Republican congressman Mike Flood has gotten an earful during a Nebraska town hall held to defend his support of President Donald Trump's tax breaks and spending cuts law.

The fact of the matter is that a majority of people in Nebraska voted for Trump, though, and now they are getting the policies. So they can scream tax the rich but they voted in a billionaire that only cares about money.

They even got a 4 year example of the guy, yet they still voted him back in. I'm glad they are coming around, but maybe next time they can get a little more educated in their views or open their damn eyes.

So yes, it's great but they need some humility and it needs to sting. Otherwise, they just pick R again because they aren't "woke".

True, but they're here now and we can either shame them or we can propagandize to them

Really curious how far your line of thinking goes.

Do you think that the Texas flood victims, in any capacity, deserved what happened to them because a majority of Texas voted for Trump?

This is a town hall with boos. Not death of children. Of course, they don't deserve that. But I do hope Texas Republicans and families that voted for this are woken up from it.

Otherwise, their deaths are meaningless
