"Angry constituents sent a Republican lawmaker in Alabama fleeing out the back door of his own town hall in what has become the latest congressional event to go off the rails in recent months. The drama began after Rep. Barry Moore's (R-AL) staffer announced that the congressman would take one last question on the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts, according to NBC News. One woman can be heard asking, Why aren't people getting due process? as another constituent recorded the event."
"Due process for a citizen and non-citizen are different, Moore answered as the room erupted in chaos. False! False! Lies! one man could be heard shouting. The crowd then erupted into a chorus of Shame! Shame! as Moore and his staff headed for the back door. Advocacy group Indivisible Baldwin County captured the entire 40-minute event in Daphne, a suburb of Mobile, AL, that they posted to Facebook."
