The hostile crowd Nebraska Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Flood faced this week in his district’s most Democratic city may have helped him choose to host the event.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Rep. Mike Flood has gotten an earful during a public meeting in Lincoln aimed at discussing his support for the massive tax breaks and spending cuts bill that passed Congress and was signed into law by President Donald Trump.

From the start of the 90-minute session, Flood was met with an angry crowd that asked substantive questions but rarely seemed satisfied with his answers.
