Twitter meltdown: Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Penn., attacks critics of his anti-veteran vote as ‘trolls’

Posted at 2:19 pm on October 2, 2013 by thisistwitchy

Last night, Twitchy editor Erik Soderstrom set up a website that lists the 164 House Democrats who voted against funding for veterans’ benefits, along with their Twitter handles:

A lot of people have been using Erik’s site, and at least one congressman, Rep. Matt Cartwright, D-Penn., didn’t seem to appreciate the attention:

Maybe he is auditioning to be an Obamacare customer service representative.

By the way, Rep. Cartwright, at least one of those “trolls” is your constituent:
