VIDEO: ‘Just A Mom’ At Town Hall Meeting Is Exposed As Republican Operative

By GottaLaff

Note: Sorry about the double video. I can't get rid of it.

These everyday neighbory grassrooty types? They're not so everyday neighbory grassrooty after all, as we keep finding out. Rep. Steve Kagen (D-WI) had a town hall meeting yesterday and, of course, got shouted down:

One vocal attendee was a woman named Heather Blish, who identified herself as “just a mom from a few blocks away” and “not affiliated with any political party.” When interviewed by the local NBC affiliate, Blish insisted she was not a member of the Republican Party. “I left the party,” she said. Blish’s statements, however, are distortions. From NBC’s report:

Her LinkedIn page shows something different. She was the vice chair of the Republican Party of Kewaunee County until last year. She worked on the John Gard campaign, who ran unsuccessfully against Kagen last year. And it says she’s a part of the Republican Party for Kagen’s district, as well as the Republican Party of Wisconsin, and the Republican National Committee.

Can't get much more everyday neighbory than that, huh?
