U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) has requested a House of Representatives ethics investigation on his colleague Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN) because she held a town hall in his district.
Emmer is accusing Craig of using his constituents to raise funds for her 2026 campaign and undermining integrity in our institutions.
Emmer serves as the majority whip for the U.S. House, where he has been a staunch ally of President Donald Trumps agenda. Despite Trumps tariff policy raising costs of goods for Americans, Emmer argued that tariffs would be good for consumers and farmers in the U.S.
Emmers only town hall of 2025 was a remote event held on April 2, a strategy Republicans have employed to avoid backlash to Trumps destructive policies. That remote event is the only town hall event Emmer has held this year.

(2,378 posts)How is there an ethics issue in holding a town hall anywhere in America, even if its not your district?
These guys are really grasping at straws.

(765 posts)Such a uniformly craven, obsequious, and un-American gaggle of scoundrels have not sullied the hallowed halls of the Capitol in my adult life, I know that for sure. At least never so openly so. They are collectively nothing but a wretched hive of scum and villainy, flinging their feces askance.
