On Monday, Republican Rep. Mike Flood was met with jeers and boos during a chaotic town hall in Lincoln, Nebraska, as the lawmaker attempted to sell Donald Trump’s unpopular agenda to a crowd of his usually reliable conservative constituents.
On Tuesday’s “Deadline: White House,” Nicolle Wallace shared clips from Flood’s disastrous face-to-face with voters, during which she said constituents “took him to task over and over.” For 87 minutes, the Republican, who won his district by more than 20 points last year, faced questions about the party’s massive spending bill and its drastic cuts to Medicaid, Trump’s recent firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics commissioner and the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein probe.
The event ended with the crowd heckling Flood, chanting “Vote him out!” as he exited the stage.
“That’s about how it’s going to be a Republican right now in America — not just in America, but in ruby-red Nebraska,” Wallace said, adding that Flood’s voters “are not happy with the Republican brand, the Republican Party, the Republican representative, and his practice of blindly rubber-stamping all of Donald Trump’s policies and practices, especially the parts that undermine American democracy.”
