GOP Lawmaker Weirdly Claps For Herself While Crowd Boos Her For Supporting Musk
HuffPost
“Deport Elon! Deport Elon!” people at a Laramie, Wyoming, town hall event chanted as Republican Rep. Harriet Hageman tried to speak.
You could say a certain Republican lawmaker ended up with egg on her face — at least in the metaphorical sense, because no one can afford actual eggs nowadays.
On Wednesday, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) spoke at a town hall in Laramie, Wyoming, to a crowd of mostly very angry constituents. Hageman was booed numerous times throughout the event, and the crowd got particularly incensed whenever the congresswoman spoke of her support for billionaire Elon Musk.
One of the more humorous — and unsettling — instances was captured in a clip aired on MSNBC, in which Hageman told the crowd that she had voted to pass a funding bill “that keeps the lights on for President Trump and DOGE to continue their work.”
The majority of the crowd jeered loudly in response, prompting Hageman to enthusiastically clap for herself amid the chorus of boos.
This clip is only slightly funnier than another clip MSNBC aired of Hageman describing the town hall as an opportunity to update her constituents on what she’s been up to in Washington, only to have a heckler respond: “Nothing!”
