People Are Confronting Their Republican Representatives - And It's a Good Start

Georgia Congressman Rich McCormick - who looks as cartoonishly evil as his name sounds - was confronted during a town hall in Roswell, GA.

During the meeting, many constituents voiced their harsh criticism of McCormick backing the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency, particularly its plan for massive federal layoffs and budget cuts.

It might be because the CDC is located in Georgia and was hit with almost 1,300 probationary employees being fired last week.

During the meeting, one person told McCormick he had done a "disservice" and had failed to "stand up for us" by supporting the cuts. Someone else in the crowd also called Trump a megalomaniac as others hissed and catcalled at the smarmy congressman.

Another attendee also criticized recent cuts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, asking, "Why is the supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?" McCormick replied that "a lot of the work they do is duplicitous with AI. If we continue to grow the size of government and we can't afford it, it's going to have shortfalls in your Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security." Another constituent asked for an explanation for DOGE's "chain saw approach" to layoffs and rushing the process, saying the layoff effort was being "jammed down the pipe, so rushed and sloppily."

McCormick then insisted that agencies decide whom to cut based on headcount directives. The crowd didn't take kindly to this lie, with attendees shouting "No!", and one person yelling: "Elon Musk is deciding." Others declared "we're pissed" and "don't bend over," and then began chanting "shame."

When asked how he plans to "rein in the megalomaniac in the White House." They also referenced a post by Trump on his Truth Social account where he applauded his administration's decision to terminate federal approval of New York's congestion pricing program.

In response, McCormick smugly said: "When you talk about tyranny, when you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected,". He was viciously booed by the audience.

McCormick is the same guy who recently made headlines when he suggested that children taking part in school lunch programs "sponge off the government."
