Rep. Ashley Hinson faced mockery during a town hall meeting when discussing a taxpayer-funded retreat at Trump's golf resort. The GOP-held retreat reignited criticism related to the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution. Hinson's comments about her support for a controversial bill were met with jeers, particularly when responding to citizen inquiries about potential violations of constitutional provisions due to taxpayer money being funneled into Trump's business. The incident showcases the growing discontent among constituents regarding congressional spending and accountability.
I think the most important part of this is that my department has taken members off-site to have discussions that you can't have in Washington, D.C.
The crowd erupted with laughter when Hinson was asked about the retreat and the Emoluments Clause, and tried to reassure them that it couldn't possibly be a violation.
