Flood, a second-term Republican who represents the GOP-leaning district that includes the University of Nebraska, on Monday braved the ire of a college town audience dominated by hundreds of people intent on expressing their displeasure chiefly with cuts to Medicaid benefits and tax reductions tilted toward the wealthy.
He described the law as less than perfect but stood firm on its Medicaid and tax provisions, fueling a 90-minute barrage of jeers and chants in a scenario House Republican leaders have advised GOP members to avoid.
People are NOT happy with Trump's bill. It adds $3.3T to the National Debt. Slashes funds for Medicaid , SNAP and WIC. People will suffer because of this.
