Republican Congressmember Mike Flood of Nebraska faced boos and jeers during a town hall in Lincoln, as the crowd confronted him about his vote for Trump’s tax and spending bill. Hundreds packed the town hall chanting “Tax the rich,” and multiple people called Flood a “liar” as he defended his vote to cut Medicaid, food benefits and other programs. Here’s an audience member questioning Congressmember Flood.
Audience member: “My question is fiscal. 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?”
