GOP Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida faced frequent shouting from the crowd at a contentious town hall on Monday with a number of attendees asking critical questions about the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency. The congressman repeatedly asked the crowd to let him speak, saying, “do you want to yell, or do you want to hear?” At another point, he told one attendee that she was being disrespectful for disrupting. During the event, Donalds was asked what oversight he is imposing on Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency as a member of the House Oversight Committee – to loud applause, cheering and whistling. The reaction from the crowd was mixed throughout the event as Donalds received applause alongside boos at various points. “We actually have to let the DOGE actually finish its work. What they are examining right now is inefficiency in the federal system,” the congressman said. Donalds then began to say that President Barack Obama also wanted to look at inefficiency within the federal government during his time in office, attempting to draw a parallel between that and what Musk is doing – an assertion that prompted loud shouting from the crowd.
