Rep. Mike Coffman faces enormous challenges for re-election in 2018.

The tide is turning on the idea of sensible gun law reforms and nobody got that message more clearly than Republican Rep. Mike Coffman from Colorado’s 6th District, which happens to encompass two of the most tragic mass shooting locations in the nation—Columbine and Aurora. Coffman represents a district that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 and his seat is one of many at play for Democrats in 2018.

Coffman hosted a town hall in Greenwood Village, Colorado, and from the first moment when he offered “thoughts and prayers” for Stoneman Douglas victims and survivors, the crowd began to rage:

Grumbling and jeers met the request for a moment of silence for the 17 people killed last week in the Florida school shooting. “Let’s do something for them!” one man yelled at the beginning of Republican Rep. Mike Coffman’s town hall Tuesday night in Greenwood Village. Another participant cried out, “We’re done with thoughts and prayers!”

While Coffman tried to tap dance around actually getting something done, the boos continued to rain down.
