Summary
Rep. Harriet Hageman faced loud boos at a Wyoming town hall after endorsing funding for Elon Musk’s DOGE cost-cutting initiative.
The crowd, mostly opposed to her stance, jeered as she laughed and clapped, labeling the audience’s reaction “embarrassing.”
Hageman defended Social Security funding despite concerns that Musk’s efficiency drive might cut it, calling it a “Ponzi scheme.”
The only bipartisan applause came when Hageman opposed closing rural mail distribution centers.
Maybe it was a “Let’s Go Brandon” moment and they were chanting “January Siths?”. Current administration does come across a bit…dark-side-y, to put it lightly…and the opposition isn’t that great at branding.
Musk and Trump have sort of an emporer/Vader dynamic. Hopefully one will find their humanity and kill the other before promptly dieing themselves. A man can dream.
