The article discusses the backlash House Republicans are facing due to the controversial DOGE token. Angry constituents protested at town halls, prompting critical reflections from several representatives, including Rich McCormick and Ryan Zinke. Some Republicans attributed the protests to liberal activists, but many acknowledged the weight of constituents' concerns reminiscent of past political upheavals. The need for sensitivity and compassion towards those affected by job losses was a prevailing theme, with lawmakers calling for tighter messaging and understanding of the situation for constituents.
When you have a lot of people who are scared and a lot of people who are angry, of course you should take it seriously," said Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) on the backlash regarding DOGE.
It would be more helpful if some of those DOGE folks showed more sensitivity to the people who are being terminated... who didn't do anything wrong," said an anonymous House Republican.
