Georgia congressman confronted by angry crowd over support for Trump's agenda

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office.

The Suwanee Republican’s staff expected a robust turnout for his first town hall since Trump took office. But they seemed caught off guard by the massive crowd of hundreds that gathered outside Roswell City Hall.

Attendees set the tone early, with one accusing McCormick of “doing us a disservice” for supporting the budget-slashing initiatives by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency that have torn through all corners of federal government.

“You don’t think I’m going to stand up for you?” asked McCormick, as the crowd responded with loud boos.

Unfortunately, the sad fact is it’s only the Republican party that can save us now. And they don’t seem inclined to do so. Put on the pressure, goddamnit.

project 2025 and the irreparable harm to would instill. The price of eggs - which was due to bird flu and explained to the general public. That due to shithole's first calamity of his presidency, COVID 19, which caused inflation was slowly being deduced by the Biden administration.

shithole musk republicans lied (of course) to the American public and now, the USA economy instead of getting better is getting much worse. We are now the enemy on the world stage, and the prospect of a major conflict may be on the horizon.

Republicans caused this.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists
