Republican Sen. Roger Marshall faced boos and shouting during a Saturday town hall meeting in northwest Kansas which ended when he left early.
The event in Oakley, Kansas began around 9:00 a.m. local time, and lasted about 40 minutes, according to KSN. After experiencing disruptions, Marshall called out to those in the crowd who interrupted him as he took questions written on note cards from audience members, the outlet noted.
“I’m going to say this one time: if you all keep cutting me off, if you’re rude —which you’re being — I’m going to leave. The people from Oakley don’t deserve this,” he said. “If you’re going to keep interrupting me, we’re not going to do this. If you have a question, you can write them down and turn them in; my staff will get them all.”
Members of the audience continuously called out criticisms and questions throughout the meeting, according to the outlet. Marshall later said it was “one of the rudest audiences I’ve ever had.”
The meeting abruptly wrapped up after the crowd began discussing the Trump administration’s cuts to federal employment and funding freezes impacting veterans, KCUR reported.
“I want to thank you for coming out here, takes a lot of guts,” local Chuck Nunn said at the meeting, KSN reported. “But I think the way we are going about it is so wrong because there are unintended consequences.”
