House Dem gets earful from angry constituents: 'Show some...backbone'

Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., faced down angry constituents and shouting matches that threatened to derail his town hall near the nation's capitol on Tuesday.

Footage from the event shows one constituent from Prince George's County yelling at the congressman to "fight" and "show some of the backbone and strategic brilliance that Mitch McConnell would have in the minority."

"Yeah I agree. I think your point about the vote on the [budget] is right," Ivey responded before being cut off by another shouting constituent.

"You're too calm. You are too calm," the woman screamed back. "Where is your fight, then? Where is your fight?"

Ivey repeats that he will answer the first man's question, insisting that the woman "can stay here and yell as long as you want."

"No! No! Nooooooooooooooooo!" the woman can be heard screaming.

The congressman then continues to speak over her and say that she must get in line to ask a question until she ultimately leaves the venue.

"I was deeply disappointed that Senator Schumer voted with the Republicans. You know, you're on bad ground when you get a personal tweet from Donald Trump thanking you for your vote, right. We don't want to be there. We don't want to be there," Ivey said.
