GOP reps just lost it. This is the personal way to know your constituents. You have to sell yourself to your people.
GOP reps just lost it. This is the personal way to know your constituents. You have to sell yourself to your people.
Dude, you are supposed to be listening to your constituents.
He thinks this is a dictatorship.
They don't see themselves in a serving role any longer. They see themselves as rulers over You, The People.
That’s a sure fire way to get your constituents to vote for you
So gerrymandered they don’t need their vote
lol
It worked for Trump!
Exactly!
Constituents don’t go to meetings with representatives to hear what the reps are doing. That’s online or should be. Constituents go so they can tell their government reps directly about their concerns and needs. Reps need to stop treating their constituents like plebes and more like their bosses.
I’ve been saying this over and over. Politicians work for the people they represent. They are employees of the taxpayers. They aren’t our rulers, they were elected to represent the needs of the electorate.
We should be their bosses. But we are not. Pretty clearly.
Gerrymandering is the original evil when it comes to electeds not worrying about being accountable to constituents.
This! Exactly this! His self-own aside, THIS is the correct message. 🎯
💯
🎯
Which they are! Bosses, that is.
Voters need to hold their employees accountable at the ballot box. 93 million absentee bosses.
Except #FascistGOP DOES NOT CARE. @gop is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of #DicktatorDonald
Yeah, there’s that “redress of grievances” thing in the First Amendment. But they’re using the Constitution as toilet paper, so why would they comply?
💯
Yes!
Yep
Representatives, of we the people is not an option. Usually representing the highest briber works for them. How do you think we got here?
Exactly. You don't make a dinner guest an audience.
Damn straight! They work for us, not Trump
Their voters never held them accountable, so they don't respect or care about them.
💯💯
Here is US Representative Mark Alford posting today that he doesn’t agree with his constituents holding a NO KINGS poster.
How not to win votes!!!
WOW!! So he wants to come there and spew lies, but if their constituents want to come and get answers from their representative they have to set there in silence and listen to garbage and lies....bulls@#$ I'm gonna speak my mind and let them know HOW WE FEEL....
The moral bankruptcy of the Republican/MAGA Party writ large. This dude has no shame. Throw the bum out!
Slip slip of the tongue that is the literal truth.
OK, because sidestepping the obvious humor, they wanted you to hear what they had to say, Nimrod.
They were elected to work for us.
Why ever vote for him.
😳
They came there knowing you were going to lie but they wanted to tell you to your face that you're a fucking liar.
Your constituent wants YOU to listen, Mark Alfraud.
Sometimes the truth just slips out!
🙄
assholio all right?
He’s got it twisted. He’s supposed to be listening to his constituents, not talking at them.
Hold them accountable enough and the truth slips out....
That was worth the visit, sir. You just admitted you lie and no one should listen to you.
Because we want you to hear how pissed we are and that we KNOW you’re lying. How else will you know since you keep your head up Trumps ass.
Maybe the reason people show up is so the politicians can hear directly from them.
Missouri is the show me State, you have shown us, how not to vote for decent human beings.
This stupid fuck...you're there to listen to the people.
When Paul Ryan was representing WI-CD01 he would have "listening sessions" where attendees could make a 30 sec comment or ask a question. Then, Ryan would talk for 5 min on what he was doing. His quashed attendee input and forced everyone to listen to him whine about rich people paying too much tax.
uhhmmm.. to tell you to STOP telling those lies.. uuuhhmmmm. to tell you that you work for us -- not the pedophile
Hey - can I get a link to the original video clip? I can f*ck with this, if I know were to rip it from.
youtu.be/Eee4OPsln8c?...
The Republican motto
He's gotta point
I mean, they’re not even pretending anymore, the hubris is astonishing.
“ to take your temperature… now bend over!”
Aren’t these guys supposed to listen to the constituents instead of talking at them?
www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
They don't even cover it up at this point anymore
"It's rude to interrupt my endless stream of bullshit!"
Never heard that tactic before … A Republican openly admitting he lies 🤔
Oops. Telling the truth for a change.
#MarkAlford, if you didn't want to hear your constituent's concerns, why did you come here ?!?
First true statement from a Republican in a very long time!
