GOP caved on Trump's 'big, beautiful bill'--and voters are big mad

Forget Elon Musk—congressional Republicans are facing new fury from voters, this time for voting in support of President Donald Trump’s "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act,” which proposes slashes the social safety net to pay for tax cuts for the rich.

Two Republicans brave enough to hold town halls—Reps. Mike Flood of Nebraska and Ashley Hinson of Iowa—were both met by angry voters who questioned their support for a bill that would strip away health insurance, food aid, and more from millions of Americans.

Hinson was booed by the audience in her deeply Republican district after she said that she was "proud" to vote for the bill.

"This is a generational investment …” Hinson said, trailing off as the boos drowned her out.

learning that their politicians BS. is just that BS. They are seeing that once elected they care nothing anbout what the voters actually want. They have returned home and blamed anything bad from their policies on the Democrats. In this period of time with Trump all things that Republicans are doing is actually affecting the voters in almost real time and they can't BS. their way out of it .
