Utah reps booed at town hall over impeachment questions

Two Republican representatives from Utah, Celeste Maloy and Mike Kennedy, faced a tough crowd during a town hall meeting on Thursday. Attendees voiced their frustrations with shouts of "shame" and "do your job." The event took place at the University of Utah and attracted a large audience, many of whom were eager to ask questions about recent executive orders from President Trump. Despite receiving advice to avoid in-person town halls due to rowdiness, Maloy and Kennedy chose to hold this meeting. They felt it was important to connect with constituents. However, many attendees were unhappy and expressed their anger over the issues discussed. Maloy noted that the two were among the few members of Utah's congressional delegation to hold a town hall during this period. Attendees had submitted over 500 questions in advance. One notable question, which received significant support, asked whether the representatives would support impeachment proceedings if the Trump administration continued to defy court orders. Maloy responded that she did not think impeachment was necessary, while Kennedy called for proper investigations to determine accountability. The atmosphere in the auditorium was tense, with interruptions and heckling from audience members. At one point, Kennedy suggested calling law enforcement to remove disruptive attendees, although no one was escorted out. Despite the hostility, both representatives expressed a desire to continue the dialogue with their constituents.
