Republican Booed in Angry Town Hall Trainwreck: 'F*** You!'

Yet another Republican lawmaker was drowned out by boos and jeers—not to mention repeatedly being called a “liar” and even an “a-----e”—after he tried to sell President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda at an in-person town hall meeting.

Rep. Doug LaMalfa of California was hammered on Monday over Trump’s “Big Beautiful” budget bill, the administration’s devastating tariff policy, and his party’s failure to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

It was the first time LaMalfa—who represents a large swath of rural Northern California—had held an in-person forum in almost eight years, according to Cal Matters.

Several audience members called him out for repeatedly trying to blame Democrats for Republicans’ unpopular moves, including the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein scandal.

Probably why my spineless jellyfish of a congresscritter (Ben Cline, VA-06) won't hold another one. He about got booed off the stage in ruby-red Waynesboro!

Was it the electorally outnumbered liberals/progressives who live in NorCal or was it the confederate dimwits who only have themselves to blame for continually voting to push themselves closer to the margins?

several enclaves known for large concentrations of RWNJ anti-government kooks.

I wonder whether they are re-thinking their idiotology just about now.
