Gohmert refuses calls for town hall meetings

TYLER — U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert on Tuesday resisted calls for a town hall meeting but said he would continue to communicate with constituents at other events and in other ways, including "telephone town halls."

Gohmert, a Tyler Republican, was met outside an event Tuesday by the group Indivisible of Smith County, which was formed for "resisting the Trump agenda," according to its website. It's part of a larger, national Indivisible movement.

Tuesday’s protest was the first local sighting of Indivisible.

About 60 demonstrators appeared at the T.B. Butler Fountain Plaza and around the People's Petroleum Building, holding signs and occasionally chanting, according to the Tyler Morning Telegraph.

The brain-dead, embarrassing, chickenshit little motherfucker.

Google "Dumbest U.S. Congressman" and look at the results.

Republican jerks seem to need constant reminding
they're supposed to represent all the people. Not just
the ones who voted for them.
