I saw some '#Townhall
Among ' #Maga #GOP #Representatives' and their #Constituency
(people who elected them to be >represented<)

One of the #MAGA Rep. said that 'She was not in agreement' with the requests of his Constituency
(who care if you agree ? you job is to represent)
Another, to the request of his Constituency to intervene against #musk
replied 'I support Musk'

But ...
if these #MAGA 'representatives' do not represent who voted them to be represented ...

shouldn't they resign?
