Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-CA) responded to boos and jeers at a town hall in Oroville on Monday night by asking the audience whether they would behave the same way at a church service.
Interrupted partway through responding to an audience member’s question, LaMalfa said: “You know, you don’t yell at church, do you?”
“Do you lie in church?” audience members shouted back, according to a report by CBS Sacramento.
At one point LaMalfa left the stage amid shouting, per CBS Sacramento, before returning a few moments later.
Oroville Police Lt. Gil Zarate estimated that about 600 people attended throughout the evening, according to a report by the Chico Enterprise-Gazette. The crowd repeatedly drowned out LaMalfa’s replies with shouting.
“You know, come on, really,” he said at another point.
Per the Chico Enterprise-Record, LaMalfa said afterward that the event went “as good as can be expected.”
Duh. Doesn’t everyone know that a Town Hall is a sacred place of worship?
“Do you lie in church?” That’s great. My goal is for every Republican representative in California to be chased from federal office. That right there would put a big dent in the House.
GOP Rep: What’s your point?
Haha. White guy says white thing.
This aint church, snowflake
