‘He canceled’: House Republican who just got an earful from voters bails on CNN interview
Summary
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) abruptly canceled a CNN interview after facing intense backlash from constituents at a town hall over mass federal layoffs and spending freezes under Trump.

On CNN’s The Lead, Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR) acknowledged similar criticism from voters and suggested congressional staff cuts could be considered.

We need these gun cunts that have been preaching 2a their whole lives to stand up and fucking practice what they preach.
I'm not pro 2a, but I'm far more "fuck hypocrites". It further reinforces how absolutely worthless I think a majority of these people are.
Trump is going to declare that 2a is DEI and they’ll all say “yes daddy” and sheepishly give up their guns.
After seeing Jews defend a Nazi salute, anything is possible.
Time to buy one yourself.
Be the change you want to see.
I'm just going to wait another 75 years for someone to do my dirty work for me, like the rest of the American populace
Hopefully they start feeling less and less safe.
Elon is already concerned it seems, given he carries a meat shield with him everywhere he goes.
Their days are all numbered.
Wait until the cuts and firings are fully realized by the right wing mental morons. The violent MAGAs will be turning their ire towards their own - it won't be pretty.
I genuinely cannot wait. I'll make bets for when we reach 10 Republican Congresspeople taken out by their maga crazed voter base. I'll even make a fucking toast to it
Good. Do this to everyone silently allowing this farce of an administration to continue.
Dictatorship*
Cliff Bentz is an untreated cancerous lesion on my state.
The GOP has gone full blown metastasis across this country.
Stage 4 terminal for America, it's looking like.
"He who saves his country does not violate any law"
keep the pressure on. constantly. do not let them go hide in a hole and ghost their constituents for the next two years.
I fully expect most of these jackasses to go into hiding.
Why? They'll spend taxpayer dollars on security and continue to ratfuck us
I mean, they won't be attending many town halls where the people can speak to them and read them the riot act. Unless those people are just mental midgets that still support them. Or unless they have it set up that they can shut off the mic of any "undesirables" and eject anyone not clapping like seals at everything they say.
Cancelled before the interview, didn't bail in the middle of it.
