2. Exactly this.

Not enough people understand what is happening up on Capitol Hill.

3. Let's see, some people who oppose Sherrill and Dems on priciple,

will never be convinced of anything outside the rw echo chamber, who didn't vote for her in 2018 and won't in 2020 showed up to be obnoxious. Other constituents who support her and Dems showed up, too, and gave the cultists a taste of reality outside of the Fox News bubble.

4. Always interesting time at Town Halls.

Because the Media is not talking about the 300+ pieces of Legislation passed by the House in the last year,and,they sit on Moscow Mitch's desk at the Senate waiting for action.

Guess this issue does not sell Pills or Soap.
