In New York, a GOP congressman is shelled with questions about Trump during raucous town hall

  • U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler held a raucous town hall on Sunday night in his suburban New York swing district where voters questioned him about Donald Trump's agenda.
  • Lawler called the event to engage voters but faced criticism amid party concerns over viral backlash and Republicans avoiding home districts after Trump's early presidency months.
  • The nearly two-hour event featured attendees chanting and jeering, notably when Lawler mentioned Robert F. Kennedy Jr., leading to law enforcement removing a woman amid chaotic boos.
  • Lawler said, "This is what democracy looks like," acknowledged mixed reception, and noted his appreciation for attendees despite some dissatisfaction with his answers.
  • The event highlighted challenges for Lawler, a moderate who won a second term and plans more town halls, as he navigates voter frustration and speculation about a gubernatorial run.
