Overview
- A hostile crowd at Flood’s Norfolk town hall Tuesday challenged him on rising local costs, the Iran strikes and presidential projects, with attendees booing and interrupting his answers.
- Flood said he will withhold support for the Justice Department’s nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund until Congress opens oversight in the House or Senate.
- He defended the administration’s strikes related to Iran, telling constituents that military action has substantially degraded Iran’s capacity to harm the United States.
- Flood denied backing a U.S. invasion of Greenland and scheduled a meeting with the Danish ambassador for June 4 to address the remarks.
- The encounter comes after Republicans left for recess when a reconciliation bill collapsed over disputed line items including funding for the White House ballroom, a split that underscores broader GOP fractures that could affect Flood’s reelection bid.
