Wyoming Rep. Harriet Hageman faced an angry crowd at a local town hall on Wednesday, March 19, marking one of several recent incidents where constituents have confronted Republican members of Congress about the Trump administration's aggressive actions.
Hageman who ousted incumbent Liz Cheney in a landslide victory in the 2022 election for the states only congressional district laughed aloud during the public event as a crowd of frustrated Wyomingites booed her praise for President Donald Trump and the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency.
I voted in favor of the continuing resolution, or CR, which extends funding for the fiscal year until September 30, Hageman said, prompting the booing to begin. It keeps the lights on for President Trump and DOGE to continue their work.
A local reporter with the Cowboy State Daily estimated that about three-quarters of the crowd of more than 500 attendees at the Laramie Plains Civic Center were there to protest Hageman.

Republicans don't want to represent you. They want to rule you.

'My way or the highway' is not compatible in a democracy and not all of us have accepted autocracy. GOP pols sniffing too much of their own propaganda are surprised so many people are sober.
