Democrat lawmakers are feeling pressure from the left flank of their party at town hall meetings across the country, with a series of outbursts from attendees urging them to take a more radical left-wing approach in Congress.
The series of shouting matches comes shortly after Democrats pointed to negative audiences at town halls for Republicans.
On Wednesday, for example, attendees relentlessly screamed at Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., for his stance on Israel. One attendee charged the stage, calling the lawmaker “soulless,” and had to be restrained. The event was cut short.
