INTERVIEW: Rep. Brandon Gill's office opening goes off without a hitch amid scrutiny of allegedly paid Democrat protesters
THE LOWDOWN:
Rep. Brandon Gill opened his Flower Mound, Texas, office to fanfare — and without disruption from liberal protesters who have been targeting Republican events across America.
Gill sat down with the Reporter on Thursday at the ribbon cutting and open house of his district office, saying that they hosted “probably 200 people here,” including “supporters from all across the district, local grassroots activists, Chamber of Commerce members, other local business leaders.”
Gill said he thinks that the support from his supporters comes from his positioning as a staunch conservative leader in Congress.
Gill said he believes that the increase in Republican voters in America comes from the fact that “the American people to their core do lean more conservative than they lean liberal, and polls have shown that for decades.”
FLOWER MOUND, Texas — Rep. Brandon Gill (R., Texas) opened his Flower Mound, Texas, office to fanfare — and without disruption from liberal protesters who have been targeting Republican events across America.
Gill sat down with the Reporter on Thursday at the ribbon cutting and open house of his district office, saying that they hosted “probably 200 people here,” including “supporters from all across the district, local grassroots activists, Chamber of Commerce members, other local business leaders.”
“But you're right, we didn't have a single protester here,” Gill said. The Texas freshman said he thinks one of the reasons behind that case is because the people of his district, Texas’ 26 congressional district, are “looking for a conservative fighter to represent them in Washington.”
“And we have been in the middle of every single major political fight over the past three months,” he continued. “That's what they want. That's what they're looking for. That's what the the American people, our base, is looking for. So I think, you know, we certainly we're happy with the reception here, and happy to have to see all of our supporters.”
Gill said he thinks that the support from his supporters comes from his positioning as a staunch conservative leader in Congress. He said that, for “decades, there was what was often referred to as the silent majority, and it was the conservative half of the country, and I think that it was more than half.”
“It really was the majority who were getting beaten down constantly. The left was dominant. They've taken over every single facet of civil society. They've run our foreign policy into the ground. They've run our economy into the ground. They've opened up our borders and unleashed hell on our people. And there's been this silent majority who are sitting and waiting for somebody to be their voice.”
“I think President Trump certainly is the voice for that silent majority. I hope to also be a voice for those people because we cannot have half the country that is not represented in Washington,” he added.
Gill said he believes that the increase in Republican voters in America comes from the fact that “the American people to their core do lean more conservative than they lean liberal, and polls have shown that for decades.”
“We are a conservative nation, but the other half of that is that the left has driven their party off of a cliff. Over the past four years, they have gone so radical so far to the left, their ideology defies common sense on every single measure and, in every single issue, the majority of Americans don't want boys in girls’ sports. They don't want boys in girls’ locker rooms.”
“They think that. It's appalling that, for instance, another rogue D.C. Circuit Court Judge yesterday ordered that some men be housed in women's prisons. That is dangerous. It's wrong. It defies common sense,” he added.
Gill also pointed to the open southern border under former President Joe Biden and how they “completely reshaped American communities.”
“And they've done it on purpose, very clearly on purpose. It's depressing working-class wages. It's bringing drugs and crime into our communities. It's created a now-existential fentanyl crisis and it is completely altering our social fabric,” Gill said.
“Normal people don't agree with that. Normal people don't want transgender activists taking over the White House Easter Egg Roll like they did under the Biden administration,” he continued. “I mean, these things are so deeply insulting and wrong.”
“So it's a long way of saying the left has gone so far, so radical that I think normal people have just had enough with them, and at this point, they're starting to realize it too, but they don't know what to do,” Gill said.
