Ashley Hinson’s town hall meeting started late and ended abruptly on time.  Throughout, she seemed to be using a filibuster strategy,  rambling on in a smooth, polished monotone and not directly answering questions except maybe once when she told a questioner she did not believe the Trump administration had plans to eliminate traditional Medicare in favor of only Advantage plans.

Questions were similar to what we’ve seen at the Grassley events – people concerned about due process, why congress isn’t doing anything,  DOGE, the Trump administration’s illegal actions, Medicare, Medicaid, national security, Hegeseth.

After a veteran in the audience who works at the VA told his personal story of how the VA DOGE cuts went down in his workplace, Ashley Hinson stood at the podium and insisted that the firings and cuts needed to happen because some people at the VA weren’t doing their jobs.

What about you, Congresswoman?  More than one person at this town hall told you they have contacted you several times and received no response. That sounds like someone not doing their job. You defend Trump and DOGE and the MAGA party and slam Joe Biden but you are not standing up for veterans and people who are struggling in your own district.

Who is not doing their job? Your constituents think it is you.
