North Carolina City Hall erupted in Boos when members of the congress were escorted by the building, an angry constituent
Member of Republican Congress Chuck Edwards, RN.C., faced by an angry constituent during the City Hall meeting on Thursday night about President Donald Trump and massive cutting throughout the government.
“How do you justify cuts to VA staff who help veterans, especially those who have long -term care needs,” asked a constituent who was greeted with a festive applause from the crowd in Asheville, North Carolina.
“So first, there is no cutting for staff at VA at this point. Like him or not, Elon Musk has brought many people who are really smart, “Edwards answered when he met a mockery round. Earlier this month, Memo VA Internal indicated that the agency was preparing to dismiss 80,000 from its workforce.
Interaction changes so controversial and hostile that Edwards must be escorted out of the building.
“You can’t do this to us,” another constituent shouted.
Republican leadership has told their members to avoid city halls directly like this after several members are roasted in their origin district.
Edwards, however, is contrary to their advice on Thursday.

“” You see a lot of advice in Washington, DC from different people who say, you know, ‘Republicans should not be out there doing city halls,’ and I think ‘why not?’ I love people, “said Edwards.
Trump’s administration pushed forward with large cuts with thousands of workers who have been dismissed in all federal workers – including veterans, IRS and the Ministry of Education.
Elon Musk separated from the White House this week, showing that rights programs such as Medicare and Social Security can be in the next cutting block.
“Waste and fraud in the expenditure of rights, which are all, which are most of the federal expenditure are rights, so it is like the big one to be eliminated,” Musk said earlier this week.
The words have made some voters very concerned, with Edwards taking the end of the attack Thursday night.
“What do you do to ensure the protection of our social security benefits,” asked the constituents with a festive applause.
Answering Edwards: “I will not choose to dissolve your social security. I don’t want to disturb social security at all. “
