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.
I never said they did (or didn’t)? Clearly they are attempting to now, but my comment was not really about doge in specific. I said that needing funding is not inherently antithetical to a cost cutting department, and that it’s not really a valid reason to take issue with a department. I also said more than once that I don’t like/support doge.
Not sure if it’s a reading comprehension issue, or people are on edge because literal fascist are coming out from the woodwork, but not every comment against Doge/Trump/Elon is valid (most are) and not every comment pointing that out is inherently fascist.
