Republican Representatives Booed, Heckled at Multiple Town Halls in Alabama, Ohio

News summary

Republican Representatives Barry Moore of Alabama and Warren Davidson of Ohio faced intense backlash from constituents during their recent town halls over their support for President Donald Trump's economic and social policies. Moore was met with boos and chants demanding answers about who pays Trump's tariffs, and was heckled on issues including Medicaid cuts, immigration, and abortion restrictions, eventually leaving his event through a back exit to avoid the hostile crowd. Similarly, Davidson encountered frequent interruptions and boos while defending Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which critics said would cut Medicaid for hundreds of thousands, and he struggled to respond amid the fury over tariffs, government spending cuts, and the deployment of federal troops. Both town halls reflected widespread frustration among voters over the Republican agenda, with attendees accusing lawmakers of lying and ignoring the negative impacts of the administration's policies on working-class Americans. These confrontations are part of a broader trend of Republican lawmakers facing angry constituents during the August recess as they attempt to justify controversial legislation. Despite the hostility, some supporters cheered the representatives, though overall the events highlighted deep divisions over Trump's agenda within their districts.
