I’ve never seen a crowd like this for a town hall for a House member. Line snaking around for blocks for Rep. Flood. Looks like a presidential campaign event.
Karni posted that the town hall was complete mayhem:
This thing has erupted in jeers in under three minutes. "There’s been a lot of misinformation," Flood says about the bill. He's talking over a rowdy crowd. "LIAR, LIAR." He seems to have known exactly what he was walking into.

This is complete mayhem. Entire auditorium of 700+ people are chanting TAX THE RICH. Flood is trying to go through his slide presentation. "Alright, next slide."
