Summary

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) faced backlash at a town hall in Roswell, Georgia, over his support for Elon Musk and deep federal budget cuts.

Constituents jeered and booed as McCormick defended layoffs at the CDC, arguing AI makes some jobs redundant.

Attendees criticized the cuts as rushed and extreme, chanting “shame” and accusing him of harming local communities.

The heated event echoed past voter outrage at town halls, with some Republicans avoiding similar meetings after Trump’s first term began in 2017.
