Overview

• The 45-minute meeting at Daphne City Hall was not publicly announced or open to media and drew a hostile crowd that booed and shouted "shame."
• Moore, a House Freedom Caucus member who recently launched a U.S. Senate bid, took questions on immigration, Medicaid work requirements, election security, tariffs and deploying the Alabama National Guard to Washington, D.C.
• Abortion questioning produced the most sustained heckling after Moore stated he is "pro-life."
• He described the "Big Beautiful Bill" as President Donald Trump's tax cuts, a remark that drew immediate boos.
• Attendees chanted "Who pays the tariffs?" when Moore did not answer a question about who bears the cost of Trump's tariffs.
