GOP Rep. Barry Moore exits through back door after he is heckled at Alabama town hall

Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., exited a town hall in his home district through the back door Wednesday night after he faced relentless heckling in Baldwin County

Rep. Barry Moore, R-Ala., exited a town hall in his home district through the back door Wednesday night after he faced relentless heckling in Baldwin County.

Moore made the hasty departure after he responded to what a staffer announced would be the last question on the topic of the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts — as seen in a roughly 40-minute video from the advocacy group Indivisible Baldwin County — after he was repeatedly mocked and laughed at for his comments at the event in Daphne, a suburb of Mobile.

In the video, Moore did not offer concluding remarks or bid good night to the rowdy crowd as many chanted "Shame!"

Moore, who is running for Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s seat as Tuberville runs for governor, disputed that he had slipped out of the back door in an interview Thursday on “The Dale Jackson Show,” a conservative Alabama-based podcast and radio show.

“We left like any other event,” Moore said. “I think we tried to engage and answer questions, but unfortunately, it got hijacked.”
