SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Have any of you experienced, and I'll throw it out to all of you, the astroturfing? We now know Chuck Schumer acknowledged, admitted that they're sending, you know, groups of people to Republican Congress people's town halls for the purpose of disrupting them and creating a false image to make them look bad. Have any of you had that experience?

REP. MARY MILLER (R-IL): Well, they are showing up at my offices to protest, but I'm not going to have a town hall to give them a platform to scream at me and to scream about President Trump and Elon Musk, about all the great things that they're doing that they hate.

And I do want to say that one reason I think we're going to unite on the reconciliation bill is because President Trump is such a great strong leader. And for the first time in forever, we have a president that cares about the American people. And I think that Congress is going to unite around his agenda.

SEAN: I hope so. I hope everybody stays united and understands that these are well organized, funded with talking points, for the very purpose of trying to make elected representatives look bad, and then the media runs with it as if it's real. And then -- it's actually one of those cheap fake videos that weren't cheap fake about Joe Biden.
