A town hall hosted by Rep. Byron Donalds turned chaotic Tuesday, with audience members repeatedly interrupting the Florida Republican, leading authorities to remove two people — the latest raucous town hall dominated by protests against President Trump’s administration.
Donalds, a three-term congressman running in next year’s Florida gubernatorial race, was asked a litany of often-testy questions, several of which focused on billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Audience members booed or cheered — and, in some cases, angrily left early — throughout the almost two-hour event at Estero High School in southwest Florida. Donalds occasionally verbally sparred with the protesters.
Nothing says free speech absolutists like having to put your constituents in a chokehold during a public forum.
I don’t know about you guys but every leadership position I’ve had, I’ve always invoked wrestling moves to subdue dissent instead of listening to those I was supposed to serve.
I can’t wait to hear this guy hawking boner pills on Infowars in a few years.
This is why I’m advocating for my company to end its work from home policy. Muting someone in my team who is arguing with me just doesn’t have the same gravitas as choking them out.
Hilarious comment and beautiful sarcasm - thank you so much for sharing! I’m dying, LOL
