Laughing MSNBC hosts ridicule GOP lawmakers getting humiliated at town halls
The hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" dissolved in laughter on Saturday after watching clips that have gone viral showing Republican lawmakers being raked over the coals by voters at town halls over Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
In the past few days, GOP lawmakers have returned home to speak to their constituents about the progress that Trump is making and instead have been vociferously booed and berated with Musk being a huge sore point for voters who feel betrayed by his mass firings.
After sharing the clips, co-host Symone Sanders Townsend pointed out that crowds "are Republicans. These are not Democratic actors who were bussed in from, you know, the blue parts of the state, honey, These are Republican constituents."

That led to co-hosts Alicia Menedez and Michael Steele to burst into laughter with Steele interjecting, "Not Antifa in that room."
"Antifa was not the room, honey," Sanders Townsend shot back as all three continued to laugh as she added, "This was Bob who was a lifelong conservative who was like, 'What the h-e-double hockey sticks was going on? Why are you not working member of Congress?'"
"Yeah, look and there's more of that to come," former RNC chair Steele replied. "Why? Because all of this now is beginning to become real for folks in these communities in Indiana and Wisconsin and elsewhere."
"I think that is important, " he added. "Look, Republicans have avoided doing town hall meetings up to this point. Democrats have been out there doing those meetings, and they've been going when they hit the brakes, they, you know, doing the congressional session, they go back into their districts."
"Republicans have not and there was a reason for that. But you can only do that for so long, because what ultimately happens is the last thing you want is your community to start holding town hall meetings and sending you an invitation," he added before bursting into laughter again.
