Look: I don’t like to go that strong on a hed, but this is a “representative” going off on a constituent for asking a basic question.

Let’s not mince words. I have decent gaydar from my time as a raver. I think she assessed the situation correctly, but the reaction was uncalled for. I hope she gets primaried to hell.

Because that’s where someone like this belongs.

      Mace just comes across as a cunt here. I know little about her, but this was unnecessary escalation. Being needlessly provocative is not a great look for a representative. What was that guy doing other than pointing out her inability to represent constituents?

      some reps are ejecting people for dissenting opinions

      And some are refusing to hold town halls. Which would explain why he “ambushed” her. Being fobbed off by her office doesn’t cut it, she needs to face the music. I understand his frustration and so should she.

      Here are about 15 examples of MTG ejecting dissenters, two of whom were tased.

      Here is the citizens grilling Senator Grassley about the abduction and deportation of the Venezuelans. I bet this guy doesn’t hold.any more town halls (Grassley is the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.)
