I'm sure "tons" of constituents were "upset," at the very least. After all, a secret ballot cast in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend by the members of only one party alone is the sort of thing I'd expect to hear that "comrades" were involved in, not congressmen.

A few hours and the whole thing was over... with the independence of the Office of Congressional Ethics intact. If you'd forgotten who truly runs this country, I hope this reminded you. The power is ours, if we want it, not theirs. It always has been, whether we've always realized it or not... And I'm proud of President-elect Donald Trump for taking a stand in opposition to the House Republicans and for showing the country that he is capable of thinking like US and about US.
