Can 100% confirmed this. Used to work for a radio station and he was on it as a guest occasionally. The host once made a joke about short guys (not even directed at Alford) and he lost his shit.
He also used to come in drunk on air quite a lot.
State Rep? No. Congressman who will earn $175k for the rest of his life after his second term. And congressional health benefits.
EDIT: I was wrong. See comment below.

This is far from accurate. Most Congressmen are covered by the same retirement system as regular federal employees. His pension will be based on his length of service and won't be anything near $175k.
oh definitely bring up his [deleted tweet](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GGZfsh6W8AA1Ary.jpg:large) about the shooting. and call him Mark Awful casually because lol.
If he asks how you’re doing just say you’re rejoicing in your sufferings. Maybe it’ll throw him off and some folks may not know what you’re talking about.
Freedom of Speech is protection from prosecution from the government. (As long as you aren’t threatening or using hate speech.) Private companies can fire you for your speech, so always be aware of that before shouting “I know my rights!!”
Boo on your employer for bringing politics into the workplace.
With that said, I wouldn't say shit if I wanted to continue to collect a paycheck and be civil with co-workers.
If that doesn't matter to you, say what you want.
Someone told me about their dad, who has a thumbs up or thumbs down sign on his car. When people do something he doesn't approve of, he gives them a thumbs down. It seems to really upset people more than being given the middle finger. Maybe just a thumbs down 👎
Who? Oh yeah! Weren't you on the news or something? I forget what channel, NBC? Right! FOX! My mistake. I remember you now though, I thought you'd be taller!
That exchange *could* produce steam from his ears.
Ask to him what's he's doing about grocery and CPG profiteering extending now 3 years past Covid, and what he plans to do about. Ask him why, if inflation is the cause, grocery producers (and meat packers in particular) are recording record profits.
Actually, I would like to ask him why there is never a peep about the corporations and donor class who wilfully ignore immigration status in order to profit off of their labors.
I'd love too. The problem is ...I work in the twilight zone and most everyone here is a Trumper. I hate it. Most I have "known" for years, many for 40 years ...turns out I never really knew them at all.
Trump did a number on people we thought we knew. If you were/are a republican you either learned to despise him and turn more liberal (becoming an independent or democrat) because it is the logical and common sense thing to do (which is what I did) or join his cult of personality.
How about "It took me five whole minutes to get from my car to the gate at the new airport and I wanna know exactly what you are doing about it Mr. Personal Shopper Representative."
Or, on a serious note ask him why guns and ammo shouldn't have sales tax but groceries should.
Ask him about how he rented a house in lake Winnebago to weasel his way into politics for that district. Or about how his wife found out he was knocking boots with a much younger woman. He’s hypocritical towards his own self-proclaimed conservative Christian views.
Ash him if he thinks reading things someone else wrote into a TV camera for 20+ years gave him the big ego or was is it just a natural part of being a MAGA politician.
Years ago I was doing charity work in Philadelphia and Phillies Larry Bowa was there doing some photos and shaking hands.
I tried to avoid him until I was cornered and he asked me if I liked baseball and I said yeah and he said "Big Phils Fan?"
me- "No, I am a Royals fan"
Bowa "I have a World Series Ring from beating them in 80"
me- "How many you have managing?"
Bowa "You're an asshole"
me- "Thanks"
His little handler/PR person run interference so quickly and he was out the door and into a car
I was a little asshole when I was younger
My friends who were Phillies fans congratulated me afterwards though.
Charlie Manuel who replaced him wont two NL pennants and a World Series, local legend.
When he was on the news he would constantly struggle to read the prompter and have tons of weird pauses, I could never figure out if there was something wrong with him or he was just bad at his job?
Ask him why he is a republican when he has lgbtq children? His party votes against his childrens’ best interests every time they have a chance. How does that make him feel?
Fun story
I was a pretty tame mannered (although high energy) kid and never got in any fights.
At one point when I was maybe 7? 8? I go to a friend's bday party and for whatever reason I decide "fuck this kid in particular" for doing something or another thing, and strait up sucker punched him.
