GOP lawmaker defends Trump tax bill to angry crowds at back-to-back town halls

An Iowa congresswoman touted her support for President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill in back-to-back town halls on Wednesday, even as members of the audience jeered and disrupted her speech.

"They were booing when I was saying, you know, ‘We're preserving tax cuts,’ and I can't believe people would boo tax cuts for themselves," Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

"I think there are a number of people who just show up to these town halls who want to disrupt. They didn't care what I had to say. They just want to boo and yell and be angry."

And there were a significant number of such people at both her town halls in Elkader and Decorah on Wednesday.
