Summary
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) faced backlash at a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, over his support for Elon Musk and deep federal budget cuts.
Constituents jeered and booed as McCormick defended layoffs at the CDC, arguing AI makes some jobs redundant.
Attendees criticized the cuts as rushed and extreme, chanting “shame” and accusing him of harming local communities.
The heated event echoed past voter outrage at town halls, with some Republicans avoiding similar meetings after Trump’s first term began in 2017.
So we should embrace people who f=ing caused that? Them realizing they made a mistake will not matter if the current government will make voting against them even harder or even impossible.
A better approach would be to give them safe harbor.
If they feel they will be forever cast adrift, who do you think they’ll vote for next time?
What do you suggest we do then?
