Republican Greg Steube won re-election to his U.S. Congressional seat with 64% of the vote, but that didn’t stop two Democrats from coming to his Sarasota district over the weekend to talk with constituents.

Orlando’s Rep. Maxwell Frost and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy were at the Harvest House Center last Saturday where they blasted Steube over his support of President Trump.

One of the congressman’s constituents, Vince Staley, told the Sarasota Herald-Tribune that the event “would have been a much better town hall meeting had our elected Republican congressman been present to answer his constituents’ concerns.”

Frost, America’s first Gen-Z member of Congress, piled on via a social media post after the event.

“While Republican members of Congress continue hiding from their constituents, we’re showing up in red districts across the country,” he wrote. “People from different political ideologies are showing up, all pissed about how working people are being stolen from in order to give corrupt billionaires and mega-corporations a tax cut.”
