Chaffetz says town hall crowd tried 'bullying and intimidation'

SALT LAKE CITY — A top Utah Democrat ripped Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Saturday for dismissing Thursday night's raucous town hall meeting as being fueled by paid protesters from out of state, not representative of his 3rd District constituents.

"He's out of touch with reality. He's out of touch with the political reality on the ground," said House Minority Leader Rep. Brian King.

King shared his complaints about Chaffetz after he and four other Democrats from the Utah Legislature attended a town hall forum at Westminster College.

The Salt Lake City Democrat criticized Chaffetz for not acknowledging there's a significant portion of his constituency angry with him for supporting President Donald Trump.
