Asheville town hall, Rep. Chuck Edwards faced backlash from constituents over Trump administration actions in recent weeks.

Rep. Chuck Edwards, against the advice of House Speaker Mike Johnson, decided to brave a town hall in Democratic Asheville, North Carolina, and was subsequently destroyed by protestors. Recently, Johnson suggested GOP lawmakers forego town halls due to the unprecedented level of dissatisfaction among constituents.

The Arden army veteran who was escorted out of Republican Congressman Chuck Edwards’ town hall meeting Thursday night by a phalanx of law enforcement officers says he has no regrets about the expletive-laden tirade he delivered in front of a packed house at A-B Tech’s Ferguson Auditorium.
