Jim McGovern, representing the Massachusetts 2nd Congressional District, addressed a packed high school auditorium this morning. Without a single MAGA hat in sight, McGovern delivered a forceful message of Democratic resistance against Trump and his subservient Republican cronies.
Listening to McGovern and the questions from his constituents, I had flashbacks to my radio reporting days. Back then, I stayed to the very end of meetings, then I’d conduct interviews to get audio for broadcast. Today, as a spectator rather than a reporter, I left after two hours when an activist took some applause he received as giving him permission to indulge in vituperative grandstanding.
