A Republican town hall meeting erupted in a furious showdown after Rep. Chuck Edwards’ (R-NC) Asheville constituents grilled him over President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and Ukraine dealings — before the chaos spilled into the streets with protesters chanting: “Deport Musk!”

The meeting, held Thursday, escalated quickly as constituents put Edwards on the spot over the actions of the Trump administration.

It all started when an audience member hit the congressman with a barrage of blunt questions.

“Do you support the annexation of Canada and/or Greenland?” he asked. “And this is a yes or no question, I don’t want you to wander off into the woods, I don’t want to hear about your latest week in your office … so I’m trying to get your opinion on this as a yes or no.”

He continued as the crowd applauded: “Do you support Trump on annexing Canada or Greenland, and do you like the way he treats the premier or the president of Canada, calling him ‘governor’? Is that the way you’d do as a diplomat? Is that, is that the way the United States should act to our closest neighbors?”

The constituent continued: “Do you enjoy the way he’s tried to extort minerals from the Ukraine? Do you like bullying people that need your help? Do you go for kicking the guy when he’s down? Do you support Trump in these things? This is a yes or no.”

After attempting to navigate the list of questions, Edwards conceded: “The short answer to that is no, I do not.”

A lukewarm smattering of applause followed. But when he backed Trump’s stance on extracting resources from Ukraine — framing it as a way to recover the billions sent in aid — the crowd snapped and jeered.

Later, as Edwards talked to the crowd about his decision to vote “yes” on the House budget resolution, the attendees started booing again.

“And you wonder why folks don’t want to do town halls anymore?” Edwards joked.

In response, a man in the crowd stood up and identified himself as a veteran before unleashing a profanity-laced tirade against the lawmaker on stage.

“You have nothing to say but lies,” the man shouted, prompting laughter and cheers from the audience. “You’re lying. I’m a veteran, you don’t give a fuck about me.”

Even as security moved in, the man continued his outburst.

“You don’t get to take away our rights,” he yelled as four security officers surrounded him. He kept shouting as he was escorted from the meeting.

“Fuck you!” he yelled as he was led toward the exit, his words met with more applause and cheers from the crowd.

Even as he was being removed from the auditorium, the veteran continued railing against the lawmaker. “You don’t get to do this,” he shouted before disappearing through the doors.

Outside, the uproar continued. A large overflow crowd — captured on video by retired Air Force veteran and former Democratic congressional candidate Moe Davis — erupted into chants of “Deport Musk!”

The wild scenes underscored just how volatile town hall gatherings have become for Republicans who are bracing for a midterm cycle marked by grassroots anger and unpredictable confrontations.

House GOP campaign chief Richard Hudson warned his colleagues this month to reconsider in-person events, claiming Democrats are deliberately disrupting town halls to manufacture viral moments. No evidence has been provided for that assertion.
