1. I think you can take him

Like his cult leader he looks soft and weak.

[littlemissmartypants]

2. And really worried.

[NJCher]

5. Also doubtful, pained

Not good for Flood or his thug boss.

[calimary]

36. GOOD.

[NJCher]

8. The guy to the right, too

Is WTF?

This is great. Makes me happy.

Added: whenever you see crossed arms, it’s saying I don’t believe you and I’m shutting you out.

[TheBlackAdder]

24. IDK, if he's rabid then he's a Guardian.

Doesn't GOP stand for Guardians Of Pedophiles?

[Rver]

3. I made the rawstory

[NJCher]

4. That sign behind Flood!

Wow.

And Flood standing right there with it, giving a mic flood.

-----

on edit: To add to the body language comments, notice how Flood has his hands in the air. That's called a "regulator" in nonverbal communication jargon. The gesture means he wants the speaker to stop. Stop! This is painful!

[littlemissmartypants]

10. Have they no situational awareness at all?

[Rver]

40. I didn't notice his hands lol

[1WorldHope]

31. I heard and saw you ask a question.

But he was just gas lighting everyone.
The big bloody BS bill is his proudest achievement. Trickle down economics, lies about medicaid, and Americans voted for closed borders. Just bullshit. Thanks for going and standing up.

[Omaha Steve]

44. The DU showed up

I gave you an R!

[stollen]

6. It's amazing the number of lies Flood spews

We didn't have open borders under Biden. Flood does such a disservice to keep repeating that lie. Who does he think he is? Goebbels? I'm glad the crowd expressed its outrage over being fed the same ole propaganda.

[allegorical oracle]

12. Blind loyalty means you never have to know you lied. They believe their BS. nt

[stollen]

48. Blaming Biden Isn't working anymore.

That spell has been broken.

[barbtries]

7. he doesn't look any happier than you do.

is it moving the needle at all?

some magats have to be realizing they've been had. a few of them must be humble enough to face it and end their involvement in the cult. this really has to happen.

thank you for showing up and wearing your OG activist shirt!

[Fla Dem]

9. Great pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post them all.

[twodogsbarking]

11. Thanks for your efforts. Save some women for the rest of us.

[Dan]

13. Thank you for the post.

Now my question to you.

What did you think of the representative and what did you think of the crowds reaction?

From your perspective will he get re-elected?

[Omaha Steve]

14. I think he is lying scum

He knows he can't tell the truth. The crowd knew it too.

He is in a safe red district. It will take somebody with a lot of $ to beat him. He has TV stations all over the state. You can bet the news on his stations are pro Flood.

OS

[Dan]

21. If the voters are aware

Of how bad things are and is going to be , even for themselves.....why vote for a person that will continue the beating?

Red district, can they change - what keeps them Red when they're the ones getting hurt?

[Permanut]

38. They're True Believers.

[AZ8theist]

42. ..or MORONS

[Emile]

15. We're proud of you Steve 👏

[Mystery To Me]

16. Thanks for showing up there!

and for the pics.

[Prairie_Seagull]

17. Steely eyed go getter.

Great work Steve.

[flashman13]

18. The crowd didn't seem to be buying what Flood was peddling. Looked like some seriously PO'd people.

[bluestarone]

19. TY for all your posts on DU. You are a true American!

Love the fact that i can put a face to your posts now. We need millions and millions like YOU!

[LoisB]

20. Great job! Thank you for all you do.

[Kali]

22. gotta give the guy credit for showing up

or is he just stupid? oh wait, repuke? that answers my question.

[Bumbles]

23. Thank you, Steve.

Great picture! Love the shirt which took me back to my college days when I campaigned for Kennedy. Oh, how different things would be if history had taken different roads. Hopefully better with an intact democracy.

[milestogo]

25. I loved that lady who who got up and asked him how much fascism costs.

Hit the nail right on the head.

[Ocelot II]

26. Rep. Flood looked kinda sweaty,

and the crowd looked like they were about to ready their tar and feathers.

[NJCher]

28. There are a few pics

where it looks like Flood wants to cry!

His name is so appropriate: A flood of tears.

Even though he's a treasonous republican sell-out, it looks like there is considerable stress involved. Not enough. He should drop dead already.

[ReRe]

45. I swear. All Republicans are a bunch of actors!

Robots in human bodies. How on God's earth can Republicans be so heartless? It's just makes one want to go up to him and give him a good shake and tell him to get hold of himself!

[JMCKUSICK]

27. Congratulations OS

That's pretty cool

[blogslug]

29. Looking good, Omaha Steve!

📷

[Kid Berwyn]

30. Love ya, Man!

Facing facts forced Flood to wet his flipping pants.

[Traildogbob]

32. Good on you Omaha

I want one person to ask these assholes, especially after Flood’s Medicaid statement, “in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 trump said his team is looking into the greatest health care plan on earth, the likes of which the world has never seen, we will bring to you in two weeks”, so, Wus Up? Nothing, the likes of which we will never see’. Never is the key word in that promise.
If I were given a job, paid great money with perks and health care and pay until I die, carried on by my arm candy Hooker wife, for doing that job and told the people that foot that bill, the people I work for, this same bullshit every damn year, all year, I would be fired and sued into poverty and never ever hired anywhere again. “Never”.
Where is the Health Care? Looks to us like they are gonna take it all away, the likes of which we have never seen. And allow the bills, absurd amounts, to destroy our credit for life. Or die because we can not pay.
But Flood, “the likes of which we see every fucking day”, has premium care.

[Traildogbob]

33. I know the answer Steve

“As promised by President trump from day 1, we gutted and destroyed Obama Care. (Which is a rare fact) fuck McCain, we are getting great again”. Then the guy next to you will stand up jumping like Elon chanting USA USA USA!!!

[duhneece]

34. Yay!! I was wondering if you attended since I first heard about it

I’m incredibly proud and happy to know you, be inspired by you. You have rocked my world for years and you just keep getting better and better.

[Wild blueberry]

35. Bravo, Omaha Steve!

Our hero! Thank you!

[maccafan]

37. Omaha Steve

Thank you for all that you do! You are one in a million!!

[Figarosmom]

39. You're that good looking guy in the center?

Looks like a packed house. I do hope the repubs there learned something.

[Tesha]

41. If looks could kill...

I bet he got your message

[Skittles]

43. hoo boy

the expressions of all three guys represent ALL of us with critical thinking skills

[ReRe]

46. You're the greatest, Omaha Steve.

Thank you so much for everything you do.
In this OP you have shown in a nut shell what is going on in this country.
The people are up in ARMS!

[orleans]

47. you look like you were having a really good time
