Moore didn’t offer concluding remarks or bid good night to the rowdy crowd as they chanted “Shame!” during his exit.

Moore was repeatedly grilled and interrupted as he tried to respond to people’s questions that stemmed from their frustration over Medicaid cuts, rural hospitals, tariffs, immigration, abortion and the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C.

Respite came briefly when people appeared to approve of Moore’s comment that erasing history “is a bad thing” when he was asked about an ongoing effort to revise exhibits at the Smithsonian and efforts by the White House to ensure they align with President Donald Trump’s vision.

Asked what he viewed as Trump’s “most meaningful” accomplishment, Moore began praising his border security policies, which was met by laughter as town hall-goers jeered, “Next question.”
