Maddow reacts to GOP Rep. Mike Flood being grilled by constituents at town hall

Americans are badgering elected Republicans everywhere they’re willing to show their faces. Including tonight in Nebraska, Republican Congressman Mike Fled holding a town hall with his red state constituents. Watch. Hi, I implore you to be quiet so that we can hear his responses. Remember, Mike’s coming up for a reelection and we’d really like to know what his responses are. I’m Rosena. [Applause] I write you emails with concerns of your voting behavior uh regarding Trump and his actions. You support him, especially confirming the cabinet. Your responses are riddled with misinformation and lies. I fact check you and then I send the responses back and I get crickets. If I am fact-checking them because they are wrong in your response, I send them back to you and I get crickets, I get kind of bummed. And this is not about partisan, this is about issues because we’re about to lose our democracy. My question is fiscal. um with $450 million FEMA dollars being reallocated to open alligator Alcatraz and 600 million taxpayer FEMA dollars being used to now open more concentration camps and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people. How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country? That was in Nebraska tonight at a town hall held by Republican Congressman Mike Flood. Him hearing from his constituents tonight. We have total clarity now on what Trump’s intentions are for the country. But I mean it when I say we. Uh the country gets it and is more against it than they’ve ever been. and opposing this administration and what Trump is trying to do is turning out to be the story of the century.

“Opposing this administration and what Trump is trying to do is turning out to be the story of the century.”

  2. Thank you Rachael. The country needs to know what is going on. For the immediate future, we need to be better prepared for emergencies, avoid risks and help each other get through the difficult times ahead.

  5. No sympathy. No empathy. None for anyone who has a consequence from their votes. We tried to tell them.

  21. You where dumb enough to vote for Trump, you knew about his 34 Felonies, 6 Bankruptcy, trying to end Democracy January 6 2021.

    89 million Americans did not care to vote, shameful.

  24. The stupid fat accountant forgot what it cost to house and feed 11,000,000 illegal aliens. The costs for that are egregious. But the Democrats are playing with you, when in fact the Democrats are the fascists. They are violent, they refuse to accept that the country does not see things their way and they get angry like spoiled rotten children when they don't get what they want. The truth is, our country is becoming more conservative because of the liberal left and their a use of power and mis.anage.e t of the taxpayers dollars. And this clown 'it' who is hosting ally his misinformation is nothing more than an idiotic socialist who wants to destroy the foundations of America. Good luck. We republicans will come out in full force against your leftist agenda. You will never take over America voluntarily.

  29. Those republicans are really upset with their racist president…..you voted for this! WE TOLD YOU PEOPLE OVER & OVER & OVER AGAIN BEFORE 11/5/24 THAT trump WOULD BE A COMPLETE DISASTER…….now you know!!!!💯

  32. EXACTLY the reason why our Republican Rep's won't do an in person town hall meeting AT ALL, zero, not happening. F'n liars, cheats and scared to face their own constituents.

  33. Please stop JUST blaming trump, and start blaming the entire Republican Party along with trump.
    The word republican needs to be toxic under d.j.t

  39. I am so SICK of them REPUBLICANS! How can they hurt the American people like this!? WE are they hands that feed them when we struggle to feed ourselves? THEY LIVE HIGH OFF OF US TAXPAYERS WHILE OUR STRUGGLES GET WORSE EVERYDAY! This has to stop! They have no shame!

    TAXPAYERS
