UPDATE: Wayne Tunick, the 27 year Navy veteran who Jim Moran told to sit down or leave his town hall, appeared on Fox News’s Fox & Friends on Saturday morning to discuss the incident. Video below; if you haven’t seen the original, it is also below.
UPDATE: Moran’s office issued the following statement – “In the exchange, the Congressman thanked the gentleman for his military service, but firmly made clear that with so many people in line waiting to ask their questions, the town hall meeting was not going to be disrupted by people speaking out of order.” There were no more than five or so people in line waiting. The veteran was called on by Moran, asked a legitimate question, and objected when Moran said it wasn’t legitimate. He was not speaking out of order.
Jim Moran held a town hall meeting this evening regarding the possible government shutdown. The following video of a military veteran asking a question speaks for itself. Moran’s meltdown comes at 4:10.
After that, he refused to answer another constituent’s question about the debt.
Another constituent called out Jim Moran for disrespecting those two.
UPDATE: Here‘s the WUSA 9 CBS video of the event.
As usual, the scumbags in Washington – that work for US – treat us like little children that need to be told “you will speak only when spoken too.” Disgusting.
Hey Jim! You sit the down and You shut up!! You’re an arrogant peice of trash. You work for us know your role! Instead of acting like a flustered 10 year old when asked a question you don’t know the answer to because you’re Incompetent be honest and say you don’t know! You’re what’s wrong with this country. My family is military and we will probably suffer the consequences of your stupid planned parenthood funding. Why does the government need to help people plan their parenthood?
I hope and pray that every American sees your disgusting display.

Just vote the arrogant oligarchic SOBs out of office. Pure and simple.
There is absolutely no reason for Americans, especially our servicemen who put their very lives in harms way defending our once proud Republic, to be treated buy their “elected” officials with such contemptuous disrespect.
