Weird reporting "progressives got there early" Was there a sign in sheet with your voting record?

Note McCormick responding to the question ; He directs the questioner "to sit down". He has "dismissed" her. Asserting dominance. Next, "the funny thing is". Said this 3 times. He is demeaning the intelligence of the people ("funny"? Are they stupid, unserious?). He devalued their personal agency. As if, their concerns are superfluous. Vance and Miller also use a tactic of implied "stupidity" upon the questioner. You're "stupid" as you asked the question. Stupid as you didn't understand what was not being explained. If YOU were "smart" you'd accept the BS. Vance enhances his manipulation with performative exasperation. Miller just gets verbally combative.

Do not forget Rep. Rich McCormick that YOU work for WE THE PEOPLE.

They'll send out the $5000 checks when the mid-terms get him. Sell your soul to MAGA for $5000.

It's what they voted for. So why are they complaining?

[tinacorbet]

He said your kids should have to work for their school lunch, I guess we gotta lower that age to 5. School then work at McDonald's

[theCommentDevil]

He said children need to get jobs to pay for school lunch, he said we need to cut social security and medicare and he supports giving the richest people on Earth more money.
That what EVERY Republican stands for.

There were no progressives there. It was red red Republican! However, I'm a progressive that watched the town hall, and I was impressed how they stood up for what they truly believe

[Roxy-evwg]

Did the congressman speak about billionaires’ tax NOPE!!!

[NunyaBusiness]

Coeur d'Alene Idaho woman was dragged out of town hall meeting for using her right freedom of speech. They bullied her accosted her and dragged her out of the meeting because they didn't like what she had to say. Now that is fascism. We need to defend our democracy. Please share this video with everyone Nationwide so they can see what's happening.
