Dem to GOP Colleague: Turn on Your Phones, Your Constituents are Calling

Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., said Thursday that constituents of his fellow New York legislator were calling his office over the Republican effort to repeal Obamacare.

Hey @RepJohnFaso could you turn your phones on? Your #NY19 constituents are calling my office. #Trumpcare

Rep. John Faso, R-N.Y., said Thursday that he would vote yes on the Republican healthcare plan.

"After careful review of the changes to the American Health Care Act, I believe that this legislation addresses my concerns and I will support the AHCA as amended," he said, according to The Hill.

Later that day, Maloney claimed a largely negative response from Faso's constituents.

Hundreds have called my office to say NO to #Trumpcare. I agree. Not too late to call Congress 202-224-3121 #VoteNoAHCA

The House narrowly passed the American Health Care Act Thursday afternoon. Faso was not among the 20 "no" votes from the GOP.
