Tyranny is rising in the White House, and a man has declared himself our king, a voter tells Georgia Rep. Rich McCormick in a now-viral video uploaded by CNN. So I would like to know, rather, the people would like to know, what you, congressman, and your fellow congressmen are going to do to rein in the megalomaniac in the White House. @cnn Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) faced angry voters in Roswell, Georgia, who were upset about President Trump attempting to expand his own power using executive orders. #cnn #news #politics original sound CNN The video has racked up over 3 million views and sparked a viral trend on TikTok, where users lip-sync along to the womans impassioned question.

That congressman is in TROUBLE.McCormick is far from alone. Across the country, Republican lawmakers are facing increasingly intense confrontations at town hallsoften from constituents who identify as Republicans themselves. Some officials have even been booed out of their own events.Thanks to social media, these fiery exchanges are no longer confined to local community centerstheyre being broadcast to millions. The Verge spoke with Lindsay DeFranco, a first-time attendee who took it upon herself to document one such town hall. Her footagefrom a debate over school lunches for low-income children (1 million views) to a discussion on female voter suppression (6.1 million views)has reached far beyond the room. @linzdefranco My friend, a dietitian, asked Representative McCormick about his children should work for lunch comment at his town hall. #richmccormicktownhall #ga7 original sound LinzDefranco I really wanted people to see this is exactly what was asked, this is exactly what was said, and this is how people reacted, DeFranco told The Verge. They had told us that it wasnt going to be live streamed. So I thought, I have to film this right away. I have to document this.In response, Republicansincluding former President Donald Trumphave falsely claimed that paid protestors are behind the outbursts. Some GOP leaders have even suggested doing away with in-person events altogether to avoid scenes that could go viral.But in the age of smartphones and social media, theres really nowhere to hide.
