Rich McCormick was met with boos and jeers as "hundreds of critics" reportedly let him have it at the Georgia town hall event.

Summary

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) faced backlash at a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, over his support for Elon Musk and deep federal budget cuts.

Constituents jeered and booed as McCormick defended layoffs at the CDC, arguing AI makes some jobs redundant.

Attendees criticized the cuts as rushed and extreme, chanting “shame” and accusing him of harming local communities.

The heated event echoed past voter outrage at town halls, with some Republicans avoiding similar meetings after Trump’s first term began in 2017.

    The school lunch stuff fucks me up.

    I got booted from free lunch when my mom remarried and my step dad made too much. They didn’t want to pay for my lunch/buy food for me to pack, so I just didn’t eat. Sometimes I’d find some dimes in the vending machines and could get like a Vitamin water or something.

    Like yeah, my family could have afforded to pay, and they probably should have been made to pay, but if school is mandatory then feeding you should be too.

    I’d get dizzy and feel sick by the end of the day. I still struggle with disordered eating.

    Anyone against feeding children is a monster.
