Reporter Doug Lamalfa, the Republican, who is a large part of the village north in California, had barely started his prepared remarks to the Chico City Hall early in Monday, when a chorus from Boos and Jers prevailed him.

The disgusting interactions did not give up for about 90 minutes.

The crowd of more than 650 people in the local Els Lodge splashed him with comments on an objectionable and rammed him for his voice for President Donald Trump’s budget bill, who decreases more than $ 1.1 trillion dollars of federal expenses For Medicaid, Medicare and plans under the Act on affordable care in the next decade. The crowd broke out Lamalfa to support the legislation, which they said it would “devastate” rural hospitals and damage vulnerable people with disabilities and poor families.

But Lamalfa claims that the legislation does not make “no cuts of the people themselves” in the Medicaid program in California, known as Medi-Cal, and instead aimed only at “waste, fraud and abuse”-a general and misleading line that Republicans across the country have hired to protect the legislation.

“That’s a lie!” Several attendees called out when Lamalfa erupted this refrain against the background of a bus from the van. “Shameless!”

“So do you get things? Through screams?” Lamalfa retired back.

Lamalfa has largely defended his record, and those of his party and the president, at his first personal forum for nearly eight years in Chico, Democratic College, which is one of several blue points in his Republican Congress-Rayon.

Loaded with the sale of voters to The President’s New Law on Internal PolicyWhich shows the polls are widely unpopular, Congress Republicans across the country face hostile crowds as they return to their native areas for the six -week August indentation.

Voters in blue cities like Chico have appeared in the GOP mayoralty to go out to their dissatisfaction, which the Democratic Party hopes to focus on winning the intermediate elections. A mayoralty in Lincoln, Nebraska Played in a similar way to Lamalfa, with voters lined around the block to enter and then, once into the room, embarking on continuously.

The Lamalfa City Hall also comes when the Gavin News government and the California Democrats load forward with the fierce efforts for Rewind state congress areas To compensate for Trump’s plan to maintain control of the US House by extracting more Republican places from the Red States such as Texas and Florida. The proposed California cards, which are expected to be announced this week, can attract Lamalfa and four other Republicans to many more blue areas, according to sources who have seen the proposed areas but are not authorized to speak publicly.

The spacious community room was so tightly packed that a few turned and left. Inside, two lines were accidentally pulled down on both sides of the room, as the components were arranged to ask questions and comment. In an effort to reduce the outbursts of the audience, the employees gave red and green signs so that the participants could signal their opinion – but it was not a little to reassure the crowd.

Matthew Hiliard, a mental health advisor and a social worker from Mount Shasta, expelled more than 2.5 hours and waited for another hour to be the first on the line to question Lamalfa about his support for Megabil. He told a congressman that he was very concerned that the protection of Medi-Cal could force country hospitals in Siskiou County and close through the area.

“These facilities are vital to our disabled people and our working -class people,” Hilieard said. “How could you support a bill that will devastate our already fragile infrastructure?”

Lamalfa, from his perch on Barstal on stage, replied with misleading Republican claim The fact that legislation will instead reduce people who, in his opinion, do not meet the requirements for the program, such as people who live illegally in the country and working adults, without addicts.

“Ask Gavin Newsom why he wants $ 12.5 billion to go to people who are not even citizens of our country, thus injuring the Medi-Cal program,” he said.

Newsom has expanded the recording of Medi-Cal for people in the country without legal status, but was forced to control this this year against the background of the estimated budget deficit.

The non -partisan budget service for Congress has considered that Trump’s legislation will make more than 10 million people lose health insurance coverage by 2034, including More than 3.4 million CaliforniansS

While healthcare dominated the raging forum, other issues ranged from the processing of Jeffrey Epstein’s Congress to the Israeli war, and numerous commentators mourn the White House, with Trump pressing the borders of the executive. Several people have accused Lamalfa of supporting origin in fascism and unleashed their rage over immigration agents who round the US citizens and legal residents in indiscriminate raids.

Later, Lamalfa agreed that immigration officials “should not capture people who are US citizens”, and he said he would support the path to the legal status of underdeveloped workers in decisive industries such as agriculture and services. But then he contradicts himself and said that the fear of mischief or legal residents should not deter employees to throw a wide network, as they are in the last raids in Home Depot’s parking lots in Sacramento and Los Angeles and arrange the improperly retained people.

Personally, the Open MIC mayoralty is gradually becoming a relic in the social media era, as fewer selected employees are ready to fail in today’s hyperpartizan era. Domestic Republicans even discouraged their members from hosting forums face -to -face after a Wave of negative titles out of Confrontation of the mayoralty of the virus – including with their own GOP supporters – earlier this year.

Lamalfa staff reminded the public that they could get more questions and comments if they refuse to interrupt. But there was a small appetite for civil discourse, even after several speakers exposed their colleagues to descend.

Ryan Rogoski, a veteran of the Chico Navy, told Lamalfa that, due to a lack of mental health suppliers in the area, he had to drive three hours around the trip to San Rafael to see a therapist for the PTSD, which Congressman admitted to being “crazy” and unacceptable. But when Rogoski asks Lamalfa to do something for the supplier’s shortage, Lamalfa accused him of “several bad apples” in leadership in the local Chico Va, which he said he had ruled existing funds.

“You give the Pentagon so much money!” Rogos shouted before getting out of the building through tears. Later, he told Calmatters that Lamalfa’s answer was “extremely incorrect” using explicative to emphasize his dissatisfaction.

“It has nothing to do with the care of veterans and our unique challenges,” Rogoski said.

Several voters pressed Lamalfa to deny all the efforts to redistribute this year, as well as California colleague Kevin Kili, who recently introduced a bill to ban redistribution in the middle of decades.

But Lamalfa said California’s efforts were particularly reproached as the voters created an independent redistribution committee nearly 20 years ago.

“Maybe the people in Texas, maybe people in other states will set their own committees to be independent,” Lamalfa said in an interview. “It’s really ugly,” he added. “This gives you no more faith in the political process.”
