North Carolina GOP Town Hall Erupts in Chaos as Constituents Confront Rep. Chuck Edwards

A veteran's fiery outburst and widespread criticism of Trump administration policies highlight growing tensions at Republican town halls.

Rep. Chuck Edwards faced intense backlash during a town hall in Asheville, North Carolina, with constituents voicing anger over his support for Trump administration policies.
A veteran was escorted out after a profanity-laden tirade accusing Edwards of lying and disregarding veterans' rights, drawing cheers from the crowd.
The event saw over 300 attendees inside and more than a thousand outside, many protesting issues like federal job cuts, healthcare, and U.S. support for Ukraine.
Edwards defended his positions, including backing Trump's trade policies and budget resolutions, but was met with boos and jeers throughout the event.
The incident reflects a broader trend of contentious Republican town halls, with some GOP leaders advising against in-person events due to escalating tensions.
