Man, the fascists really cannot stand to be laughed at.
What a weirdo
Christ, does anyone want to start a small fund to pay me to go ask these assholes these questions?
Cops like to hit women but let’s see them go after a middle-aged, conservative-looking white dude with privilege.

I don’t care if they shoot me. I barely want to live most days as it is.
You’re hired!
At least try to take one of them with you.
I’d really rather just ask them tough questions on camera, because someone fucking has to.
I live in a red area of a not-red state and these people, my neighbors? Most of them aren’t intentionally evil. They’re propagandized because they don’t ever see any actual news about politics.
As a former Republican: Most Republican voters would not vote for Republicans if they had accurate information about both parties.
Yeah asking questions and changing minds is one of the best things someone like you can work to do
Sounds like he had pre written talking points about fuel prices before the iran war started, and he was like fuck it I’m not going to change them!
maga has always tried to make it seem like their views and policies are reasonable and both sides deserve equal weight. It’s a step on the way to critical thinking but they never reach it. The next step is analyze the outcomes and data and causes to come to an informed and accurate conclusion. The maga pointed at all the wrong stuff instead of the real blame, the tariffs and the war for all the higher prices. What a sick excuse to want more pollution for people in the areas near data centers and industrial areas. We deserve cleaner air, land and water, not worse, not regression. The maga way is unacceptable to healthy humanity. Do better!
A total f’n loser, vote out the POS racist Russian supported MAGA shits!
Goes running to the principal when he starts to lose.
“The facts are diesel prices have gone up. There’s no question about it. Why has it gone up? Because the Democrats have environmental regulations—” Harris tried to respond, only for audience members to groan, laugh, and shout at the Maryland first district congressman and chair of the right-wing House Freedom caucus.
…
Shortly after the debate, Harris, a staunch MAGA Republican who has avoided in-person town halls since 2023, tried to get a reporter arrested for recording his speech to a group of journalists. Harris incorrectly stated the reporter was breaking the law as she asked about his support for the war.
What a F’ing snowflake.
Hey asshole Republican, read the First Amendment please. Here I’ll help you: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The people laughing at you aren’t the government. They didn’t even stop you physically from trying to utter your garbage. They just laughed at you. You stopped talking yourself. The First Amendment doesn’t mean people have to listen to you, and it certianly doesn’t shield you from being laughed at when you say stupid shit.
Mr. Republican, the fact that you don’t know how the First Amendment to the US Constitution works should disqualify you from holding the office where your oath includes: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;”
How can you swear to support and defend the Constitution when you haven’t even read the thing?
Let’s game this out. Assume what he was saying is true. Prices went up because Democrats have environmental regulations. Ok, cool. So the Democrats are protecting the environment? What an excellent endorsement.
When did prices shoot up? Just this year, right? Did the Democrats add these regulations this year then? Even though the House, Senate, and White House are controlled by Maga, somehow the party controlling all branches of the federal government was sidelined and wasn’t able to stop it. Is he saying the Maga party, and by extension the President, is weak and feckless? Bold of him to say.
However, Occam’s Razor tends to indicate he is full of crap, and that disel prices went up due to fallout from an unwinnable war, initiated by a feckless President, as a distraction from the allegations that he raped children.
Either way, good on the Democrats for protecting the environment, I suppose.
Prices went up because Democrats have environmental regulations. Ok, cool.
Conservatives (regressives) refuse to accept higher prices for anything, including a higher quality of life. This, of course, only holds true until someone they elected skyrockets their cost of living and then the excuses come pouring in. The problem is they keep electing failures that skyrocket their cost of living without offering them anything in return.
Sometimes you have to pay more for nicer things. Here’s a good example. I’ve spent my entire life in The Valley in California. When I was a kid I’d come down out of the Sierras on the freeway in the summer and you could literally see a thick layer of smog covering the valley with the tops of the skyscrapers peaking out above that layer. Then CA got serious about fuel refinement standards and SMOG laws and now that layer is all but gone. So I pay more TO BREATHE CLEANER AIR. And there’s way more people/cars in this valley than there used to be, so these regulations REALLY worked.
And like you mentioned, the cost of living skyrocketing is so clearly and obviously tied to this admin’s awful policies that there’s no argument in reality against it. The problem is we’re all trying to point this out to actual, literal cult members.
Funny how those “environmental regulations” coincided with the attack on Iran.
I guess I miss the days when people avoided questions by being vague or redirecting… wasn’t good then, but certainly better than lying, getting angry, then threatening journalists with laws that don’t apply.
Whine and threaten, the conservative (regressive) way.
Can’t govern while you’re whining and threatening.
Wish I could vote for the prick running against this prick… if only!
Shortly after the debate, Harris, a staunch MAGA Republican who has avoided in-person town halls since 2023, tried to get a reporter arrested for recording his speech to a group of journalists.
Nothing in the article or subsequent links indicate that he actually managed this. The Twitter-link just has him making idle threats about referring a random person with a cell phone camera to a prosecutor. There was no follow-up to determine if a complaint was filed or a prosecutor contacted.
I do think it’s glaring to see a sitting Congressman outright admit intent to conspire with state prosecutors for a malicious misuse of power. But unless he followed through… No different than a guy standing in front of an ATM while announcing, “You owe me money and I’m going to break you open to get it”.
Who says there would be a record for you to check? You think he’s filing a police report? The victim would just be arrested later on some made up unrelated bullshit, their house will be ransacked, dogs shot, car impounded. Of course the charges will be dropped but he point is the same: This is what happens if you fuck with me.
Why the fuck would you say those threats are idle?
Yah, those libs and their protecting the air we breathe, the water we drink.
