KEARNEY, Neb. — A crowd of nearly 250 told U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts on Thursday what they think about President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the Republican majorities in the U.S. House and Senate.
Ricketts tried to tell his side during the 40-minute town hall event in Kearney, but he was shouted down most of the time.
“Tax the rich! Tax the rich! Tax the rich!” the people chanted.
In a rare show of unity, the crowd cheered when someone questioned Ricketts’ loyalty.

Why Nebraska elected a Senator that is a billionaire is beyond me.
