Indivisible Bucks County wants town hall with Rep. Fitzpatrick as GOP faces DOGE backlash

Constituents delivered 700 letters to Rep. Fitzpatrick's office demanding he hold a town hall meeting.
Fitzpatrick has not held an in-person town hall since 2017.

Fitzpatrick voted for a budget bill that includes tax cuts and spending cuts, but his office maintains that Medicaid was not specifically targeted.

Protesters handed 700 letters over to Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick’s Middletown office Wednesday demanding that he push back on President Donald Trump and hold a town hall for constituents.

The letters from progressive nonprofit Indivisible Bucks County come after GOP lawmakers across the country have faced crowds at public meetings outraged over federal funding cuts and mass firings since Trump took office six weeks ago.

“In the wake of Elon Musk’s firing of civil servants, the degradation of federal agencies, and the compromise of the personal data of millions of Americans, over 110 Bucks County voters descended upon Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick’s office to demand that he assert his article one powers under the Constitution, to be a check upon this manifest executive overreach,” a news release from Indivisible says.

And people here keep falling for it. If he was actually all these things he wouldn’t have an R next to his name.
