McCaskill to townhall: ‘I don’t understand this rudeness’
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) expressed dismay at the behavior of her town hall audience today, stopping at one point to criticize what she called “rudeness.”
“I don’t understand this rudeness,” she said when an attendee interrupted her. “What is this? I don’t get it. I honestly don’t get it. Do you all think that you’re persuading people when you shout out like that?”
“I beg your pardon? You don’t trust me?” McCaskill asked when the attendee responded. The crowd erupted with a loud “No!”
“I don’t know what else I can do,” McCaskill said.
