Oregon Legislators Read Mean Emails

Going viral in a political-geek sort of way is a video compilation of Oregon state legislators reading mean emails from constituents. In the vein of Jimmy Kimmel’s “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” your elected representatives read the nasty emails they’ve been getting.

Local electeds Val Hoyle and Chris Edwards appear half way through the video and read their correspondence complete with curses, mispellings and typos. Rep. Tobias Read kind of gets the best one — “Your a democrat and a Libt*,” But the pure misogyny aimed at Hoyle is not bad either.
