Trump-backed Republican trolls Dem town halls
Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., who recently received an endorsement from President Donald Trump, is pushing back against Colorado Democrats after a series of “People’s Town Halls” in his district took a bizarre turn during the April congressional recess.
A spokeswoman for Evans criticized Democrats for their antics, stating that while they were singing songs and goofing off, the congressman was hard at work fighting to improve the lives of Coloradans.
The tensions within the Democratic Party were on full display during a town hall in Evans’ district, where attendees raised concerns about the party’s future and its ability to resist Trump’s potential second term. The event, hosted by Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, featured a cardboard cutout of Evans with chicken legs, adding a surreal element to an already contentious gathering.
Casar, who has been traveling to Republican-held districts to engage with constituents, defended the town hall as a way to give a voice to those who feel ignored by their representatives. However, the event was criticized for veering off course and failing to address key issues facing the community.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been organizing “People’s Town Halls” across the country, aiming to provide a platform for citizens to voice their concerns and push back against the Republican agenda. However, the events in Colorado have drawn criticism for their theatrics and lack of substantive discussion.
Conservatives have seized on the town halls as examples of the Democratic Party’s disarray, pointing to videos of attendees singing songs and calling out politicians in a mocking manner. The events have been characterized as more about performance than meaningful engagement with constituents.
Despite the criticism, Evans remains focused on his work in Congress and his commitment to making Colorado a safer and more prosperous place for families. Trump’s endorsement of Evans for the 2026 re-election campaign underscores the congressman’s dedication to his constituents and his advocacy for America First policies.
As Evans gears up for the upcoming election, he continues to prioritize issues such as addressing criminal illegal immigrant gangs and ensuring the safety and well-being of Colorado residents. With the support of the president and his constituents, Evans is determined to secure another term in office and continue fighting for the people of Colorado.
The Democratic Party’s “People’s Town Halls” may have generated headlines, but it is clear that Evans is focused on delivering results and standing up for the values that matter most to his constituents. As the political landscape heats up ahead of the next election, Evans remains a strong advocate for Colorado and a voice for those who feel overlooked by the political establishment.
