MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow aired several clips of Republican lawmakers getting hounded for answers amid their support for Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency.”

DOGE has been firing scores of employees and freezing funding of certain programs at a slew of federal agencies, often in a haphazard fashion. Other employees have accepted DOGE’s offer of “deferred resignation.” On multiple occasions, DOGE has fired and attempted to rehire employees in crucial departments after realizing those laid off were responsible for nuclear security or tasked with fighting the country’s bird flu epidemic, for example. While it’s unclear how many have been laid off or resigned, the number is well into the tens of thousands and likely over 100,000.

This week, several House Republicans held town halls with constituents who gave them the business in scenes Maddow was all too happy to show on Friday night:

Town Hall with Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA)

ATTENDEE: Nuclear workers of the NNSA nuclear stockpile and CDC workers working on the bird flu being fired by DOGE and then having to be rehired when someone realizes, “Oh, gosh, we need those people.” Why is this supposedly conservative party taking such a radical and extremist and sloppy approach to this?

[CHEERS]

MCCORMICK: You have to do more with less in order to survive…

ATTENDEE: I understand trying to do more with less. That’s reasonable. What’s not reasonable is taking this chainsaw approach, which they obviously admit when they fired these people and decided, “Oh, we fired the wrong people. We got to bring them back in.” Why is this being jammed down the pipe so rushed and sloppily?

[CHEERS]

2. Funny how they know the job, "You are supposed to check the President, not the people!"

And should the corrupt ones hear that Musk was NOT born in the USA and has NO business telling Trump what to do?

4. That idiot Grothman

"He's ended birthright citizenship".
Really? He amended the Constitution all by himself?

5. This is a power we do have. Telephone, email, and show up at town hall meetings.

Put pressure on your Senators and Rep, asking them to defend what’s going on. Write Letters to the Editor of your local newspaper

6. It's long past time...

... to tear these smug bastards a new one. But, being sociopaths, exhibiting anything like shame is beyond their comprehension. But being called out in public for their malice and mendacity has got to sting. I just hope there were plenty of former Republicans that have seen the light.

7. They are too lazy to do their jobs

They deserve the boos.

8. But those same voters will keep voting for them.

I mean, not that we're likely to have elections again; but just sayin'. Americans can always be counted on to vote against their interests. If that weren't the case, the GOP would be fighting to get on the ballot state-by-state like the Greens..

10. Why is it being jammed down our throats? Because the MAGA cult insisted it be

jammed down our throats.
