Tensions run high at pair of town halls hosted in red Nebraska and blue Maryland

Two congressional lawmakers, one Republican and one Democrat, from vastly different states fielded heated questions from constituents Tuesday night, with both in-person events seeing tensions running high as attendees expressed outrage over recent moves from both parties.

Reps. Mike Flood (R-NE) and Glenn Ivey (D-MD) held town hall meetings in their respective districts to address voters’ concerns. However, both events saw attendees shouting over each other and, at times, the lawmakers themselves.
