Congressman Ryan Mackenzie Sinks With MAGA Loyalists on the Trumptanic
The most vulnerable congressman. Trying to run on affordability. Ha! Rourke/Associated Press

Congressman Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07) does not hold town halls, answer emails or phone calls, because this man has no balls. He does what Trump tells him at the expense of his own career. Unlike Senator Dave McCormick who uses his seat for profit, Mackenzie is a butt-kisser wannabe.

I protested in front of Ryan Mackenzie's office at least once a week and never saw him there. In fact, no one ever saw him here, there or anywhere. We saw his image on TV, we saw his image online. We saw his image on an app. We really didn't give a crap. We joked that he was AI and not a real person.

In September 2025 my husband and I left the Saturday protest in Allentown to go to a fire company open house in Macungie. We ate food, saw fire trucks, talked to people and then I saw him. I shouted "Look who it is!". Ryan Mackenzie was standing there holding his son. His pregnant wife Chloe stood beside him. His staff recognized me but said nothing. Ryan had a big smile on his face as if I was a fan happy to see him.

I made small talk. "Awww, is that your little firefighter?" Ryan proudly replied, "Yes!". We chatted a little more as I walked closer and shook his hand. I said "Hi. Ryan. I'm the Reaper Lady.". The smile turned into a look of horror. His staff still remained quiet. They knew I got the nickname for bringing a grim reaper prop named Ryan the Reaper to pair with my sign saying REPEAL REPUBLICAN REAPERCARE. And then Ryan asked me what my biggest issue was. I replied "Are you serious?" HEALTHCARE!". The man voted in July to cut healthcare.

Then he started whining about the protesters being mean to him and making nasty phone calls. I never did that. But I told him that people don't like when you cut their healthcare. A few weeks after than encounter, we started seeing ads on television for Mackenzie. The ads were saying he was strengthening healthcare and there were more lies in it. The same crap the Republicans like to spread like manure. The ads didn't fool anyone.

January 12, 2026 Ryan Mackenzie holds a bs press conference "Working for You". WFMZ reporter Rob Manch covered it in Bethlehem. Rob and his cameraman immediately left and came to the Mackenzie Monday protest. WFMZ reporters drive by us every Monday. The protesters elected me to be interviewed. On January 8, 2026, Mackenzie voted in favor of 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium tax credits. But he voted to cut healthcare in July. He is running for reelection and just wants our votes. Rob Manch ended the piece saying Mackenzie will have to do more to regain people's trust.

Ryan Mackenzie continues support Trump's agenda though most of constituents and voters don't want that. He does nothing to earn voters but plenty to lose them. His loyalty to Trump will cost him his career. Maybe he can get a job on Fox News.
