GOP Lawmaker’s Town Hall Turns Ugly Fast

“Rep. Mike Flood faced a barrage of criticism at a packed town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska, Monday evening as constituents repeatedly confronted him over his support for President Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill,’ immigration policy and what they described as threats to democracy,” CNN reports.

“It didn’t take long for the audience gathered for the meeting at the University of’ Nebraska to erupt in chants of ‘tax the rich,” while the Republican congressman attempted to defend his decision to vote for the the president’s massive agenda.”

Playbook: “Things started out civil enough — for the first two minutes and 49 seconds… For the next 80 minutes or so, it careened downhill.”

“It also suggests that Republicans may have a town hall problem on their hands. Will other members see Flood’s performance and alter their recess plans?”
