Hundreds Jeer GOP Rep At Georgia Town Hall [VIDEO]

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

U.S. Rep. Rich McCormick was peppered with boos and catcalls throughout a town hall meeting in Roswell late Thursday, as hundreds of critics jeered the Republican for backing President Donald Trump’s agenda during his first month in office.

The Suwanee Republican’s staff expected a robust turnout for his first town hall since Trump took office. But they seemed caught off guard by the massive crowd of hundreds that gathered outside Roswell City Hall.

Attendees set the tone early, with one accusing McCormick of “doing us a disservice” for supporting the budget-slashing initiatives by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency that have torn through all corners of federal government.

The Huffington Post reports:

McCormick — who recently made headlines when he suggested that children taking part in school lunch programs “sponge off the government” — argued that “a lot of the work” done by probationary employees at the CDC “is duplicitous with AI.”

“Once again, one of the problems we have —,” the congressman continued before the crowd interrupted him. He later added, “If we continue to grow the size of government and we can’t afford it, it’s going to have shortfalls in your Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security.”

The response from constituents in Roswell, part of a congressional district where McCormick won nearly 65% of the vote in November, eerily mirrors scenes of voters shouting down GOP lawmakers at town halls not long after President Donald Trump first took office in 2017.
