Florida Rep. Byron Donald vowed to Fox News that he “will not be threatened by any of these protesters” after being captured on video for locking up a woman screaming about Israel at the town hall he hosted this week.
The footage showed an individual escorted by security at Estero High School in Florida on Monday night. Donald, a solid ally of President Donald Trump, is led by the success of Florida Governor Term DeSantis.
“This is why Donald Trump supports me as Florida’s next governor, because I am not threatened by any of these protesters, anywhere, anytime, anywhere in my audience,” Donald appeared on “Hornity.”
“Members of Congress should not be threatened by these people. They want to scream out you to try and distract you from how they left America to the bottom of the pit because of their horrible policies and the terrible president of Joe Biden,” he continued. “We shouldn’t hold back on it. We should stand head on. If they’re rude and rude, we’ll kick it out of the room, that’s not that easy.”

Donald also said “they are organised about local Democrats entering the Council’s City Hall,” and he said he has never seen that much in his event.

“That’s fine. If they want to show up now, you’ll hear the truth, you’ll hear the facts. You’re not going to hear the Democrats’ talk points. You’re not going to hear the spin, and they scream you, turn your positions, turn your positions, oppose the rights, add Israel, add Israel. “That’s what they want you to do.”
“But when you don’t bend your will, they scream and they get upset like last night,” Donald said.

Donald later shared the Fox News segment on his X account, writing, “All Republicans should keep City Hall to stand up directly against them.”
