Do Your Job!: GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz Faces Rowdy Audience at Town Hall


Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz, head of the House Oversight Committee, heard from a lot of angry people during his town hall tonight.

Considering Chaffetz’s role and his past investigations of Hillary Clinton, some critics of President Trump have been outraged that he hasn’t shown a greater willingness to hold the current president to account too.

Chaffetz yesterday downplayed the significance of Trump’s Nordstrom tweet, but today he made it abundantly clear that Kellyanne Conway plugging Ivanka Trump‘s brand was wrong.

Well, the venue for Chaffetz’s town hall was packed tonight, and there were people outside as well.

Inside, a lot of people had decidedly negative reactions to some of what Chaffetz was saying.

After one man asked him why he’s not investigating the president, people cheered and shouted “Do your job!”:

jobs because of the messes 4F 45 has made, then they'll finally turn on him. It might already be happening. No honeymoon for president Bonespurs.

He's in Mormon territory, where you are lucky to find a enough Democrats to fill a room. This has to raise eyebrows.
