Republicans hiding from constituents can't hide from having no plan, says Protect Our Care Coalition



A Republican member of Congress who had scheduled two town halls to hear her constituents' views on Obamacare — which the GOP plans to repeal and replace — reportedly ducked those meetings last weekend.



"Republicans hiding from constituents can't hide from having no plan," that group's email to reporters said Thursday.

Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., did not show up at two "mobile office hours" events she had scheduled at separate grocery stores — where dozens of people were waiting to talk to her about the Obamacare repeal, according to Politico.

One Fairfax, Virginia, resident, Politico noted, wrote on his Facebook page, "A friend just came back from a Comstock event in Oakton — Barbara was supposed to meet constituents there to talk about the repeal of Obamacare AND SHE NEVER SHOWED UP." - CNBC

Where are this weekend's scheduled protests? Gotta makes up some signs and call my RW congresscritter.

They have got the M$M paid for though, so they'll be cheerleading for them.
