Dave Reichert Missing? Craigslist Ad Seeks Congressman

ISSAQUAH, WA - It was probably bound to happen - someone decided to get sarcastic with U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert's refusal to hold a town hall meeting with constituents.

This week, a joker posted an ad on the Seattle Craigslist titled, "Missing: Congressman Dave Reichert (8th District)."

The ad was posted five days ago, which is just a little after Reichert held an online town hall. He sat down with KCTS 9 broadcaster Enrique Cerna on Feb. 23 and answered questions from constituents. The hour-long event was broadcast on Facebook live.

Reichert said during that event that he won't hold a town hall because he fears it would just become a shouting match. He also expressed concern for the safety of his staff. He told Cerna that he's received death threats, with one person wishing that he get buried alive in a landslide.

Still, Reichert's refusal to conduct a town hall drew criticism from constituents. And the latest is, as we mentioned, very sarcastic. Here's what the Craigslist ad says:

"Dave was last seen in Washington voting against requiring President Trump to release his tax returns so that an adequate assessment of conflicts of interest could be made in the interest of protecting the United States against threats foreign and domestic. He was briefly seen voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act removing healthcare for many of his constituents.

"Dave was supposed to be back in District 8 to meet with his constituents, the people he works for, but has not been seen since leaving Washington DC.

"If you see Dave please approach him calmly, he may be suffering from paranoia induced dementia as he has apparently forgotten who he works for and what his job is."
