A voter in Missouri is going viral for an all-too-blunt assessment of Rep. Mark Alford (R-Mo.) and President Donald Trump. “I am pissed, and I’m pissed at you,” a man who identified himself as Fred Higginbotham told Alford at a town hall on Monday as he urged him to study the Constitution “and get Trump out of office.” Trump, he said, is a “dictator.” “I listened to him for about a half hour today and I got sick at all the lies he brought up,” Higginbotham said, later adding: “You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass and start doing your representation of us.”Many in the room cheered. Higginbotham also spoke of his own struggles, saying he was about to lose his farm, and urged Alford to increase taxes on large corporations and the wealthy: Constituent: I am pissed, and I am pissed at you. The man is a dictator. He knows nothing about what he talks about. You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass. pic.twitter.com/B5m3Sx6qve— Acyn (@Acyn) August 26, 2025Many GOP lawmakers have largely shunned town halls and other public events this year. When they do turn up for them, they often face a roomful of angry voters ready to shout and jeer.Alford, however, is planning to hold 15 town halls this week, according to Kansas City’s KSHB. But it was his encounter with a single voter on Monday that took off online, as many on X echoed the cheers of those in the room: "You wanna straighten out the budget? Start taxing corporations and the wealthy, like we’ve been telling you. Do you think we’re idiots? Do you think we don’t pay taxes? Do you think that we don’t have to make budgets?" https://t.co/Ydhm0OoK1w— Emma Vigeland (@EmmaVigeland) August 26, 2025idk what it is, but videos of older americans laying into republican reps make me want to cry 🥺 still showing up, still telling it like it is, still fighting for what they believe in https://t.co/mTKkg1nNK7— Megan Coyne (@megancoyne23) August 26, 2025This man is old enough to know what dictators and fascism does to people. Truly a great and wise patriot. 👏— Fozon Capital (@FozonCapital) August 26, 2025Rep. Mark Alford's craven sycophancy to dictator Trump ignores constituents' hardships like skyrocketing costs and farm losses while parroting dangerous lies. #DumpAlford #TrumpBootlicker— Dr. Cole #Resister (@1drcole) August 26, 2025Close
