In Kansas on Saturday, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) stood up and left his own town hall after a voter asked how the GOP can support mass firings that have impacted thousands of veterans.

I hadn't seen that video. Holy shit! He literally turns tail and gets out of there.

And that veteran was legit! I want him to do exactly that to every Republican. It was solid

He's trying to claim that he has to get to another meeting, and they're shouting him down, "You're not done!" "You have another hour!"

That has to be the most spineless thing I've ever seen, and the Republicans have been competing fiercely in that bracket for years
