Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa fielded angry questions about Medicaid cuts and President Donald Trump's tax cut bill at a town hall in Parkersburg.
At one point, a woman shouted "people will die!" Ernst responded by saying, "people are not — well, we all are going to die."
While portions of the hourlong event proceeded respectfully and Ernst, a Republican, answered several questions without interruption, at other points members of the roughly 100-member crowd repeatedly interrupted her answers, booing her and calling her a liar.
