Republican Rep. Mike Flood appeared in front of Nebraska voters Tuesday as he tried to defend President Donald Trump's "big and beautiful bill," a settlement package passed by the House last week, which is expected to force millions of Americans out of their health care insurance and food aid.
Unfortunately, the Flood hasn't actually read the bill.
The flood could hardly pass a word without facing booing and the cheers of the audience. Once, when asked about a provision in the Republican mass settlement package that restricted the judiciary’s ability to despise government officials, Hongshui said he disagreed with the provision, and then admitted that “when I voted, I didn’t know the provision.”
“I was sworn in as a state senator, I was sworn in as a member of Congress, I support our court system, and I do believe that the federal district court should have legal effect when the injunction is issued,” Flood said on the question. “In fact, when the Biden administration was in place, I rely on that and the federal court made a huge effort.”
Floods added: “When I voted for the bill, this provision was unaware of it to me.
The confession prompted the attendees to speak out. Hongshui finally interrupted, telling the crowd that he "will not hide the truth."
The MP then said he “will tell me very clearly that the people of the meeting that we cannot support undermining our court system and that we must allow our federal courts to be able to implement the problem, the injunction.”
It was a tense peak of a fierce event. In another case, when Flood insists that he is a true supporter of the Constitution, one listener shouts “and do” from the crowd.
In holding City Hall, the flood was actually the advice of Republican leaders, who earlier this year advised members of the party to avoid other confrontations with members on Republican unpopular policy initiatives.
Other Republicans, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) and Mike Lawler (RN.Y.) have attended public party meetings, with their anger at voters facing anger over mass killings, public corruption and the president's ongoing violations of the court. "Big and Beautiful" Bill proposed cutting the Social Security Net program to provide tax breaks for the wealthy, which is also not very popular.
But Republicans remain firmly committed to fulfilling Trump’s policy platform, even if it is unpopular, even if it frees millions of Americans from health insurance. An angry flood complained as his voters yelled at him: “You can get applause when you call me a fascist.”
"But I'm not," he insisted.
