Utah Reps. Maloy, Kennedy Face Chaotic Town Hall In Salt Lake City

(Salt Lake City, UT) — Utah’s newest members of Congress, Reps. Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy, held a town hall yesterday at the University of Utah, despite warnings from Republican leaders to avoid in-person meetings. A crowd of around 300 people interrupted the lawmakers, with many voicing frustration over President Trump’s actions. The event, which quickly descended into shouting and heckling, made it difficult for Maloy and Kennedy to address questions. While both lawmakers called for more oversight of executive power, their responses were drowned out by boos and chants from the audience.
