Summary

Rep. Harriet Hageman faced loud boos at a Wyoming town hall after endorsing funding for Elon Musk’s DOGE cost-cutting initiative.

The crowd, mostly opposed to her stance, jeered as she laughed and clapped, labeling the audience’s reaction “embarrassing.”

Hageman defended Social Security funding despite concerns that Musk’s efficiency drive might cut it, calling it a “Ponzi scheme.”

The only bipartisan applause came when Hageman opposed closing rural mail distribution centers.

    The implication I’m getting from that January 6th chant is that they’re basically threatening to lynch 'em. I grew up and am still surrounded by these ingrates, they are surprisingly murder happy towards politicians in general let alone the feds.

        I meant the Trumpers in particular since they can be quite annoying. Also unlike Vance I’m not affiliated with wannabe weirdo pseudo philosophers.

          Lol I know, I was just thinking of Vance’s “have you even said ‘thank you’?”
