Rep. Andy Harris, Maryland's only Republican in Congress, confronted hundreds of voters at a town hall meeting on the Eastern Shore late Friday that rapidly devolved into a shouting match over the Trump administration, immigration and GOP efforts to repeal the Obamacare health law.
In a reliably Republican congressional district, Harris faced jeers as he tried to explain his opposition to the 2010 health care law, and was met with chants of "No wall!" as he defended President Donald Trump's plan to crack down on illegal immigration and cut funding for education, housing and other domestic programs.
Scheduled weeks ago, the town hall meeting was among the first in the nation since the Republican-led House of Representatives abruptly abandoned legislation to overhaul Obamacare. The retreat was a blow to Trump, who had hoped the GOP would quickly coalesce around a six-year-old promise to repeal law.

Somewhere George Soros is laughing so happy his money is being used for resistance! Hillary too.
Make Medicaid people pay $250 a yr each for healthcare.
Be careful what you wish for.
I support him and the wall needs to be higher.
Here's what LIBERALS need to understand.
We, CONSERVATIVES of the Eastern Shore do NOT go to Democratic held events and scream and yell or threaten to a point violence occurs.
When that Idiot Molly held her event, there was no one there disrespecting the Liberals and there was no violence or threats.
The liberal party are a bunch of pussy hat crybabies who will intimidate like little children until they get their way.
We are conservatives because we believe in accountability. We believe there should be consequences for bad actions.
I am personally sick and tired of the liberal agenda and will do everything I can with Salisbury News to fight them. Just watching the local liberal media only telling one side of this story, acting as if everyone can't stand our President or republican representatives is complete BS.
Things are going to be changing here at Salisbury News in the near future and the rest of the local media is NOT going to like it, but they deserve what they get.
you GO Joe!
I'm a firm believer that militant libs showed up in-mass early to block any and all conservatives from entering the venue. The place was stacked against Rep. Harris from the get-go. I am not swayed by the "outrage" that was reported. STAY THE COURSE, CONSERVATIVES!
More videos of prostitute fights!!
What do you accomplish bashing out at Liberals or democrats? I learned long ago there is not much chance of winning either over to our way of thinking. They see Big government and spend, spend, spend. We see government should downsize in a BIG way and a BJG cut in the budget necessary.
They can scream, whine rant with rage all they want - it is a freedom. The Conservatives have the freedom to do the same but we tend instead to "disagree with their beliefs" quietly, then go to the polls and try to vote them out. Sadly here in Maryland, the Eastern Shore and far Western Shore, cannot "beat" the Middle.
As far as the media, the majority have generally favored the liberal side, at least since I became interested in politics in 1952. Not sure you can do anything to put the local media on the Conservative side.
Some people think the government should take care of every person in the USA - while others think it is not the government's job, it is the family's job. It irks me to no end how much of my taxpayer's money goes to the welfare of others. Much of that money is NOT even welfare as too many think it is "MY RIGHT FARE".
IF...a mighty Big ...IF President Trump is able to cut social and other outlandish programs from the budget, how different our life will become. But I guarantee he is going to have a very rough time. We need to stick by him while he fights. We have lived long enough under pussy cat and Snowflake and corrupted government rule. Now it is time for Term Limits, and to abide only by the Constitution.
As soon as I saw the pussy hats in the audience, I knew they were professional victims.
Just more reason to despise liberals and Democrats.
Its on youtube.
Sounds like Pagano and Pretl were there. What about Ireton?
My guess is that most of those A-holes were from across the Chesapeake Bay, probably from outside the First Congressional District.
Andy should hold his next Town Hall down here -- we could give him support and, if necessary, silence the hecklers.
nothing but paid trolls...ignore the ignorant.
Can't wait for him to hold a meeting in the Bury. We'll be waiting!
A wolf in sheep's clothing.
