Mike Johnson claims ‘paid protesters’ are disrupting GOP town halls then backtracks when asked for proof
"House Speaker Mike Johnson baselessly claimed that the angry constituents raging at GOP lawmakers in town halls over DOGE’s drastic cuts and layoffs were “paid protesters,” only to backtrack when CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins pressed him for evidence.
With “first buddy” Elon Musk overseeing the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle federal agencies and fire thousands of government workers, House Republicans have been getting an earful from hometown voters. While some constituents have complained about Musk and his “chainsaw” approach to “government efficiency” or Trump’s radical attempts to seize more power from Congress, others have expressed anxiety over potential spending cuts to Medicaid and Medicare.
With the town hall confrontations going viral and creating a rash of negative headlines for the GOP, party leaders have since urged lawmakers to just skip the meetings altogether. “Obviously we’re very aware of those headlines,” a Republican National Committee official told NBC News."
