Idaho Rep. Raul Labrador is the latest Republican to face a firing squad of his own constituents during a rowdy town hall Wednesday night in the town of Meridian. "I actually like it," an upbeat Labrador told the crowd. "I'm used to getting booed. I get it at home all the time."

Labrador was heavily questioned about President Trump's decision not to release his tax returns, to which he said: "I don't think that there's anything in the law that requires the president to provide his tax returns. There's nothing in the law." His stance did little to settle the crowd, drawing a loud boo in response, The Spokesman-Review reports.
