'You're an embarrassment. You should resign': Furious Michigan voters tear into freshman Republican Rep. Peter Meijer for voting to impeach Trump during Zoom town hall
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 6 2021

Dozens of angry voters have accused freshman Michigan Republican Peter Meijers of 'betraying' them during a heated, virtual town hall on Zoom in which the first-time legislator repeatedly defended his decision to impeach former President Trump.

The 33-year-old congressman, who represents the third district in western Michigan, was one of just ten Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the deadly attack on the Capitol and the only first time legislator to do so.

On Wednesday the Iraq war veteran, who is also an heir to the multibillion-dollar Midwestern supermarket chain that bears his family name, held an hour-long public forum in front of 400 constituents, moderated by district director Rick Treur, that was streamed live on Facebook.

The duplicitous punk’s political career is over just after it started. Good! We need more of this accountability!

In my general experience, the foreign media does a far better job of covering “news” in the world of American politics.

IIRC there is a freshman congresswoman from Staten Island who ran as a MAGA candidate—and also voted for impeachment.

It appears that this guy is loaded, so why does he want to be in politics? From his impeachment vote, it’s clear that he isn’t there to do his patriotic duty, it must be the money. But the salary is pocket change to him, so it must the the side money he’s after.

I live just outside Young Kim’s district. I contacted her office to let them know I will contribute to her democrat challenger if she isn’t primary’d out. Hopefully I can make it so that contribution shows up with her name on it.

“In January 2021, Malliotakis was appointed as the Assistant Minority Whip for the Republican Conference.[38] On February 4, 2021, she joined 10 other Republican House members voting with all voting Democrats to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her House Education and Labor Committee, and House Budget Committee assignments in response to controversial political statements she had made.[39]”

“On January 13, she voted against Trump’s second impeachment over his role in inciting the 2021 storming of the U.S. Capitol.[57]”

However:

“On Thursday night, Ms. Malliotakis was one of 11 House Republicans who voted to strip Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee assignments”

Toss her on the scrap heap of Herstory.

The thing that these republicans don't understand is that Trump did actually get almost 80 million votes - and that his voters were wildly enthusiastic. Xao Bai-Din and The Hoor might have gotten 65 million votes - and the voter enthusiasm was like a bucket of warm spit.

That's what this blowback is all about.

These republiclowns believe the lying Media about the stolen "election".
