Hinson Faces Boos Over Trump-Backed Spending Bill

At a town hall in Decorah, Iowa, Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) faced significant boos and jeers as she defended her support for President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' a GOP-backed spending measure that has passed the House but is uncertain in the Senate. Hinson argued that the bill would extend Trump-era tax cuts, bolster military and border security spending, and reduce funding for programs like Medicaid and SNAP as part of the 'America First' agenda. Many attendees strongly disagreed, accusing Hinson of favoring high earners and challenging her claims on tax relief and border security. The discussion grew more heated when Hinson criticized Democrats for IRS oversight and inflation, prompting accusations of hypocrisy from the crowd. Despite the contentious atmosphere, Hinson maintained her support for the legislation and emphasized her commitment to transparency. The event reflects ongoing political divisions and contentious debates over Trump-era policies in Iowa.
