At a town hall meeting in Roswell, Georgia, Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) received intense backlash after discussing President Trump's influence. Questioned by attendee Virginia Lim about actions to control Trump, McCormick tried to deflect the criticism by comparing attendees to those from the January 6 Capitol riot. His comments were met with jeers and chants of 'Shame!' from the crowd, illustrating the deep divisions and discontent among constituents regarding Trump’s presidency and the perceived inaction by their elected officials.
When you talk about tyranny, when you talk about presidential power, I remember having the same discussion with Republicans when Biden was elected.
You're sitting here in your body, you would probably say those January 6ers who were yelling just as loud as you, who were upset just like you, and not listen.
So yelling, yelling at me is not going to get any answer, okay?
The people would like to know what you, Congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House.
