REP. RICH McCORMICK: When you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected TOWN HALL CROWD: *Noooooooooooo!*

It’s false equivalency. Biden never declared himself king. Also, J6 mob didn’t just raise their voice in opposition like those in attendance as this mendacious Representative implies. They stormed the capitol and assaulted police officers with weapons. Again, false equivalency.

How will you know what the job numbers are? I’ve been thinking about that as I’ve watched these mass firings everywhere - seeing lots of job losses not any new ones, but… Are you gonna trust job numbers from this WH?

I am hoping that enough of the GOP believes our democratic systems will mostly be maintained and also realizes that bowing to Trump isn’t the win they were hoping for with their constituents. Maybe then they can be convinced to join the Democrats and use their power against Trump.

Apples and hand grenades. There are deep divisions in the democratic base on certain topics (such as Palestine) Democrats are responsible for civil rights, gay rights, accommodations for the disabled, covid stimulus payments, tens of billions in student loan forgiveness, EV and green energy ->

Subsidies. Heck Biden actually pulled out of Afghanistan, as messy as it was. The argument that the Dems don't do anything is BS. Do I want them to get more done? Yes. Do I agree with every position? No. But it is nothing like the GOP that literally poisons the water and cuts taxes for the rich

Pollsters-can Do Away with that Stupid Question: "Do You Think You Were Better Off [Then] Or [Now]?" THE LIFE OF NOBODY LIVING HAS *EVER* BEEN LIKE THIS! EVERYBODY'S LIFE WAS BETTER-AT ANY OTHER TIME-THAN IT IS RIGHT NOW! America - and the World - Know! 🇺🇸 🌍

This is the second "town hall" I've seen today where a republican candidate talks over the legitimate criticisms and questions, insults his own constituents, and refuses to engage in civics. Cool.

Yeah…nothing ever good comes after “the funny thing is” from guy like that. I’m sure A LOT OF WOMEN will be extra fucking pissed from that white male glib presumptuous privilege. It’s a problem.

It's HIS JOB to b there. What an ass. They serve at OUR PLEASURE. They r supposed to represent us and what we want. Why do they think they have the right to not represent us but themselves? Somehow this has gotten all ass backwards

It's good to see this rep's constituents ain't buying the whataboutism. I mean, if the "what about both sides?" argument begins to fail the Republican party, it will crumble like the walls of Jericho. They literally have no other justification for anything they are doing.

Seriously. And he didn't even answer the question. I remember Trump's 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl back in 2020 where he kept going back to "But Biden." Stahl finally told him, "Yes, but FORGET him." I hope he never does, though. Biden will always be the guy that beat him.

This is my town. Roswell, GA. We elected McBath and they redrew the district this year. We get this douche who thinks he can sell dipping into social security and medicare to a room full of mainly retired people. If that's their game, it sets up the perfect opportunity to convert some seniors. #DNC

Crazy ass thing is that he’s my Rep too and my address is Gainesville…Gerrymandering himself into office. And you bet your ass I made the almost hour drive to be there Thursday night! He was so smug and disingenuous.

What he says is a point AGAINST his argument. If republicans were upset at the presidential power / overreach of Biden, they should be going crazy over Trump doing 10x that. Or he's openly admitting to being a hypocrite. Please think out your arguments before you make them.

He tired real hard to pivot and use the “Biden” card. That shit ain’t working no more because A LOT of GOP folks are seeing through the bullshit they Trump is trying to do and that he lied to their faces to get elected. These folks are getting shafted by the GOP, and most of them don’t want

Nor like the idea of Project 2025 and the reducing of their benefits. We warned these folks that Trump was lying to them, and we tried to tell them. It’s good to see that the leopards are starting to wake up to turn in their masters we warned them abt

There are quite a few around here. Different town halls. This week reps are home and Dems are even going into red areas holding them. A group are doing one in Nebraska and Iowa..

When democrats start threatening the republican leaders like republican supporters do it to dem we will start seeing something & all these unhappy Republicans to Trump needs to feel the heat 🇨🇦

The speaker keeps trying to say ‘…the funny thing is…’ - trouble is he don’t seem to realise the audience don’t find whatever he is trying to say is a joke in any way, shape or form!!

Republicans in Congress are cracking! After being beat up in town halls. Phones won't stop ringing. Wondering what would happen to they if they stoop up. Call them, visit their local office. Keep up the pressure! Today do something! Pick up your phone. You have power. More than you know. Use it!

Action Required: Put pressure on Republicans. Call them everyday! The power is in your hands, our hands! You are strong! What you can do today AND everyday! Call your representatives in the House and Senate Local and Federal. Especially if they are Republicans. Everyday a different subject. 💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙

I feel like this is the moment when the snake oil salesmen get run out of their towns. There is only so far you can push white folks who, by the way, can stop all this. 🤞🤞

Republicans can't help themselves. Legitimately, he could have said, "We're working on limiting executive power with this bill" which would have been a (partial) answer to the question. Instead, he HAD to try the whole "Biden is just as bad!" And I'm glad no one was having it.
