So, last Thursday I went to see our Congressperson at a town hall. [View all]

Ilhan Omar was in town and I went to see her. I had a question to ask her, but I did not get the chance. I probably would have, were it not for two people who decided to make a scene. Funny thing is, neither of their complaints had anything to do with the Congresswoman. One was a county matter which she was unable to address at all, (Duh, she is our rep in the federal government. There is a chain, regardless of whether or not we like it.) The other was one that she was unable to discuss at the podium, but told the lady that she would be happy to discuss it once the hall was adjourned. Both persons became disruptive and combative, at least until the rather large LEO started to walk over and then they both decided to leave the hall of their own volition. (The second person did not stick around to discuss anything, which shows me that she was not interested in discussion, she was interested in disruption.) I enjoyed Congressperson Omar's discussion and her highlighting the things she is doing for this district.

All in all, a decent evening.
