Angry town halls are continuing around the country, including in Iowa, where Republican Congressmember Rod Blum faced four straight nights of hostile crowds this week, as hundreds of people showed up to events in Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Cedar Falls and Marshalltown to jeer, boo and interrogate Blum about his support for President Trump and the Republican healthcare plan. This is Iowa resident Dale Todd, speaking alongside his son, who has epilepsy, at a town hall in Cedar Rapids Tuesday.
Dale Todd: “And I would have thought somewhere along the line somebody would have said that when you impact kids with special needs—who we sort of have an obligation to take care of our own here in Iowa—that we would have thought that maybe we shouldn’t be doing that. And so, I’m just trying to fathom where that motivation comes from.”
