WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 22: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) departs the weekly meeting of the House Republican caucus at the U.S. Capitol June 22, 2016 in Washington, DC. During a press conference afterward, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan spoke about the pending legislative agenda of House Republicans and declined to comment on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers likes to move quickly in order to not face her constituents
When Washington state Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers isn’t getting chanted off the stage by voters for threatening to repeal the Affordable Care Act, she’s kissing the orange-flecked shoes of President Donald Trump. Or she’s trying to do damage control like her fellow cowards Republicans—by lying about things. When citizens became interested in making themselves heard to the Spokane representative, Rep. McMorris Rodgers’ staff decided to say that it wasn’t violence they were afraid of when they only allowed two people at a time into the congresswoman’s office.
“The congresswoman wants to hear from everyone,” Drenkard said. “Where freedom of speech is answered with more speech, and not with violence.”
The decision to limit the number of people in the Spokane office was made after consultation with the fire marshal, who issued a written ruling that only two members of the public could safely occupy the office on the sixth floor of the Peyton Building at a time, Drenkard said. She also said that arrangement allowed concerned citizens to meet with staff members individually, which promoted a better dialogue.
The fire marshal in question, Mr. Michael Miller, has been getting a lot of blowback from this, which he feels isn’t fair since HE NEVER TOLD THEM TO LIMIT THE NUMBER TO TWO PEOPLE AT A TIME.

There had, indeed, been a written ruling by Deputy Fire Marshal Nathan Mulkey, who consulted with McMorris Rodgers' staff in the lead-up to the protest. But he had concluded that the occupancy limit for the office suite as a whole was 30 people, not two.................................

I've never heard such a thing. Surely this is more fake news.
