Smirking Jeff Flake Spars with ANGRY crowd in his first Town Hall This Year and seemed to think it was all a big joke.

But will he be smirking and laughing at his constituents at the next election?

That is up to you....

Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., got more boos than cheers from the estimated 1,800 people who turned out to his town hall in Mesa, Ariz., on Thursday evening, the lawmaker's first such event of the year.

The audience appeared to be comprised of mostly Democratic activists - as evident by the majority of people who protested the senator's statements throughout the event.

Newsmaker Sunday: Newly-Minted Andy Biggs

Talks like a Democrat but struggles with his words on nearly every response.

Getting hassled by 'liberals' at Town Hall meeting here? Or far right Repubs when 600 people showed up. Says he saw only one person from 'his group of supporters'.
Mixed feelings about strike on Syria... he's worried about taking unilateral action when Congress can only declare war?
