Rep. Victoria Spartz's second and last town hall of this weekend -- this one in Muncie, Indiana -- is already starting off with boos and yelling from the 160 person audience.
When she took the mic, the entire audience booed her.
Rep. Victoria Spartz tells town hall attendees: "We need to be good with your money."
"Ever since the Republicans to do anything do about fraud, it's becoming political," she adds.
The audience boos, someone starts shouting "tax the rich!"

A year later, here’s what I experienced on Jan. 6:
My day began as any day does for me. I planned to work overnight and help the CNN team with our coverage of the session to certify the election results. (Thread!)
My first photo of the day was this picture I snapped of then-Vice President Mike Pence entering the House chamber. (Not the best quality so I never posted it before)

At her last event of the day, @ewarren tells the audience (in response to a question on engaging in the political process) at the Creative Visions, Des Moines NAACP & Urban Dreams block party in Des Moines, Iowa that she has "a very diverse team." (1/2)
Warren: "I have a very diverse team. & I mean diverse in every meaning of that word. Because I want people who are invested, who come from different experiences, when we sit down at the table to talk about what we can do & where we could make a difference & how we could do it."

Good evening from Dubuque, where @ewarren is holding her second town hall today.
First question is what she will do to tackle the national debt.
“It’s the basic idea that trickle down economics is a monumental failure and it’s time to call it out for what it is.” @ewarren Q from an audience member for @ewarren: "My question for you is, why should I give up things that I hold dear that I teach my children about — that I share common beliefs with my fellow Christians things — like ending abortion, traditional marriage, and religious freedoms."
