The Kootenai County Republican Central Committee’s Legislative Town Hall in Coeur d’Alene took a tumultuous turn as attendees voiced concerns over various legislative issues, including the possible repeal of Medicaid expansion. Teresa Borrenpohl of Post Falls was forcibly removed from the event after making remarks against legislators and initiatives.
The situation escalated when Borrenpohl refused to leave and was physically removed from her seat, causing many audience members to become upset and some to leave entirely. The event’s emcee, Ed Bejarana, made controversial comments about Borrenpohl and continued speaking despite the commotion.
Several audience members protested silently with signs, adding to the tension in the room. The incident reflects a larger trend of divisiveness and anger in political discussions, as noted by attendee Ed DePriest.
