As the main legislative package of Elon Musk’s Republicans this week, two Republicans of the House of Representatives obtained an ear of the constituents at home in the “great and beautiful bill.”
Representative Mike Flood, R-Neb., He was shouted and booed in Seward, Nebraska, where hundreds of people attended his town hall.
“When you start obtaining 300 to 400 people and most of them are unhappy, that should start sending a message,” said Assistant Don Hutchinson to Klkn.

Representative Ashley Hinson, Republican of Iowa, also faced a noisy crowd in a town hall in Decorah, Iowa, while praising President Donald Trump and Bill’s approval in the Chamber.
“I was also proud to vote for the great and beautiful bill of President Trump last week. This is a generational investment,” said Hinson, strong boos of the crowd.
“This is your time,” Hinson told the crowd. “So I am here to clarify a lot of wrong information that exists because this bill is about ensuring our borders. This bill is about providing a continuous fiscal breakdown for Americans who work and return our country to prosperity.
“So in a nutshell, anyone who voted not about this bill also voted to allow their taxes to rise,” he added.

The crowd mocked and shouted: “No!”
“I don’t know why you booed you,” Hinson told the crowd. “I think it is really important that you can keep more from your own money. So, my philosophy is and has always been your money. It is not government money.”
Flood was criticized for Medicaid’s provisions in the bill, which was approved by the Chamber last week, but that the Senate could still alter.
Medicaid changes in the bill would translate at $ 700 billion in a reduced expense through new eligibility and work requirements that could force millions of people to the program, according to the preliminary analysis of the Congress Budget Office.

Hinson was also pressed by a constituent who had a disability about whether he could lose coverage under the bill.
“It’s fine, then you are disabled. Whatever medically fragile is explicitly exempt in our legislation,” Hinson replied. “That is, that is you. The caregivers of those who are deactivated are also exempt from that work requirement.”
Flood and Hinson admitted that there were provisions in the bill that did not support completely, and Flood was booed when he said he did not know that the bill contained a language that would make it difficult for the judges to have parties in contempt of court.
Democrats say that language could protect Trump administration officials from the consequences if they challenge the orders of the Court.
“I’m not going to hide the truth,” said Flood. “This provision was unknown to me when I voted for that bill, and when I discovered that the provision was in the bill, I immediately contacted my Senate counterparts and told them my concern.”

Hinson also revealed his dissatisfaction with some components of the bill, including the state and local fiscal deduction limit, or salt, increases.
Flood also said that he does not believe that the Trump administration can suspend habeas corpus when it was pressed not to do enough to verify the actions of the White House.
“A spine grows and speaks!” An assistant shouted.
The crowd in Iowa became strident when cuts from the Efficiency Department of the Musk Government arose. However, Hinson said he “received overwhelmingly positive comments” about Dege’s work.
“All my philosophy is the intention behind that is that we have to reduce waste, fraud and abuse so that we can maintain key programs and investments that Iowa and Americans care about them,” said Hinson despite being drowned by the audience.
