In two congressional districts and vastly different political environments, two Republican congressmen were met with far different reactions at public meetings they held late last week.

“You don’t give a f**k about me!” shouted a veteran and constituent of Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards, who got an earful at a town hall in his district. Former Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger said he always hated doing town halls because he was dealing with people who were upset with him, but added that’s why they are important.
