North Carolina GOP Town Hall Erupts as Rep. Chuck Edwards Faces Angry Constituents

Rep. Chuck Edwards was met with jeers, protests, and heated questions over federal job cuts, healthcare, and Trump administration policies.

Rep. Chuck Edwards held a contentious town hall in Asheville, North Carolina, where hundreds of constituents expressed outrage over federal job cuts and budget reductions.
The event saw repeated interruptions, including a veteran being escorted out after accusing Edwards of ignoring veterans’ needs and rights.
Protesters criticized the Trump administration's policies, including layoffs in federal agencies led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
Edwards defended his support for the House budget resolution and President Trump’s policies but was met with sustained boos and questions about his representation of all constituents.
Republican leadership has advised lawmakers to avoid in-person town halls due to similar confrontations, but Edwards chose to proceed, citing his commitment to accessibility.