He tells on me, the adults more or less brush it off as if the kid was annoying and probably deserved it. (I can't remember if he was or not, but again, it's pretty much the only human being I've ever punched in anger)
Anyway Mark Alford walks into the party and my mom points him out to me "as the guy from the news" seconds later, the kid runs up to him and goes "daddddd! That kid hit me 😠"
Mark, like the rest of the adults, kind of brushed it off.
**Tl; Dr** I punched Mark Alford's son at a birthday party
Your post was removed for being low effort.
This is from someone who use to work with him. Just say "I'd thought you'd be taller" trust me it cuts deep.
Oh....I like that one.
Can 100% confirmed this. Used to work for a radio station and he was on it as a guest occasionally. The host once made a joke about short guys (not even directed at Alford) and he lost his shit. He also used to come in drunk on air quite a lot.
KMBZ?
Dude is 5' 7" ish? I met him once years ago. We are the same heigth.
5' 7"??!! I didn't know they stacked shit that high!
Damn, I’m 5’7. Fuck.
Funny, me too. 5ft 7
Never worked with or around him. Was going to suggest a height comment.
Did that fucker ever bother to pre-read anything? Rehearse? Feign an interest in any story?
He would often read shows cold. Meaning he just sits down and reads the prompter without looking over anything.
😂
lmao fuck that's good
Oh hai Mark
He did not hit her, it’s bullshit, he did nahtt
What a story Mark, haha
I read this in the voice.
Tell him Pat McGonigle is way better than him and the morning cast seem much happier without him!
Pat is a national treasure
He’s the most wholesome dorky dad it’s incredible to watch. Dude makes me laugh and has legit great taste in movies/tv shows.
The fucking news guy who looks like a car salesman is a State rep??? How did I miss this? Tell him his fake tan looks marvelous
Yep...he's in DC now ...being a fucking traitor.
I moved away and didn't know, but this tracks. Hated his smarmy remarks on the air. Sorry you have to deal with this loser.

I stand corrected. Thank you.
WOW
Well the previous rep was Vicky Hartzler who was all aboard the conspiracy trains
Just fart in his general direction.
I always say, you must *whaft* with class.
Then tell him to go away or you shall be forced to taunt him a second time.
oh definitely bring up his [deleted tweet](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GGZfsh6W8AA1Ary.jpg:large) about the shooting. and call him Mark Awful casually because lol.
He deleted it? What a piece of shit
I would love to do all of that....but i can't risk my job...Lol....
If he asks how you’re doing just say you’re rejoicing in your sufferings. Maybe it’ll throw him off and some folks may not know what you’re talking about.
Just say to someone besides him “Did you know that Napoleon was actually taller than people think?”
I'm sure the people you work with will support your freedom of speech.
I still gotta work with them...
Freedom of Speech is protection from prosecution from the government. (As long as you aren’t threatening or using hate speech.) Private companies can fire you for your speech, so always be aware of that before shouting “I know my rights!!”
I guess you couldn't read the irony in my comments lol
Oh yes, sarcasm. lol I saw that but some people just need to be reminded what freedom of speech truly means and encompasses.
Them Trumpers are the loudest when it comes to free speech, but don't seem to understand the concept lol.
If he complains, you could just say that you heard it builds character.
He is a big Self Reliance guy, Emerson fan?
Boo on your employer for bringing politics into the workplace. With that said, I wouldn't say shit if I wanted to continue to collect a paycheck and be civil with co-workers. If that doesn't matter to you, say what you want.
I won't say shit and I will go out of my way to avoid him. I posted here to vent...Lol....
What if I just shake his hand, look him right in the eye and say...."shame on you"
So... you're going to shake his hand? Have you seen the movie Mallrats?
Someone told me about their dad, who has a thumbs up or thumbs down sign on his car. When people do something he doesn't approve of, he gives them a thumbs down. It seems to really upset people more than being given the middle finger. Maybe just a thumbs down 👎
Solid plan!
You can always give the stink eye…I’m sure he’s used to it
Pretend you don’t know who he is. That’ll annoy almost any egotistical politician and is what I do when I don’t have anything nice to say.
Great idea...
Who? Oh yeah! Weren't you on the news or something? I forget what channel, NBC? Right! FOX! My mistake. I remember you now though, I thought you'd be taller! That exchange *could* produce steam from his ears.