Missouri is the "Show Me" state I bet Missouri will be showing Mark Alford out of office next year
Need more competition in Missouri. GOP state for 20 years
Oh my Those GOP Freudian slips Just priceless
"If you didn't want to hear my LIES, why did you come here?" you are a tad exposed here brah,. . lies lies and damn lies.
Lmao. He didn’t even try to cover with air quotes 😂😂
Exactly!
Not even hiding it anymore... Not listening, but will maybe want your vote... If it's allowed by then
Just like Trump at a rally in Las Vegas: “I don’t care about you; I just want your vote.”
Sounds like me when I ask for tuna. I don't really care about your day, just open that can.
Just like me with a laser pointer—I don't want the dot, just the thrill of the chase before my nap.
That might be the most truthful thing he’s ever said.
To make sure when they vote you out at mid-terms you will not forget.
They lie as they breathe.
Mark: if you didn’t want to hear my lies, why did you come here? How fucking stupid are you Mark? They didn’t go there to hear your fucking lies.
Missourians are used to his lies and came to see him to call him out and hold him accountable.
Wow, a Republican Lawmaker who said the silent part aloud.
Bring rocks next time…
GOP reps covered in cold cuts would be funny for sure…
📌
Maybe to change his mind about lying to them?
Stupid is as stupid does!
He just admitted that he’s lying
Those GOP Freudian slips 🤣🤣🤣
When they meant to ask, "Please pass the salt," but say, aloud, "I'll ruin your life, you fking bish."
Woman to her bestie "I made the most terrible Freudian slip with my husband this morning. I meant to say, pass the toast darling, instead I said, you've destroyed my life you bastard."
Damn, that turned hostile quickly
🤣🤣🤣
Lying is mandatory, when corrupt.
They always say the quiet part out loud 😬
As fucked up as that sounds, he's got a point. It's a fucked up political world when the representative is more afraid of "da' boss" than his angry voting constituents. But that's where we are. FFS
"If you don't want to hear my lies" you got it right the first time & they rest their case.
Wow. He’ll regret those words by next year.
So, he's admitting that he's telling lies. That's interesting!
Answer: To force you to admit what you just said mission accomplished
I love it when they say it out loud.
Someone should have said that he's there to listen to THEM
Projection is confession…or …confession is confession.
Lookit that?!? His office takes voicemails after hours... 🤷♀️ You know what to do. #GoodTrouble #UseYourVoice #OnlyPedosProtectPedos #Resist #Revolt
A better question is, why did they elect him?
Now that's rich!! 😂
You have to hear his lies..... he hasn't gaslit or ignored you enough.
Then why don't you stop lying?
It’s called push back so we can stop your lies. How difficult is that Mark?? Clueless 💩
#ETTD
Very Freudian.
At least he's honest about lying.,,🤪
Damn, dude. He just said that didn’t he. Guess trump skull fucked the brain right out of that head
The man has clearly lost sight of who is working for who.
They all think they work for Trump.
And they are working, just for the pedophile traitor in chief.
That’s THE definition of a Freudian slip right there 🤣
Why do they hold these town hells?
Because they live in a delusion that We The People like their shit policy.
1st amendment right to ‘dress down your elected officials’. They are displeased with you.
To see if you were even capable of telling the truth when confronted. Guess what, cretin? You weren’t.
They came to call out your lies. Vote them out.
“he tells it like it is”
I bet he claims to be a good Christian who follows all the commandments!🙄
Idiot
Thanks for admitting what we knew to be true.
When a politician says that, just say “thank you” and sit down.
📌
If you didn’t want to represent us why did you run
Act alive people. WeThePeople are better than this, what this fuck, 4T+ are doing to WeThePeople is wrong. Tell him to get the fuck out and prepare for trial for treason.
Did he really say this?
oops. Alford is now Leffed.
I wonder if him listening to them has occurred to him.
Oops
It’s amazing to me how nasty and condescending these so called representatives are to their constituents. They could care less about any of them and treat them like sh!t. And somehow they keep voting them in office. I don’t get it. 🤬🤬🤬
Republicans all seem to think that their constituents work for them and they treat them all as if they are their employer and everyone needs to listen to them and do what they say. Stop voting for republicans!
Absolutely delicious!
The ads write themselves
bsky.app/profile/slap...
When the truth about his lies comes out of his own mouth. 🗣️
He should have been hit with a barrage of shoes
Freudian slip 😂😂
Are you sure He doesn’t look like he’s the brains of the operation I mean let’s face it , you can be the most ignorant person on the planet and maga voters will still vote for them , as long as they are maga Why do you think Lauren Bimboebert is a thing It’s a cult
Freudian thong!
He only wears a slip at weekends. 😁
The silent part OUT LOUD.
He's from TX, a state of shithead and cow patties. What would one expect from a Texan but a liar and a coward, with his 'head up Trump's arse.'
Sigmund Freud adds yet another to the list.
What an ignorant comment. A-hole alert. You are speaking to your constituents, not your kids. Which, BTW, would be shitty parenting, too. Your family must love you, Alford.
What?
The disdain these idiots hold for their constituents just oozes out of them. They all really think they represent their big donors only and voters are an annoying rabble.
It's an oligarchy, not a democracy... These are the bastards that planned it that way
Unfortunately in Pennsylvania, they keep putting them in office.
In Florida too. 😡
👺👹 Poop
Well a simple answer: "We assumed our representative would NOT lie to us!"
Well, there you go, he just said it he lies. Just like the current administration he's not doing for his constituents, he's just being a sheep. And he's right, why go to a town hall when you know he lies and doesn't support all of you? What you should do is vote him out when the opportunity arises.
Arrogant a$$
Good question. 🤔
Just saying the quiet part out loud now that they feel safe enough to do so.
He’s SO STUPID ~ he actually ADMITS HES LYING TO HIS CONSTITUENTS! Apparently he wants only constituents who LOVE to be LIED to by HIM attending his Town Halls!
So they don't even care that they're lying.
Dude just told on himself... And does not care. This tells you they are rigging 2026 midterms
"To call your sorry, anti-American ass to account."
Because democracy dickhead
Uh, they came to a town hall meeting for *you* to listen to *their* concerns you dolt. These guys all jumped the shark a loooong time ago Irrelevant people, not even vaguely understanding their job
Well that's a commercial. Lol
@dontgetmadgeteven.bsky.social @demgovs.org @maddow.msnbc.com
This mans a LEGEND! I am pissed and I am pissed at you,” Fred Higginbotham, a resident of Bolivar, said to Alford. “Get Trump out of office. The man is a dictator. He knows nothing about what he talks about.” “You need to take your head out of Trump’s a** and start doing your representation of us,”
A hero💙
Higginbotham said to a round of applause from the crowd.
I mean, this is great. But you’re only realising it now? Trump is the man that sells fake snake oil to the snake oil salesperson.
No, i knew like 2015-2016. The US could have known before that. IDK. I am devastated that the US let the MF run 3 times.
100% agreed and well said. 👍
It really makes no sense. These people were elected to represent US citizens, but they are manipulating their districts' way of thinking. It's ok to want what Krasnov wants. That's why im convinced that the whole Republican party is Krasnov's propagandists. They are trying to influence people
They really dont! The US is seeing when somethings over looked, thinking it'll just go away. it's NOT. IT DOESNT!!!!
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! MAGA Congressman Mark Alford is a PROUD Liar and tells everybody so!
“Why did you came here?” Also means: “I don’t have any obligation to listen to you.”
I analyze that to also mean "Why am *I* here? This job is free money with bonus money. Money. Money is why I'm here. Look at all of these money sources!" blech I feel dirty just trying to think like that.
Freudian slip🤪
What a disrespectful piece of shit
*huff* "We all die." Remember her? Let's work our way through both sides and intensely investigate and interrogate to find one that isn't a POS and really cares. I tend to find the people that educate themselves, listen, learn, change positions, care, and work hard NEVER want to get into politics.
This man is an ass. Proves it over and over.
I know he thinks he’s being sarcastic here but that statement was not built for the age of sound bites.
100% a russian backed asset.
Obviously he is not speaking to his constituents. He is delivering the messages of his constituents to the voters in his district.
He said the quiet part out loud.
That’s a great question but the even better one is, “If you didn’t want to hear my lies, why did you vote for me?”
To let him know that they know he's a liar. 😃
Well at least he self owned! 🤣🤣🤣
"because its your job to listen to us. You seem to have forgotten that"
Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee US citizens! You are enabling Trump and his minions to steal and subvert your freedom, your rights, your health, your family, your safety and your intelligence!
I think he's forgotten who he works for. They came there to fire his ass.
Eh, what?
Vote these MFers out. They need consequences!!
My jaw dropped.
Great self own
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast??
Sometimes Operation Them Speak works pretty well 😉
This Freudian slip is an extra large
Sums up this entire administration
Oops. Let that one slip right out
Why aren't republicans getting shot. Leave the kids alone
Totally
Spot on cobber! Great solution to their gun obsession.
WHOA! I've seen some massive slip ups but this one takes the cake so far.
Good point. Bye bye.
This guy is INCREDIBLY stupid and Waaaay to comfortable in his position.
Mark "The Truth" Alford 🤣
He thinks town halls are one-way affairs, it seems. Guess not.
www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Maybe someone at Lumon put him in overtime mode.
Touché, I guess?
These fking Conservative men are all the same. I'm not so sure violence isn't the answer, possibly the only answer with these morons! I beat the crap out of anyone that bullied me growing up and they stopped, even showed fear after😜
I can see why Republicans are doing everything in their power to rig the midterms. If there are fair elections the Republicans are getting steamrolled. Voting for that big shitty bill should be a career ender for any rep who voted for it.
He just validated their stupidity.
✋ oh, oh me. To express my first amendment right to my elected representative and if you don’t listen to us, WE WILL VOTE YOU OUT. Did I get that right?
Cause they want to question your lies idiot
Nothing like insulting your constituents and calling them stupid.
oops
They didn’t come to listen to you jackass, you have forgotten that your constituents are who you work for. You came there to listen to THEM!
Fucking turd!
"Why did you come here?" What an insipid dweeb.
Well at least he admits he’s lying
The great state of Misery.
Asshole is finally honest.
Someone from the party of truth finally telling the truth.
Well, tbh, until these GOP dirtbags start suffering major political losses at the polls, why would they give a shit what they say. There's obviously no bottom for how low these clowns will go, and, yet, they still get re-elected. #ImbecileNation 🤡
#GameShowRepublic
This attitude comes from being gerrymandered into a safe district. He knows he’ll never lose, no matter how big an asshole he is.
Alford.. Yeah, I'm lying, so what... I don't know, maybe the loss of your job, and good luck getting another one, cause you just admitted to being a liar.
So the new MAGA strategy is to attack and demean their own constituents? I saw Sen. Susan Collins and another Rep. insult their voters as well. Good fucking luck with that.
They generally follow up the insults later with saying those people complaining at the town halls were all "outside Dem agitators bused in by George Soros" or such rot. It's never disgruntled Rs, who are loyalists to the core, according to the politicians.
Yeah, that's a real popular line of defense 'cos it plays well with Trump. But as soon as they hand the mic to an angry voter this lie evaporates. Their statements generally go like "I voted for you. Nothing that was promised is happening and things are getting worse. Why are you doing this to us?"
Taking a moral high ground is endemic to Project 2025. Anyone who disagrees with the ‘agenda’ is fiercely othered as morally inferior. Some will run to catch up. Note in general the inability to rile up anyone operating performatively from talking points. They’re automatons. Like Leavitt. haunting
Another theory why so many Trump underlings seem like low-affect automatons: They're on drugs. It has to be intensely stressful to work for that demented old crank, and they KNOW what they're doing is unpopular. Not all, tho: Natural sociopaths like Miller an Homan seem to be enjoying the gig
The problem is these GOP pols have to go home and polish the biggest, most wildly unpopular turd in political history. Results vary: some go full MAGA, straight up-lie and insult their voters when they get called out. Some avoid saying anything. Some hide and stop having town halls, period.
Collins and all the rest of them have suffered NO CONSEQUENCES so far. Why should they think this has changed? IT HASN'T.
We're in a holding pattern for actual consequences until the mid-terms-- unless something truly unusual happens before, like Trump joining the choir invisible, either up there or down below.
I dunno. Calling your constituents idiots does not seem like a wise choice for political longevity. The effects won’t show up immediately, but it will soon enough.
Do you think their arrogance and complete disregard for their constituents is because they know there’s never going to be another election and their survival in politics depends on keeping donpedo and his handlers happy
There will be elections. But it’s been proven that the 25 percent who are hardcore MAGA can hold the rest of us hostage indefinitely. That’s the audience they need to play to.
There will be an election in 2026, but if Trump gets his way it will be a Russian-style election: Big fish (President and governors) protected, the little fish (representatives and senators) left to fend for themselves. Those GOP pols are being a-holes to their voters out of frustration and fear.
If only anyone in the GOP felt even a fraction of the frustration and fear I feel.
This type of stuff isn't new. It's been going on for ages. The cult refuses to actually believe that they mean exactly what they say. They make excuses for everything (that's not what they meant-or some other ridiculous excuse) these people cannot be reached.
That would be nice but just doesn’t bear out. The district who trump and Vance said was eating cats and dogs voted for them
When the constituents keep voting for clowns like Alford, he's absolutely correct. Missouri re-elected a cowardly shit eating dweeb like Josh Hawley. We deserve what we're getting here.
In California I have a clown just like the clown Alford, he has orange around his lips.
Then you KNOW what you need to do in November. Vote yes to resdistrict Cali
Funny thing, just received we need to vote, no on resistrictong. Think Putin sent it./ s
“Da, do patriotic duty and give vote to comrade trumpy!” lol
Exactly what this is saying. Gerrymandering is wrong, unless Trump does it in red states.
💧 we are better than this. Vote them all out before we loose our right to vote. Just 430 days away. Save US.
Go to your polls and VOTE in 430 days. Send all these A$$hol3$ packing.
That Bobblehead has nothing left to serve for, but self-interest. Shes not only heartless, but she's also soul-less too. I still remember after Trump's 1st Impeachment, she said "I'm sure Trump learned his lesson and he will never do it again." My, what a few years makes...
She's certainly feckless, that's for sure. She manages to grab the attention of the MSM occasionally by not sounding like a MAGA cultist. But as they say: "don't pay attention to what people SAY, but what they DO." She talks a good game, but always votes to let Trump have his way.
Well, they’re all gonna die anyway…
She joined a long list of entitled Republicans. First one who comes to mind is Joni "we are all going to die" Ernst.
Maybe they know they won’t have to get real votes in the next ‘election’ to stay in office? Or maybe they know the only votes that will be counted are the ones *for* them.
They’ll still vote for them as long as there is a R behind their name on the ballot. 🤷♀️
Was it Joni Ernst that told her constituents, "We are all going to die" over cuts to Medicare/Medicaid? FFS.
And yet the majority of votes counted will be for him and the other nazis, especially when you don't count any other votes
😳. They can’t get a budget passed, public transit shutting down services etc. I live in Pennsylvania and I’ve heard they won’t pass anything to make Shapiro look bad since he’s up for re-election next year.
Oops, thought he was state representative not a congressman.☹️
many republicans have that pedophile look
Take note of what states sent troops to Washington. Those are the ones with a senator in the files.
Hey Mark! No one came for a speech. They came to express to the guy THEY chose to represent THEM how THEY feel about the job THEY PAY YOU FOR is going. It's called dialog. Speaking AND listening by BOTH parties. #DumbAss
Republicans don’t give a rats ass about anyone or anything. They are nothing more than a street gang who are anti-America
Another GOP low life
They at least got their Rep to come out of hiding, meanwhile here in NJ…
So, you're saying... you have nothing but lies to tell? Constituents are your bosses, they're allowed to air their grievances about your job, publicly! If you didn't want to hear grievances, why did you become a politician?
Probably the first time he’s ever told the truth
Dude needs to be voted out.
The rubes that aren’t there will keep voting for him
What a douche!!
Then he says you didn’t want to hear anything I wanted to say as though to reiterate, he tells lies.😂😂😂
OMG! Truth from a Republican.
COTE HIM OUT he already told you his lying ATOP VOTING FOR THIS PEOPLE!!!
PUT THIS IN ALL OF THE ADS.
