Maddow reacts to GOP Rep. Mike Flood being grilled by constituents at town hall
Americans are badgering elected
Republicans everywhere they’re willing
to show their faces. Including tonight
in Nebraska, Republican Congressman Mike
Fled holding a town hall with his red
state constituents. Watch.
Hi, I implore you to be quiet so that we
can hear his responses. Remember, Mike’s
coming up for a reelection and we’d
really like to know what his responses
are.
I’m Rosena.
I write you emails with concerns of your
voting behavior uh regarding Trump and
his actions. You support him, especially
confirming the cabinet. Your responses
are riddled with misinformation and
lies. I fact check you and then I send
the responses back and I get crickets.
If I am fact-checking them because they
are wrong in your response,
I send them back to you and I get
crickets, I get kind of bummed. And this
is not about partisan, this is about
issues because we’re about to lose our
democracy.
My question is fiscal. um with $450
million FEMA dollars being reallocated
to open alligator Alcatraz and 600
million taxpayer FEMA dollars being used
to now open more concentration camps and
ICE burning through $8.4 million a day
to illegally detain people. How much
does it cost for fascism? How much do
the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist
country?
That was in Nebraska tonight at a town
hall held by Republican Congressman Mike
Flood. Him hearing from his constituents
tonight.
We have total clarity now on what
Trump’s intentions are for the country.
But I mean it when I say we. Uh the
country gets it and is more against it
than they’ve ever been.
and opposing this administration and
what Trump is trying to do is turning
out to be the story of the century.
