U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) is setting the record straight over social media claims that he was “run off” by constituents at a chaotic town hall he hosted last night in Daphne, saying the event was “hijacked” by organized activists and ended on schedule after nearly an hour of questions.

“It was somewhat hijacked,” Moore said Thursday on WVNN’s “The Dale Jackson Show.”

“I think they knew we were coming, and they sent it out to all the leftist Facebook groups and things like that… We took questions, and finally my team [said] this is the last question… We left like any other event. I think we tried to engage and answer questions, but unfortunately, it got hijacked.”

Videos posted to social media from inside Daphne City Hall on Wednesday night show Moore being booed and shouted down with chants of “shame!” as he defended President Trump and discussed border security, spending, and taxes.

The event was publicly promoted in advance on Moore’s social media.

Moore, who has made a point of holding in-person town halls despite national GOP advice to favor tele-town halls, said the disruptions won’t change his approach.

“You know, we have a reputation for being the second most accessible Republican in all of Congress… town halls have been a normal thing. I did 14 of them my first year,” he said. “We want to be accessible, and I don’t mind facing the heat straight on.”

Moore also said the same agitators are showing up to cause trouble at numerous of his town hall visits.

“That was the third town hall within a few weeks I had done, and I saw some of the same faces, at least two of them I know,” he said. “So I don’t know if they were just trying to get a check from Soros and collect a little money or what.”

Moore argued the protesters drowned out Alabama voters who actually wanted answers on policy. Especially tax relief.

“I wanted to clear the air on the big, beautiful bill and talk about the ‘no tax on tips,’ the kind of things that we thought were good for the American people, and certainly for Alabama, people taking home $5,000 more a year to their bottom line,” Moore said.

“There were some people there that were really probably wanting to understand… but look, they’re yelling. They’re screaming at the top of their lungs.”
