Tense town hall presses Burgess to confirm or deny whether 2020 election was stolen

Note: Rep. Burgess is an OB/GYN.


In his first town hall meeting in over a year, District 26 Congressman Michael Burgess, R-Pilot Point, fielded questions Tuesday night at Denton High School from constituents who largely jeered COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates and who shouted support for attendees who demanded he publicly confirm or deny whether the 2020 election was stolen.

Throughout the meeting, attendees shouted catchphrases and buzzwords popularized by the QAnon conspiracy theory. Attendees who confronted Burgess about his position on the so-called “Big Lie” that President Donald Trump was the true victor in the 2020 race were drowned out by the crowd.

Vaccines and masks were priorities for many in attendance. Some wore T-shirts advertising themselves as “vaccine and mask free.”

“As far as the vaccines, I won’t get the vaccine,” said one woman who did not identify herself. “I don’t trust it … it’s not proven. We don’t know what’s going to happen with it. There’s so many — and I don’t care who came up with it. Fauci, Trump, whoever. I don’t trust it. It’s not FDA approved. I would like to know what Republicans are going to do to fight back against Democrats trying to mandate — force — us to take the vaccine. My body, my choice.”

1. Listening to these magat "my body my choice" choruses reminds me how stupid and oblivious these

mooks really are. They just can’t process a logical thought. These leave their “my body my choice” anti vax meeting for a protest down at planned parenthood. The simple must just ooze out of these idiots.

7. Those are my thoughts too.

2. So it seems the quisling never did answer the question

Cowardly.
Republican.

3. Burgess has another town hall scheduled soon.

He better come up with answers to those questions or it might cause some rumbling among the voters.

5. ...the fact that he would dodge such a fundamental question

leads all to the conclusion that he's either a Republican traitor against US democracy, or too craven to take a stand for America and the rule of law.

4. Burgess deserves this

In a kind of “reap what you sow” way. He’s an ass.

6. If Burgess was intelligent

he would announce his retirement and leave in relatively good graces. Most people would forget his errors and he could get on the Board of Trustees at numerous places to generate some income. These town halls may be a wake-up call for him to leave.

8. Wasn't he an M.D.? Shame on him for not strongly advocating masks and vaccines.

[TexasTowelie]

10. As mentioned at the top of the OP, Burgess is an OB/GYN.

He certainly has the knowledge that he should be an advocate of both.

9. I am really suprised that not one single

Repug answers that tRUMP got vaccinated.
