Summary
At a Missouri town hall, Rep. Mark Alford faced backlash after telling fired federal workers that “God has a plan” for them and urging them to find new jobs, insisting the economy would improve.
Constituents, angered by Trump’s sweeping government cuts and Elon Musk’s influence, heckled Alford throughout the event. Similar protests have erupted nationwide, reflecting growing discontent.
Critics, including both Democrats and some conservatives, compared the movement to the Tea Party backlash in 2009.
Many federal employees fear further uncertainty under Trump’s policies.
