A town hall hosted by Rep. Byron Donalds turned chaotic Tuesday, with audience members repeatedly interrupting the Florida Republican, leading authorities to remove two people — the latest raucous town hall dominated by protests against President Trump’s administration.

Donalds, a three-term congressman running in next year’s Florida gubernatorial race, was asked a litany of often-testy questions, several of which focused on billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Audience members booed or cheered — and, in some cases, angrily left early — throughout the almost two-hour event at Estero High School in southwest Florida. Donalds occasionally verbally sparred with the protesters.

      Before anyone is a jerk to you, thank you. Every bit of support is important, especially moral support. Kindness helps more than most know

        i was actually hoping that people would realize that the “hopes” and “prayers” i’m not sending aren’t for your benefit. i figured the last sentence would make my statement clear, but apparently americans don’t see sarcasm any more unless you add a fucking tag at the end.
