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.

      Next election? Kings don’t need elections. The “president” declared himself over every intentionally independent entity created by Congress. They all report to him now… So “election” spending, controlled by him. What’s allowed, controlled by him, what is allowed to air on television/media, only allowed by him. No media company can speak against him or they can legally be shut down and arrested because he and his attorney general alone can decide what is illegally performed by the media.
