Representative Mike Flood, Republican from Neb., Celebrated a City Council on Monday that began with Boos shortly after taking the stage and ending with “vote” songs when he finished.
In the middle, Flood was constantly when he answered the questions about the release of more information about Jeffrey Epstein, the dismissal of President Donald Trump of the commissioner of the Office of Labor Statistics and cuts Medicaid in the “great bill” of the Republican Party “.

The members of the audience began shouting at the flood and booing it when he talked about Medicaid and the impact of Trump’s wide internal policy law on Nebraska hospitals. Flood argued that there is “a lot of wrong information” about the “Big Beaut Big Big Draft Law”, that no Democrat voted when he made his way in Congress this summer.
He later faced a question that he suggested that he was covering files related to Epstein. Flood replied that he supports the release of the archives and that he will coperocinar a resolution of the house that is not binding that asks for its publication.
He added that he supports an effort directed by the president of the Chamber’s Supervision Committee, James Eat, R-Ky., For Epstein Ghislaine Maxwell, he sits for a statement.
Eating last week postponed the deposition of Maxwell, previously scheduled for August 11, until at least October to let the Supreme Court decide at the end of September if it will review its case.
Flood also intervened in the dismissal of the BLS chief, Erika Mtntarfer, whom Trump ruled out on Friday shortly after the agency published figures that showed that hiring in the United States had decreased significantly in recent months. Flaod suggested that he could have handled the situation differently, adding that he does not know “all the details” about Mtntarfer’s shot.
“I don’t know what the situation was with the Laboration Department either. I don’t know. I don’t know,” said Flood. “I can tell him that I have been an employer for many years, and there are always two sides in each story, and I don’t know what that side was. However, I will say this, if everything he did was get the data, if all that, and I do not know that that is the case, but if that were all that they did, I would not have dismissed it.”
Several Republican senators, as well as economists and statisticals, discouraged with the termination of Trump’s termination last week.
The members of the audience shouted, made fun and booed throughout the event, with songs of “Palestine Free” and “tax the rich” and, during the conclusion of the City Council, call “vote”. When Flood tried to interact with the members of the audience on these issues, he found himself largely with more protests.
Attendees asked at least three different questions about the Department of National Security and Immigration and Customs Control, specifically about the “Alcatraz Aligator” of Florida, which a person called “Aligator Auschwitz”.
Investigating the Immigration Detention Center in Florida, an assistant asked Flood: “How much do taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?” Flaod replied that most Americans voted for Trump and not by the nominated Democrat Kamala Harris.
“The Americans voted for A, for a border that is safe, and I support the president who enforces our immigration laws, which, by the way, were written by Congress,” he added, which caused more boos.
The Democratic Party of Nebraska encouraged people to attend the City of Flood, telling voters in the first district of Congress in social networks: “You know what to do!”
The party also encouraged attendance at the last City Council in the person of Flood in the state, in May, when the members of the audience interrogated him and at one point he admitted that he had not read a bill as a whole before voting for it.
Flaod was first chosen to Congress in 2022. He won re -election last year with 60% of the votes.
