Byron Donalds held an in-person town hall and spent two hours lecturing the crowd, defending Elon Musk's DOGE, and arguing with the people who elected him. When voters raised concerns about DOGE accessing their Social Security files, he shushed them and told them not to boo. He admitted he wants to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and when constituents disagreed with his foreign policy, he had sheriff's deputies escort them out. Nearly half the auditorium walked out before it was over. Now he wants to be Governor of Florida. We deserve leaders who listen.
