U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) held a town hall meeting Wednesday night, where he was accosted by a small but vocal crowd of malcontents bent on derailing the evening with continuous shouting and booing due to his support for President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The meeting was held in Daphne, a reliably red area in Baldwin County that voted overwhelmingly for Trump in the last three elections. Indivisible Baldwin County, a chapter of the far-left, Soros-backed national organization Indivisible, encouraged its members to attend the meeting and afterward thanked them for their efforts. Tabitha Isner, vice chair of the Alabama Democratic Party, also praised the "team" for doing a "good job."
Still, leftists and the corporate media have tried to spin Wednesday’s town hall reaction as proof of a growing displeasure with Moore and Trump, by extension.
AL(dot)com, an outlet owned by Alabama Media Group, a subsidiary of New York billionaires Donald and Samuel Newhouse's Advance Publications, emphasized that Moore left through the back door of the event venue, a common practice of U.S. lawmakers and other prominent speakers.

The protesters’ antics even caught the attention of Ben Meiselas, host of MeidasTouch, a podcast growing in popularity among leftists and Democrats.
“That right there was in deep red Alabama. That was a MAGA Republican Congress member by the name of Barry Moore, who's also running for Senate in Alabama," Meiselas said. "And the people were letting him know what they think about him for ripping away their health care, destroying their jobs, destroying their state, and destroying this country.”
Moore sent the following statement about the town hall: “My constituents asked me to do town halls, so I did four across my district while Congress was out of session. We showed up, listened, and answered questions directly,” said Moore. “Alabamians deserve leaders who are willing to have tough conversations. I’ll always answer to the folks I serve. That’s what accountability looks like.”
