On Monday, the actor Doug Lamalfa of California became the latest Republican to face angry components, in a personal municipal hall in Chico.
Many Republicans have not made such events for several months – GOP leaders advised legislators to avoid them earlier this year – so that a handful decided to break the siege in recent weeks that could carry fierce confrontations with their components.
But Lamalfa did not appear in Chico in a personal municipal hall much longer than that: before Monday, It is said that it was Eight years after the city, Katie Holie, a member of the Chico Cato Holie City Council early in this event. At that point, the audience had already been subjected to La Malfa, including shouts “No fascism in America!” And “You need isolation!”
“If the Chico City Council is a general event only once every eight years, I think we will have a room like this exactly.” “Whenever you appear often and you have municipal halls like this, I think that the more difficult it is to facilitate conversations,” she added.
Throughout this event, he faced loud loud lobes, as well as difficult questions and criticism.
One of the residents, who knew himself as the son of the survivors of the Holocaust, said: “The people who are kidnapped without arresting arrest orders, without trial, without asylum, by the head of the ice armies in the United States is clear evidence of how the fascist and authoritarian government works. We are not heading towards an authoritarian fascist government; we are already there.”
Another resident called on Trump’s spending plan (“One, Bell Jameel”) “Big Bullshit Bill”, and has been stuck by Lamalfa on their language. “Damn you!” Many attendees answered.
Many people have expressed their concerns about Snap and Medicaid discounts under the plan – noting that people in the region depend on these services “to help keep them alive.” Another common cause of concern is the Israeli war on Gaza, which has maintained a strong and supportive position of Israel.
Trump’s efforts to calm PBS and NPR also sparked anger. Lamalfa responded to one of these comments, “Well, people have many options to receive media”, just to meet the loud hurry.
Another resident expressed concern about the Trump tariff. “Article 1, Article 8 talks about the power of Congress to regulate foreign trade,” he said. “Nothing says about the president from one side that creates a tariff.”
Several attendees also recorded their concerns about public education during the Trump era. For his part, Lamalva suggested that the most urgent issue regarding public schools is that they need to “focus on what children really need”-what is called three R: reading, writing, and account-on “auxiliary things” such as “climate change” and “LGB”.
A particularly interesting question came to the end of the tail of the event, when one of the residents asked whether Lamalfa supports the Republican Party’s ongoing attempt by GerryMander Texas in order to tilt Congress in favor of his party. This step prompted the California Democrat It can It seems that death is for the political profession.
“Texas should not do that,” said La Mallafa. “California should not do this. This will start a fire throughout the country. Every state will try to change it based on a political result.”
