“I am pissed, and I’m pissed at you,” a man who identified himself as Fred Higginbotham told Alford at a town hall on Monday as he urged him to study the Constitution “and get Trump out of office.”
Trump, he said, is a “dictator.”

“I listened to him for about a half hour today, and I got sick at all the lies he brought up,” Higginbotham said, later adding: “You need to take your head out of Trump’s ass and start doing your representation of us.”

Many in the room cheered.
Higginbotham also spoke of his own struggles, saying he was about to lose his farm, and urged Alford to increase taxes on large corporations and the wealthy:

Alford, however, is planning to hold 15 town halls this week, according to Kansas City’s KSHB.
