GOP Rep Mike Flood (NE) Triggers Town Hall Fury by Saying: 'I Support Elon Musk'
GOP Rep Triggers Town Hall Fury by Saying: ‘I Support Elon Musk’ (The Daily Beast)Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) was booed relentlessly for his support for Elon Musk and his criticism of Ukraine’s president.
A Nebraska congressman who apparently thought it would be safe to venture into his deep-red district for a town hall was met with angry booing and jeers over his support for Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) also faced outrage Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s lack of support for Ukraine, along with fears the government will gut and privatize the U.S. Postal Service, the Associated Press reported.
About 200 people attended the town hall, which was held in a high school auditorium in Columbus, Nebraska. The county voted nearly 3-to-1 for Trump, according to the AP.
“What makes you think that [Musk] has no conflict of interest?” one member of the audience demanded, to cheers. “Do you think he would cut [those interests] before he would cut our Medicare or our Social Security or our jobs?”
