Another #Republican #TownHall descends into chaos over #Musk and #Trump’s #DEI policies

"Only those who pre-registered and provided a valid ID for Donalds’s town hall were permitted to attend."

"Florida Representative #ByronDonalds faced hundreds of his constituents on Monday during a contentious town hall filled with boos, jeers, cheers and shouting – the latest Republican to field aggressive questioning in the public forum.

"Donalds, a close ally of President Donald Trump, defended the administration’s policies and positions as he fielded confrontational questions about Elon Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency, the #Israel#Hamas conflict, diversity, equity and inclusion, and more.

"However, he struggled to get through answers as audience members interrupted him several times to boo or shout at him."

[...]

"Before the town hall had ended, nearly half of the crowd had walked out, according to Gulf Coast News, while many others had been escorted out by deputies."

US Rep Kathy Castor's Tampa town hall draws protest, disruption over her support for genocide in Gaza

On the 15th of April, US Rep Kathy Castor (D-FL) held a town hall at Hillsborough High School in Tampa, FL. Protesters showed up outside and disruptors slipped inside and shouted down the event. Activists were furious about her very public support for the murderous IOF in Palestine. The AIPAC money she accepts is another point in contention.

Disruptors were NOT succcessfully spotted in advance, they were able to pick good moments and engage the event by shouting down the love of genocide. They were escorted out afterwards but at that point they were "mission accomplished."

Despite Grassley's dismissive answers, frustration boiled over as attendees highlighted his influential role on the Judiciary Committee. This instance underscores the growing unease around immigration policy. Read more: crooksandliars.com/2025/04/iow #Iowa #Immigration #TownHall #Politics
