GOP Lawmaker Weirdly Claps For Herself While Crowd Boos Her For Supporting Musk | EUROtoday

You might say a sure Republican lawmaker ended up with egg on her face — not less than within the metaphorical sense, as a result of nobody can afford precise eggs these days.

On Wednesday, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) spoke at a city corridor in Laramie, Wyoming, to a crowd of largely very indignant constituents. Hageman was booed quite a few occasions all through the occasion, and the group received notably incensed at any time when the congresswoman spoke of her help for billionaire Elon Musk.

One of the extra humorous — and unsettling — situations was captured in a clip aired on MSNBC, by which Hageman informed the group that she had voted to move a funding invoice “that keeps the lights on for President Trump and DOGE to continue their work.”

The majority of the group jeered loudly in response, prompting Hageman to enthusiastically clap for herself amid the refrain of boos.

This clip is just barely funnier than one other clip MSNBC aired of Hageman describing the city corridor as a chance to replace her constituents on what she’s been as much as in Washington, solely to have a heckler reply: “Nothing!”

Hageman introduced up Musk quite a few occasions all through her city corridor, to the viewers’s disdain. She insisted the unelected “special government employee” working the so-called Department of Government Efficiency — which has spearheaded the firing of hundreds of federal staffa few of whom have since wanted to be re-hired — is doing an awesome job.

Other clips shared on X, previously Twitter, of Hageman’s city corridor present the group chanting “Deport Elon! Depart Elon!” as she waves off the boos as “hysteria” and tells viewers members they’re “going to have a heart attack if you don’t calm down.”

At one level, a former federal worker who misplaced their job in Musk’s mass layoffs confronted Hageman from the group and informed her Trump’s management would in the end “decimate Wyoming farms and rural communities” earlier than asking her what she was going to do about that.

Hageman didn’t reply, however merely mentioned: “I disagree.”
