Assclown Alert is a column of opinion, analysis and snark.
GOP Congressman Troy Nehls was so incensed that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke would hold a town hall in his southwest-of-Houston district last Friday that he posted a two-minute video meltdown accusing the pair of being “radical left lunatics.”
“Tim Walz, you are a loser,” Nehls, R-Richmond, taunted in the clip. “The American people rejected you and Kamala in November. Give it up.” He then turned his attention to O’Rourke. “You’re not only a loser, you’re a three-time loser.”
Close your eyes, zero in on Nehls’ reedy, sneering tone and it’s easy to envision a snot-nosed middle school bully delivering the same screed just before trying to shake loose lunch money from a couple of the nerdy kids.
Walz touched down in Nehls’ district last week because he’s been staging town halls around the country to hear from voters frustrated with the Trump administration’s demolition of democratic norms — and Republican lawmakers’ apparent eagerness to let the 78-year-old man baby wipe his feet on the Constitution.
Walz’s tour also comes after National Republican Congressional Committee honcho Richard Hudson advised GOP lawmakers not to hold in-person town halls because voters have been more than willing to show up and call them on their bullshit.
“If your Republican representative won’t meet with you because their agenda is so unpopular, maybe a Democrat will,” Walz said in a social media post spelling out his strategy.
Meanwhile, Nehls — a die-hard Trump sycophant who once told other House members the Great Orange Leader is “right all the time” — has been AWOL when it comes to public meetings since Trump was reelected.
In his video, the congressman defended his record of interacting with voters, saying he meets regularly with local chambers of commerce and sends out a weekly newsletter to 35,000 subscribers. Worthy of note: his congressional district boasts a population of 808,000 people.
Here’s a hot take for assclown Nehls: If you don’t like Democrats talking to your constituents, try unburying your face from between Trump’s flabby ass cheeks and doing your fucking job.
