Democrats like Rep. Steny Hoyer are taking the opportunity to dish out party lines and propaganda.

.@craftyme25 House Dems are committed to showing American people we’re on your side, while House Rs say “you’re on your own” #AskDems

— Steny Hoyer (@WhipHoyer) September 18, 2014

One tweep isn’t buying that.

@NancyPelosi You dems tax the middle class working man, WE pay for everything. How are you for us if you’re the ones who hurt us? #AskDems

Another questioned the Democrats’ clear prioritizing of illegal immigrants over citizens.

#askdems why do Democrats allow people who have no rights to vote in America more ability 2 dictate policy than Americans they r 2 represent

Another wants to follow the money.

#AskDems What the heck have you done with all the money that we already sent you?

Democrats aren’t running on Obamacare, but they can’t run away from it.

If ACA is so great, why does it have to be enforced by law? #AskDems

#AskDems Can any of you name the medications no longer covered under most #Obamacare plans?

MeganSmiles was just getting started “asking Dems.”

#AskDems Is protecting the #IRS more important than getting to the truth?

A couple of polls came out today showing that Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) is now trailing to his GOP challenger. That’s probably not what the Democrats wanted to be asked about.

Too bad.

#AskDems What will Udall do after November?

MeganSmiles was just getting warmed up.

#AskDems When you took your oath of office -did you just say the words without understanding their meaning? #Constitution

Here’s another question that Democrats will not answer. Ever.

#AskDems If you had your way – your complete wish list granted – how much of my income would I be allowed to keep?

— Drew Belsky (@DJB627) September 18, 2014

And another.

Why was dissent “patriotic” when Bush was in office but it’s “racist” when Obama is in the same chair? #AskDems

— Drone Bait (@BigRMV) September 18, 2014

The Democrats lost control of their own Twitter townhall. So Hoyer decided to just exit, stage left.

Thanks to all those who participated, asked qs during @HouseDemocrats’ Twitter Town Hall contrasting our record with House GOP #AskDems

— Steny Hoyer (@WhipHoyer) September 18, 2014

That’s all folks!

But it wasn’t the last word, as you’ll see on the next page.

#AskDems which is more lucrative: running the government or running organized crime?

— Tony Bruni (@tonybruni) September 18, 2014

#AskDems Why do the most progressive states have the widest income gaps? Shouldn’t you work on yourself first?

#AskDems What’s next in your attempt to erode 1st & 2nd amendment rights? Or do you have new & exciting ways planned to take away liberties?
