This happened at a town hall meeting for Representative Gus Bilirakis (R). The town hall got really heated.

They say sh**t like this because they know they live in gerrymandered districts and will never lose

Gus can take away everything from these people and he'll still get re-elected
FL-12 is not THAT safe

Should there be a single forum for all the Republicans fleeing from their constituents at town halls?

CNN gave this the title "Man booed after 'death panel' comment." I think yours is a bit more informative. #LyingMSM

Also, dang. How can this guy talk to voters like that? Has he bought into the "outside agitators" argument as well?

Can you get any more condescending than labeling your constituents "children"?

I took it as the crowd was booing "death panels", not the speaker. I guess they drank the Kool-aid

The video I saw showed people holding up signs and Bilrakis saying "You're Wrong" to the sign-holders, just after he mentioned the "death panels". It also showed, likely from a few minutes later, a woman who apparently worked in the health care industry telling Bilrakis the "death panels" didn't exist.
