Holy shit! You’ve got to see this town hall. Republicans are starting to get torn apart by their own constituents. Rep. Rich McCormick: “You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” Woman in the crowd: “You need to stand up.” Another woman: “Don’t bend over.” 🔥

Meanwhile, outside, folks are not playin… Nearly 500 people showed up for Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick’s District 7 town hall. This is the third overflow area—the crowd is fired up, demanding a live stream and more town halls.

Yay!!! I’m sooo happy to hear this!!! I have been writing him letters since we were gerrymandered into his area, and I have called almost daily since Trump took office, all to be roundly ignored. Ignore me to my FACE, sir 😡😡😡 Let me know how it goes!!!!

It brings home that all the slogans-it's all rigged, gov/ts are corrupt, impotent Congress, need a dictatorship, Musk's gonna run the world-it all shakes and shivers once confronted.

Don’t do what Trump says? You get primaried. Don’t do what your constituents want? You get primaried. You ring-kissers got yourselves between a rock and a hard place, huh? FAFO

Thing is, no elected Republicans are standing up to Trump. None are voting against his nominees. Constituents being pissed is a good thing, but only if it changes government's behavior. So far it is not.

The constituents are getting pissed and this is in a RED district. And not for nothing…looking at that crowd it was very white. No BS or spin can be said about who were there yelling and making the statements. The shit is hitting the fan and these people know it! This is only the beginning!!

She can talk out the both sides of her mouth. But watch his voting record. He voted for 69 million women to lose their voting rights because they took their husband’s last name. He didn’t read the bill and lied to the woman in the town hall. He also laughed. He didn’t like being confronted. Too bad!

Wow, so nice to see people asking such good questions, and not giving up if answers were not given. The mis-statements she made about USDS can be debunked through a very simple fact check. I get so tired of the "he did it first" gaslighting.

(1/2) She said McCor-prick thinks it’s important for teens to help themselves by getting jobs and end the cycle of poverty b/c that’s what he did. Well bully for him! What was his pay per hour back then?? How many gallons of gas did that buy back then? How much in groceries?

(2/2) Compare that to minimum wage today and how much in gas or groceries it can buy. RAISE THE F-ING MINIMUM WAGE, *then* talk about ending the cycle of poverty! 🤬🤬🤬🤬 That smug line of right-wing “just get a job” BS makes me so 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Thank you for your extended video. In it she says “Elon Musk is working for the federal government. He is not a private citizen anymore.” Anyone who is silenced on X should use this clip from this comms dir. of an R representative to challenge him re: 1A.

WHOA HOLD ON… okay high schooler asks about the “feeding off the gov’t” stuff and here answer is she herself has kids on free lunch? Unless I misheard does this mean the congressman doesn’t pay his communications director enough money so they wouldn’t qualify?

Great video, love to see people starting to wake up and hold them accountable! She said the congressmen got by using grants and scholarships, interesting grants and scholarships are now frozen and in risk of being eliminated! Wish someone would have said that in direct response to her lies!

Not risk being frozen, they are gone...Every kid who wanted to go to college his parents or him are going to have to have the cash. There is no more federal funding at all. No Pell grants or any grants. If the parents want to take a loan, it has to be personal and they need

GOP senators and representatives think they have Trump to fear. Wait till they cut Medicaid and Social Security and realize they actually have their constituents to fear because they created new Luigis.

I've heard a rumor that GOP senators and representatives are very concerned that in recent weeks, Charles Bronson movie posters have been selling out and that there now seems to be a tremendous renewed interest in his films from an elderly audience Anybody have any idea what this might be about?

This is great. And she is actually quite good at what she’s doing. Calm. Respectful. Can we get her on our side? Maybe if someone tells her she’s working for someone who is collaborating with Nazis, we can snag her.

Republican voters are in trouble. Trump lied to them to get their votes now acting like the dictator and he & Elon firing ppl both dems & republicans for nothing. Threaten their rep to cross over to save democracy bc it’s on the line. Trump & Elon ALL Putin & that’s not democracy but dictatorship.

Yessssssssss!!!! We did not vote for nor do we trust Musk. We do not want you to mess with our healthcare or our retirement. I cannot believe people are okay with TEENAGE HACKERS having your data!

We are. Pramila Jayapal had a town hall in Seattle and it started over 30 minutes late because of so many folks and they were at capacity with many more outside. Sure, she’s a Dem - but we are! We need more conservatives to show up.

I have a legitimate question I hope someone can answer. I live close to the border of my district. My Congressman is a Democrat, who I proudly voted for, but my neighboring district is Republican, currently (swing district). Can I show up to town halls at both or do I need to be in their district?

Trump, Musk, AND PUTIN need to wake up and realize that, unlike those born in the former Soviet Bloc, Americans weren't born into a legacy of licking boots. We will fight for the freedoms WE KNOW we are entitled to. We're not going to just roll over like people who fear for their bread rations.

Yep. Our identity as free means more to us than they realize-- and not just to "patriots" who glory in abusing and excluding others. They'll find that the average American identifies with freedom's promise more than they thought.

But they voted for this, why are they mad? Did any of them thoroughly explain how they could now be mad at something they voted for? Oh yeah, it’s the Mexican and blacks not us. They sound like Jesse Waters, Not supposed to happen to US!

It’s important that we see this video. People are pissed. It’s not just democrats. Republicans have lost respect and faith in their own voters. Again I know this is too little too late. But more voices are needed to hear how pissed off this “administration” is making Americans

The problem isn’t just a few politicians, it’s a system that lets them ignore us until election season. Imagine if they actually had to follow our votes every day, not just when they’re cornered in a town hall. We need to create direct democracy.

