Hageman Walks Out Of Casper Town Hall After Heckling Over ICE, Minnesota Deaths

US Rep. Harriet Hageman cut her Casper College town hall short Tuesday – leaving the stage about five minutes early after a tense Q&A that turned into jeers and a breakdown in decorum over ICE conduct and two recent deadly incidents in Minnesota.

Only about a quarter (or fewer) of Wheeler Concert Hall’s seats were filled as Hageman spent the first 40 minutes running through her work on the Judiciary and Natural Resources committees, wins on congressional appropriations for Wyoming and her support for March for Life events in D.C. and Cheyenne. She touted $25.8 million she said she helped secure for state projects – including $3 million for the Natrona County Airport, $1 million for the Northern Arapahoe water treatment facility, about $800,000 for Casper police vehicles and $1.75 million for a North Platte sanitary sewer project – and described the bills as a rollback to a “Republican budget.”
