McClintock hosts another raucous town hall in El Dorado Hills

More than 1,700 people turned out Saturday morning at an El Dorado Hills high school to once again let Republican Rep. Tom McClintock know how they feel about GOP policies and his support of President Donald Trump.
Like three other town halls McClintock has hosted in the past month, the majority of attendees were angry and spoke vehemently about recent changes in immigration law, the proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act and civil rights issues.
But a growing number in the rowdy crowd – about a quarter – were there to show support for the beleaguered congressman, many sporting green T-shirts advertising their allegiance to the State of Jefferson, a conservative movement that advocates for a large stretch of rural Northern California to break from the rest of the state. Those fans said McClintock and Trump are on the right path to restoring affordable insurance, putting education decisions back in the hands of states and securing the nation’s borders.
