Lincoln, Nebraska with fiscal questions.
Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

Lincoln, Nebraska. Flood giving presidential talking points he "cannot take credit for".
When this constituent asks GOP Rep. Mike Flood is he'd support Medicare For All, the Congressman says "We can't afford that.". The crowd at the town hall immediately starts booing.

Trump on undocumented farm workers: "People that live in the inner city are not doing that work. They've tried, we've tried, everybody tried. They don't do it. These people do it naturally. Naturally . they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."
