Another Chicken GOP'er hiding from his constituents over Obamacare Repeal

Congressman Dave Brat (R-VA) is a big opponent of the Affordable Care Act, which is why he’s proposed one of the many substandard replacements for what can replace Obamacare when Congress repeals it, as he hopes it does. In the meantime, however, his constituents are rather concerned about losing their coverage, and he’s doing his best to ignore them.

“Since Obamacare and these issues have come up, the women are in my grill no matter where I go,” Brat told a meeting of conservative groups on Saturday. He explained that they’re always pestering him about when his next town hall will be — “and believe me, it’s not to give positive input.”

Video of that meeting was shared by a new Facebook group called 7th District Town Hall Meeting, which is dedicated solely to asking the question of when Brat will ever hold another town hall meeting. A post from last week notes, for example, “Funny how he has time for fundraisers and Facebook but cannot answer one simple question — when is the next Town Hall meeting?”

all up in my grill doesn't necessarily mean in someone's business.

it means someone's in your face.
grill = face.

therefore, it can also be used describing someone who is excessively annoying and bothering you.

and I salute your "smug, nasty fuck." I plan to steal that.

ETA and "up in my grill" minimizes the seriousness of the question; it's what Archie Bunker would have said to Edith just before advising her to stifle herself.

Your representative isn't serving you, he's hiding from meeting with you, and he thinks you're a bunch of pests. I know that the Republican party is your lodestar, but if they've strayed away from your principles and ideals, maybe it's time to vote representatives like Brat out of office?
