Rep. David Rouzer faces heated town hall in Brunswick County

BOLIVIA -- U.S. Rep. David Rouzer is the first Republican in North Carolina’s congressional delegation to hold a town hall this year, answering questions from a rowdy crowd in Brunswick County Monday afternoon.

Rouzer lives in Johnston County and represents the 7th District in southeastern North Carolina. He stood on stage in an auditorium at Brunswick Community College in Bolivia for two hours, his answers prompting a mix of cheers and boos – and some chanting – from the crowd.

One question came from a young girl. “There are kids in my class who are afraid their parents will get deported,” she said. “Why do you support that?”

Rouzer’s response: “The president and his team are focused on the criminal element, and they should be focused on the criminal element. The rapists, the murderers and the burglars that are on the streets should go home.”
