'Coward!' Republican booed out of town hall for refusing to condemn ICE killings

By Travis Gettys
Published January 28, 2026 1:50 PM ET

A Wyoming Republican walked out of her own town hall session to jeers from angry constituents.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) abruptly ended the event Tuesday evening at Casper College after students peppered her with questions about the recent killings of two Americans by federal agents in Minnesota during President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, reported WyoFile.

“I haven’t talked about that," Hageman said in response to a question about the fatal shootings. "I spoke about the Laken Riley Act because it was one of the bills that we passed. I haven’t talked about what was going on in Minnesota.”

The questions/issues are obvious. And they don't have passable answers ready. They could just not do the town hall and come out ahead, relatively speaking.

Is it just arrogance? Stupidity? Delusions?

Getting outside their news/caucus bubble is like a fish exiting water.

Getting close to time they become more concerned about their constituents over obeisance to Mr. trump. I'm thinking a lot of republicans will begin aligning further and further away from trump until the election, when they snap right back into place for him or (more likely) lose their jobs after getting voted out.

LARAMIE, Wyoming. —Wyoming’s U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman provided no new details regarding the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal workers during a Wednesday night town hall.
Her constituents, however, made one thing clear — they want answers. And many of them are angry.

More than 500 people squeezed into the auditorium of the historic Laramie Plains Civic Center. With each seat filled, including the balcony, residents crowded in the back and lined the outer aisles. Dozens brought signs. One carried a blue, pink and white flag. Some wore red baseball hats and brandished Hageman for Congress campaign signs.

Originally slated for a room a fraction of the size in another corner of the building, the event had been advertised as a “recap of the latest developments in Congress” with an audience Q&A to follow.

But before Hageman even reached the spotlit podium, she was greeted with a roaring “boo” as she walked across the stage. Supporters stood and clapped despite being heavily outnumbered ...

Maybe she should resign

Cardboard cutout with a rubber stamp. Note that her monologue sounds strikingly similar to that of icebarbie who barley recognizes any actual topic in the "conversation" . They have a script, they can't even think beyond it.
