DOGE-ING QUESTIONS

Voter Hits Back at MAGA Lawmaker Who Ran Away From ‘Rude’ Town Hall: ‘Does He Think We’re Stupid?’

Chuck Nunn grilled Republican senator Roger Marshall on DOGE cuts affecting veterans before the lawmaker made a beeline for the door.

A Kansas voter has hit back at a senator who ditched a rowdy town hall meeting early after being grilled about DOGE. Republican lawmaker Roger Marshall walked out of the Saturday meeting in Oakley, Kansas, 20 minutes early after labelling the audience “rude.” He had fielded a passionate question about veterans suffering from Department of Government Efficiency cuts from Chuck Nunn, who labeled himself as a “conservative Democrat.“ Marshall failed to answer and left. Nunn later appeared on Erin Burnett OutFront on CNN. “Why he would stand up there and lie to us over and over again—does he think that we’re stupid out here? Has he been away from his roots for too long? I just—I don’t understand it‚” Nunn told the host. He said he didn’t understand Marshall’s reaction, as he knows him to be a “decent individual.” Nunn, who has voted for Marshall in the past and whose wife is a Republican, surmised that “some people can’t handle the truth.” Marshall walked out after Nunn’s question on Saturday and later claimed Democrat saboteurs had hijacked the meeting. President Donald Trump had earlier complained about “paid troublemakers.”
