At a Nebraska town hall, Representative Mike Flood faced backlash from constituents after expressing support for Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The crowd responded negatively, booing and jeering as Flood spoke about Musk's influence in government. Attendees voiced strong opinions against Musk's perceived unchecked power and criticized Flood's defense of his support for both Musk and Trump. Despite the hostile environment, Flood reiterated the importance of in-person town halls for democratic engagement and expressed his commitment to addressing constituents' concerns regarding Social Security and support for Ukraine.
"I support Elon Musk and DOGE," Flood said, responding to a question about the billionaire's influence and potential conflicts of interest. The statement was met with a roar of jeers."
"You talk about national security, yet you have done nothing to stop Elon Musk and his little band of tech geeks," the voter said, emphasizing the concern over Musk's influence.
