GOP lawmaker confronted at town hall says protesters' response to $36T national debt 'not right'
Fox News
House Republican Rep. Mike Flood held a town hall in Nebraska where people protested Elon Musk and DOGE.
"What I asked people to do is think about our debt, not as a red or blue issue, it's an American issue. It's going to take all of us to solve it. And what I said last night is we need to balance the budget. I was booed. That is not the right response." Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital leading coverage of the House of Representatives. Previous digital bylines seen at Daily Mail and CBS News.
Flood illustrated his focus on the national debt, which is over $36 trillion, with a massive graphic that hung above him in a Columbus, Nebraska, high school auditorium for most of the town hall. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