That would require most of the electorate to be self aware, compassionate and an ability to remember the past. All of which they are not. By next November they'll be lining up for someone worse who is blaming all the problems on im-grents and them others

Almost half the country doesn’t vote because they aren't represented by either party. If people had power over decisions, they’d have a reason to stay informed. If we could vote on policies more than once every few years, we wouldn’t be stuck waiting for the next election to change course.

In closed door conversations they have said they fear retaliation or violence from the maga base if they don't rubber stamp everything that comes from Trump. No they don't stand up. They bend over and moan "yes daddy" like the whores they are.

The GOP plan is obvious. Let Trump do whatever he wants, hope the courts will determine what is and isn’t right. Accept no responsibility or blame no matter how it works out.

I’m more of a conspiracy theorist. I think let T scorch the entire government, when they’ve got everything F’ up article 25 him and bring in Vance to save us. We will then have V for 10 years if they can wait for two years. There’s a reason he’s in hiding. No fame, no blame.

It’s become a party of petty opposition. They have not actually been able to function as the party in power for a decade plus. They make no attempt to solve problems, just point fingers and tell their base who to blame. 2025-26 are going to be something

This is no doubt a shitty thing to suggest, and I really don't particularly like saying it... But these idiots that voted for Trump really need to suffer in order for the message to get through to them. Normal public discourse doesn't exist anymore...so, sorry people...fuck around, find out.

But, I don't understand. What is he actually going to do. What did the people actually ask for? Being there and coal is great, but we need to get specific questions in front of our reps and they have to give specific answers with a time line. So, we can hit them with it again. We need results!

They also are the type who can’t just say “I don’t know but I will find out and get back to you.” I respect that approach, as long as there’s follow-through.

We all need to be doing this with every one of our senators and congressmen. Once they know how furious we are and how we take it out on them the next time we need to vote they will take action because they want to save their own asses.

Here’s some help to get you started @5calls.org 🦋 If you’re looking for your rep; it’s on there. If you’re nervous about what to say; it’s on there. If you just want to leave a message or email; it’s on there. 😉

This is my district- it’s actually purple and many people do care beyond themselves— this district used to belong to Lucy McBath- they gerrymandered it this past year. So I’m glad to Roswell show up and remind him he needs to do his job!

Of course, they're outraged. Because they are realizing that all this fuckery is not just affecting the "people over there". It's affecting them as well. And THAT, they didn't vote for.

What do they think? That the generation that stopped a damned war is going to just accede to a would be king? Now they are older, and have the time, and he’s pissed them off. Trump’s built a bigger tent. Of people united against him. (As well as united Canadians, but that’s another feed…)

“If you’re going to just yell at me….” JFC He’ll be just like Peter Roskam was; he just won’t have any anymore town halls. Roskam had one & caught hell - it was the last one he had - over the course of 11 years. Casten, OTOH, has multiple town halls when he’s in town.

By promising his constituents that he’s going to hurt black brown LGBT & immigrants. by promising he will vote to take basic social safety nets way, and tell people to pull themselves up by their boots straps. Meanwhile gonna hurt them & poor whites just as much as the ones they WANT him to hurt.

It’s only been 31 days, now just thing of how much worse thing are going to get, if we even have a country left. Americans booing Canada’s national anthem, Trump & Woods selling PGA golf to Saudi Arabia where 19 of the 911 came from, Bin Laden is now a hero, Putin is our friend! WTF America. !!!

Good post, Chris. Fits right in with my list of Real things people can do: - Register To Vote! - VOTE in EVERY Election You Can! NO MORE NOT VOTING! - Dispute-In Public-ALL #Trump and #MAGA Lies! - Contribute What You Can, To Legal Fights! - Hold Your Reps Accountable! 🇺🇸 🗽

A republican saying “you don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” is rich. Can anyone remember the last time a republican stood up for a non-wealthy American?

From the NBC News story: "McCormick responded that “a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI.”" I don't think "duplicitous" means what he thinks it means. duplicitous: dishonest behavior that is meant to trick someone Freudian slip? Unintentional honesty? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

nbcnews.comGeorgia Republican faces town hall backlash over DOGE's 'chainsaw approach' to federal cutsRep. Rich McCormick, who represents a safe GOP district, came under harsh criticism that focused on the Trump administration’s moves to slash federal jobs and budgets.

"If you're going to yell at me, that's not an effective town hall." Oh, yes it is. Yes, yes it is. Stand there and FEEL THE ANGER, Congressman. Your constituents are ANGRY because you aren't doing your job. Be a man and take it. Yell at him, folks. Yell at ALL of them.

Sorry you fucking racists, this is the shit you voted for when EVERYONE told you not to. But no, it was more important to you to hurt minorities, black and brown people, trans kids, and now you reap the fucking whirlwind.

Idunno. I think I’d rather see a rep in a bright red district like that getting yelled at. We can always do that thing with the horses after if we need to do one of those revolution things. His charming communications director had to turn the rest of the crowd away because the venue was too small

Oralè Resisters Jocelynn Rojo Carranza 11 years girl suicide death “They were going to call immigration so they could take her parents away and she would be left alone,” This horrifying tragedy is awful, I feel so bad for her grieving parents. #JocelynnRojoCarranza #USDemocracy

Who tf cares. They are on the right side and willing to speak up now. Swallow the childish “I told you so “bullshit and encourage them to do exactly this. Because THIS is where we want them to be - pissed as hell.
