During a recent town hall hosted by Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, one anti-Israel protester had to be escorted out after screaming at the congressman.
Donalds mixed it up with the woman before she was removed from the building.
“The Palestinians have voted for Hamas and they have not done anything to remove Hamas. So you want to have a shouting match with me? Let’s have a shouting match on the facts,” Donalds said. “The truth is, is that Hamas held elections one time. One time. And they never held elections again. Because they would prefer to keep the Palestinian people under their boots.”
“So if you’re going to ask who has blood on your hands, it is Hamas and it is the people that empower them…. That’s the truth. If you want to continue to have a shouting match with me at least come with the facts. Next question,” Donald told her, drawing applause from other members of the crowd.
However, the woman continued yelling at Donalds.
“What you’re doing is yelling now and you’re being disrespectful. You, ma’am, you are being disrespectful. And I will respect you. And I will honor the fact that you are here trying to get answers,” Donald said. “But if you’re gonna hold this thing up and be disrespectful, then it’s time for you to be removed. You can leave.”
The protester yelled “Free, free Palestine!” while being removed from the event.
Donalds is running for Governor of Florida in 2026.
