Summary

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) abruptly canceled a CNN interview after facing intense backlash from constituents at a town hall over mass federal layoffs and spending freezes under Trump.

The cuts, pushed by White House adviser Elon Musk, have sparked public outrage.

On CNN’s The Lead, Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR) acknowledged similar criticism from voters and suggested congressional staff cuts could be considered.

      how those cunts can feel safe walking the streets

      Wait until the cuts and firings are fully realized by the right wing mental morons. The violent MAGAs will be turning their ire towards their own - it won’t be pretty.

      Hopefully they start feeling less and less safe.

      Elon is already concerned it seems, given he carries a meat shield with him everywhere he goes.

      Their days are all numbered.

      We need these gun cunts that have been preaching 2a their whole lives to stand up and fucking practice what they preach.

      I’m not pro 2a, but I’m far more “fuck hypocrites”. It further reinforces how absolutely worthless I think a majority of these people are.

        Trump is going to declare that 2a is DEI and they’ll all say “yes daddy” and sheepishly give up their guns.

        After seeing Jews defend a Nazi salute, anything is possible.

        I mean, they won’t be attending many town halls where the people can speak to them and read them the riot act. Unless those people are just mental midgets that still support them. Or unless they have it set up that they can shut off the mic of any “undesirables” and eject anyone not clapping like seals at everything they say.
