Constituents Confront Elected Officials over “Tyranny in the White House” at Local Town Halls

HeadlineFeb 24, 2025

Angry constituents confronted Republican lawmakers at town hall meetings across the country this weekend. In Georgia, Republican Representative Rich McCormick was repeatedly booed and grilled over his support for Donald Trump.

Virginia Lim: “Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king. So I would like to know — rather, the people would like to know — what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House.”

In Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, a woman was forcibly removed from a Republican town hall after voicing concerns over cuts to Medicaid. Video shows the woman was pulled out of her seat by three unidentified, plainclothes security personnel.
