Rep. Jason Chaffetz is convinced angry Utahns who attended his town hall were either Democrats, not real Republicans or came in from out of state. I can only speak to why I am angry.

How can I trust a congressman who says Donald Trump's tax forms and business interests in Russia can't be investigated — because as president he is exempt from conflict of interest law — when two months earlier he claimed he had at least two years worth of investigations queued up if Hillary Clinton won?

Chaffetz continually proves that his loyalty is party first, his personal ideology second, donors third, with the country a distant fourth. He represents his party and those who agree with him. Everyone and everything else is SOL.
