Sen. Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, faced strong inquiries at Friday’s Town Hall, where her voters’ support for a large bill that was controversial to President Trump has sparked shouts and booed by community members.

The first spokesman asked Ernst a softball question, telling the National Guard veteran that his only request was that she would become a guest speaker for the American Legion next year.

But the one-hour meeting in Butler County, Iowa is approaching and the tenor quickly shifted. The crowd became more and more nervous, and Ernst showed flips and defense.

Ernst has been repeatedly chocked with questions about the Thousand Pages Act, with many attendees focusing on proposed safety net cuts, such as Medicaid and SNAP. Ernst defended the bill, believing that those who were removed from these plans would be eligible to benefit from it first.

"When you argue about the unincorporated persons who are getting Medicaid benefits, there are 1.4 million people (people) ... they are not eligible, so they will stand out."

Someone in the crowd yelled, “People will die.”

"Well, we'll all die," Ernst replied. "For heaven's sake, guys," she continued with a smile.

The crowd was already hostile to Ernst and a roar of disapproval broke out.

The Republican Budget Program is a comprehensive legislation that will provide substantial tax cuts and funding for social programs, including Medicaid and food aid.

A version of the bill was almost passed in the House earlier this month - with a final vote of 215-214.

But the bill faces some more corresponding concerns in the Senate about legislation, including: extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts — with roughly $3.8 trillion cuts overall, primarily for the nation’s highest incomes; raising the national debt ceiling by $4 trillion; and expensive expenses for asylum seekers and sponsoring unaccompanied minors.

As in writing, the bill is expected to increase national debt over the next decade.

The bill is now underway for a reconciliation process – a complex Senate process that allows Republicans to avoid bans from democratic lawmakers and pass the bill with a simple majority.

Back at Town Hall in Iowa, Ernst continues to stand out from voters in support of her support for these changes.

In another intense exchange, a man (identified himself as a Navy veteran and retired school principal) baked Ernst over Trump's authoritarian way of governing.

"Are you afraid of Trump? Are you as corrupt as Trump? Or do you no longer care, which is why you do nothing?" The man asked to cheer.

Her response sparked another round of yelling disagreement.

"Obviously I disagree because I don't think our country has been destroyed," she said.

After the event, Ernst posted a message to social media, showing off the turn of the event at the City Hall.

“"Thanks for coming to my town hall in Parksburg today. I always love hearing letters from voters and sharing my work to cut the government's traditional tape festival for you," she wrote.
