Heckled at Daphne Town Hall, Rep. Barry Moore Leaves Through Back Door

The Senate candidate later rejected accounts of a back-door exit, calling the unadvertised meeting hijacked.

Overview

  • Video posted by Indivisible Baldwin County shows Moore departing without closing remarks as attendees chanted “Shame!” at Daphne City Hall.
  • The 45-minute session was not publicly advertised or open to the media, according to local reporting.
  • Constituents pressed Moore on tariffs, Trump’s tax plan, Medicaid, immigration and abortion, chanting “Who pays the tariffs?” when he dodged the question.
  • On a conservative radio show the next day, Moore denied slipping out and said the event was taken over by agitators as he insisted he left like any other event.
  • Moore, a House Freedom Caucus member running for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s seat as Tuberville runs for governor, saw turnout boosted by organizing on the Baldwin County Democratic Facebook page.
