An angry constituent has gone viral for ardently telling off Rep. Mark Alford (R-MO) during a town hall event.
The speaker, an older man and a farmer, blasted Alford for having no understanding of what it’s like for a working-class American trying to feed their family.

“I have emailed you because it’s easier for me than to try to talk on the phone without profanity,” he said. “I would appreciate you taking your father’s U.S. Constitution book, read it, study it, make your own lines underneath it, and get Trump out of office.”
At this, the crowd applauded.

“The man is a dictator. He knows nothing about what he talks about,” the speaker continued.
He also talked about the bad state policy that may lead to him losing his farm and said that while his former job has given him the resources to feed his family, it isn’t the case for many others. “You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass and start doing your representation of us,” he said, to more applause.

At a different town hall in February, Alford was met with a chorus of screams and boos from constituents after telling them that being fired by Elon Musk is part of God’s plan for them.
“Just because you have a government job doesn’t mean it’s a lifetime appointment like a Supreme Court,” Alford told attendees. “So I would encourage anyone who finds themselves in this situation to realize that we are going to get this economy turning again. There are jobs available. God has a plan and purpose for your life.”
The crowd did not like that at all and, in fact, spent the entire event screaming at Alford as he tried to defend Republican actions.
