Another Republican town hall went off the rails this week, with videos emerging of angry constituents accusing Rep. Ashley Hinson of lying during a Wednesday gathering in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District.
Hinson was booed at the Worth County meeting as constituents expressed fierce disapproval and jeered while Hinson tried to defend her support for President Donald Trump's policies, particularly his marquee "Big, Beautiful Bill." Attendees confronted her about economic concerns, including wages and the cost of living.
In a video shared by American Bridge 21st Century, the crowd erupted when Hinson said the Republicans passed legislation that would cut taxes and lead to higher wages.
"Higher wages?!" one woman shouts in response. "For who?! For you?!" "Cost of living is higher than it's ever been!" another woman yells. As Hinson tried to calm her constituents, a man yells back, "Start telling the truth!" "Stop lying!" a woman repeatedly shouts, as Hinson calmly replies, "I look forward to your questions."

Less than 10 minutes into #IA02 Rep. Ashley Hinson’s town hall and she’s already getting called out for lying — proof that Republicans are failing to sell their Big Ugly law that guts health care to give tax breaks to billionaires.
