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.
Waaahhh!! They got what they wanted. I wonder how many of these people are part of the 65% that voted in this pile of garbage…
Probably a handful. But 35% of a congressional district is (in the lowest population district, which this one isn’t) is 190,780 people. You can easily get a small town community center full of people who voted against him and didn’t ask for any of this.
Fair enough.
