Let’s be honest: Dean Heller (R-NV) had a lot of balls to show up to Monday’s Town Hall in Reno, after being accused of ignoring constituents requests for months. It wasn’t pleasant to be honest, at all – so much that he seemed to forget his own positions.
Even though in the past, he has shown support in removing funding for Planned Parenthood, he changed his mind suddenly — and even went after President Trump.
“I have no problems with federal funding for Planned Parenthood,” Heller said at a joint event saying also that he would protect the women’s health organization.
He also decided to go on the record to attack Donald Trumps’ budget. “The administration’s budget in my opinion is anti-Nevada, and I’m not happy about it. Not one bit,” he said. “So, I’m going to fight to defend these public lands programs and make sure they are fully funding.”
He was questioned on about everything, and most people there weren’t happy with the answers.

Angry Constituents asked thing with things like “”Don’t give me a fuzzy answer. High-risk pools. That’s my question.”
“You need to dump your phone message box. It’s been full for the last 3 months.”
“I’m one of your constituents and you don’t really represent me…something happened.”
