WATCH: Furious Constituents Flood Town Halls to Demand Lawmakers Save Obamacare – Some GOP Lawmakers Too Afraid to Show Up

One GOP Senator Changed His Town Hall Venue 5 Times in 3 Days to Avoid His Constituents

Mostly Republican Senators and Congressmen are holding town halls and facing angry constituents furious and afraid they are going to lose their Obamacare health insurance and furious and angry their representatives haven’t done anything to investigate Russia’s intervention in the November election.

It’s a different world, where just a few years ago in many cases the same lawmakers were facing angry constituents furious and afraid of Obamacare.

The above video, via MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” perfectly captures one Kentucky constituent of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell screaming at him because there aren’t enough jobs, and because coal miners and veterans are sick and he’s about to take away their Obamacare. Another constituent reminds Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley that he’s the one who falsely claimed Obamacare had “death panels,” and says the real death panels are the repeal of Obamacare. “Fix it!” he demands.

Rep. Dave Brat, the tea party Republican who took Eric Cantor’s seat, faced a hostile Virginia crowd Tuesday. They were even more hostile when he had no actual answer for how Republicans are going to replace Obamacare. He admitted he was just given a set of bullet points to tell them.

Brat told his constituents America is a Christian nation, which didn’t go over well with some.

But even worse than Republican lawmakers not knowing how they are going to replace Obamacare, and not having any answers as to why they haven’t investigated Russia, are the Republican lawmakers who just didn’t bother to show up for their own town halls.

Rep. Darrell Issa blew off a healthcare town hall, where hundreds of constituents showed up, and waited, chanting, “Where is Darrell?”

Republican lawmakers, including Senator Cory Gardner, Rep. Andy Harris, Senator Thom Tillis, and Senator Pat Toomey were all no-shows – they just didn’t show up to these town halls:

Then there is Senator Tom Cotton, who switched his town hall venue five times in three days so his own constituents couldn’t find him:
