Trump-supporting Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming once again found herself in the difficult position of having to defend the president’s most unpopular policies this week as she was confronted by disappointed constituents at a town hall event.
Hageman, Wyoming’s sole congressperson and a vocal Trump ally, hosted a town hall event on Monday in Casper, a city in central Wyoming.
During the event, one constituent approached the microphone and asked Hageman, “Who’s responsible for establishing tariffs in our country?”
Hageman tries to argue, saying, “I dispute that,” adding that “tariffs have raised over $150 billion.”
“Who pays for them? We pay for them,” the questioner responds. As Hageman tried to defend Trump’s tariffs by citing the fact that inflation has not increased, her response was drowned out by loud jeers and noises of dissatisfaction....and inflation has increased.
And then we have this in response to the folks at the town hall...
“I could also tell that there were probably professional agitators in that room, I could see how they behaved... that was just people coming in trying to disrupt the town hall, not for the sake of a dialogue, but that was just what they were doing,” she claimed.
Note the use of the word probably. It's always those danged paid protesters, it's never the fault of republicans policies negatively affecting their constituents.