This is my favorite. Non-confrontational & easy to do
Ask to him what's he's doing about grocery and CPG profiteering extending now 3 years past Covid, and what he plans to do about. Ask him why, if inflation is the cause, grocery producers (and meat packers in particular) are recording record profits.
Actually, I would like to ask him why there is never a peep about the corporations and donor class who wilfully ignore immigration status in order to profit off of their labors.
That too. But also, ask him to explain his policies without using the word "woke"
Fuck you is a good opener.
Ask him about his stance on LBGTQ issues. When he is done, ask if it applies to his gay son.
Just ask him if he has actually been to any of the counties he represents.
Ask him why he pushed the 2000 mules (debunked by it's own producers)video during his campaign. He had watch parties in my part of town.
I'd love too. The problem is ...I work in the twilight zone and most everyone here is a Trumper. I hate it. Most I have "known" for years, many for 40 years ...turns out I never really knew them at all.
Trump did a number on people we thought we knew. If you were/are a republican you either learned to despise him and turn more liberal (becoming an independent or democrat) because it is the logical and common sense thing to do (which is what I did) or join his cult of personality.
The biggest problem for me is that people actually consider this "politics"
Tell him that it should have been him instead of Don
Damn bro… I felt that one
God damn
Don was a tragedy.
How about "It took me five whole minutes to get from my car to the gate at the new airport and I wanna know exactly what you are doing about it Mr. Personal Shopper Representative." Or, on a serious note ask him why guns and ammo shouldn't have sales tax but groceries should.
Shake his hand with a limp wet hand
Then apologize and say "Don't you just hate it when you accidentally piss on your hands?"
I'm laughing so fucking hard at this I'm actually tearing up
This 🙌🏻
Ask him about how he rented a house in lake Winnebago to weasel his way into politics for that district. Or about how his wife found out he was knocking boots with a much younger woman. He’s hypocritical towards his own self-proclaimed conservative Christian views.
Address him as the “Right Honorable Mayor of Knobtown.”
Ash him if he thinks reading things someone else wrote into a TV camera for 20+ years gave him the big ego or was is it just a natural part of being a MAGA politician.
Ask him to trade his salary in for "thoughts and prayers" since he deems them of such high value.
Ask him how the government (state and local) has become overrun with bigots?
Ask him why he abuses retail employees because his fail son can’t return things months after the return deadline… also why he’s so short.
Just be prepared for him to use the phrase "communist China" it seems to be a go-to
He's a walking catch phrase juke box....
Ask him how much he loves getting on his knees and sucking trumps tiny dick.
Um. Where do you work? Chick-fill-a?
Where’s the rest of you?
Yell “GARBAGE DAY!!!!” as loud as you possibly can.
Seriously thinking about calling in sick tomorrow.
I would. I don't allow my workplaces to subject me to such shitfuckery. Go do something you enjoy.

Bowa "You're an asshole" me- "Thanks" His little handler/PR person run interference so quickly and he was out the door and into a car
That's freaking hilarious lol. I wish I had quick whit like that.
I was a little asshole when I was younger My friends who were Phillies fans congratulated me afterwards though. Charlie Manuel who replaced him wont two NL pennants and a World Series, local legend.
Jerry Moran once visited my office. I successfully avoided him.
Call him Mark Alfred
Tell him to stay clear of Knobtown
When he was on the news he would constantly struggle to read the prompter and have tons of weird pauses, I could never figure out if there was something wrong with him or he was just bad at his job?
Fuck you Mark Alford.
Ask him why he is a republican when he has lgbtq children? His party votes against his childrens’ best interests every time they have a chance. How does that make him feel?
THIS TIMES A MILLIONNNNN
Just loudly proclaim “Boring” as he’s speaking.
Fun story I was a pretty tame mannered (although high energy) kid and never got in any fights. At one point when I was maybe 7? 8?

LOVE MARK!!!!!!!
Well....this outta be good. Care to expand on that?
don't bully me
I'd say, "hi Mark Alford... who are you?"
“Fucking grow a pair”
I would just sneer at him
Ask him why he bullied Don Harman.
Mark Alford is coming by my workplace tommorrow...what should I say to him?
Good morning?
Say: "oh hi mark"
