As members of Congress return to their districts across the country during a legislative recess, many are hearing from concerned constituents.

Some Republican representatives holding town halls are facing boisterous crowds, including people protesting GOP plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Republican Rep. Tom Reed scheduled four town halls Saturday in his districts in upstate New York, with large, fairly raucous crowds turning out for two meetings in the morning. The congressman was peppered with questions on the health care act known as Obamacare as well as other topics such as President Trump's not publicly releasing copies of his tax returns.

In a town hall in Cherry Creek, New York, there was a strong exchange between several people and Reed on Trump's possible ties to Russia. Every time Reed was asked about Russia and the possibility of an investigation, he said that there was no evidence to suggest any wrongdoing so he did not see the need for an investigation.

1. Plus an actual, credible investigation might reveal some evidence.

All the more reason to not have an investigation.

2. Those rethugs are great at sticking to the party line, good little soldiers.

The country be damned.
