Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) touched off a flood of jeers at a town hall when she told attendees she was proud to vote for President Donald Trumps Big Beautiful Bill, with a smattering of claps in rebuttal.
The GOP-controlled House narrowly passed the Trump-backed spending bill nicknamed the Big Beautiful Bill last week, but it faces a rough road in the Senate. It also seems to be facing a rough time on the road.
Rep. Hinson who won reelection by a 15-point margin in her district held a town hall meeting in Elkader Wednesday night that devolved into jeers and heckling when she brought up the bill and said she was proud to have voted for it:
REP. ASHLEY HINSON: I reintroduced bipartisan bicameral legislation with several of my colleagues to fix real problems like on-shoring our food supply chain, boosting our domestic manufacturing, and ensuring as well that the CCP, Communist Chinese Party, does not control any part of our food supply chain. That is critical because food security is national security.
I was also proud to vote for President Trumps one big, beautiful bill, a generational precedent.
CROWDMEMBERS: (JEERS AND BOOS).
REP. ASHLEY HINSON: This bill will continue to tax relief for working Americans. I cant believe you would boo tax relief for working Americans.
CROWDMEMBERS: (JEERS AND HECKLING) WRONG! WRONG!
REP. ASHLEY HINSON: This bill is promises made, promises kept in action. Iowans overwhelmingly voted for President Trumps America First agenda. Ending illegal immigration, preventing dangerous criminals and drugs from entering our communities, cutting wasteful spending and unleashing American energy. Thats what this bill does.
And when Democrats were the majority, you know what they passed? They passed legislation to make you report $600 transactions on Venmo and wanted to hire 87,000 more IRS agents to come after you and target you. I think thats wrong. And they added trillions of dollars in new spending that drove up inflation, which is a tax, a real tax on everybody.
ATTENDEE: SO DID TRUMP! Trillions of dollars!

(518 posts)She kind of omitted that part. And where in that bill is a tax relief for "working Americans"? And why won't they tax the rich, the ones that can afford to be taxed and lower everyone else's taxes in the process??
