GOP Rep Mercilessly Booed At Town Hall While Defending Signature Trump Policy
Rep.
Mike Flood (R-Neb.) was greeted with a chorus of boos during a town hall event on Tuesday after defending President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”
Flood was asked what he planned to do about the legislation’s cuts to disability benefits.
Trump’s signature legislation slashed over $1 trillion over the next decade from Medicaid, the primary source of funding for those benefits.
Flood’s been heckled numerous times since last July over the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
“I’d ask you please not to refer to that monstrosity as the ‘big, beautiful bill,’” one voter requested, to loud cheers, at the event in Lincoln, Neb. that was aired live by PBS last August.
