US Rep Rod Blum faced another hostile crowd at a town hall with constituents in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Tuesday, May 9.Blum was booed when he entered a Town Hall on Monday in Dubuque, the same day he walked out of an interview when he was asked about checking identifications of those who show up to attend one of his sessions.During the Cedar Rapids town hall, a woman came up to ask a question, but she confessed her name wasn’t the one that had been called, said Jessalyn Holdcraft, who took this video. Blum wasn’t going to let her ask the question, which prompted a “let her speak” from the crowd.During the session, Blum, a Republican, defended his vote on the American Health Care Act in Congress last week. Blum initially opposed the first Republican bill but ultimately voted for the version that passed last week.
