Protesters Interrupt DeSantis as He Talks Ukraine, Ground Game in Iowa Town Hall

Fox News’ Jan. 9 town hall with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was almost over when a group of protesters interrupted him with chants of “No oil money!”

At least one was taken down by security while approaching the stage.

“Well, you guys, that was a mistake. You guys didn’t get that one right,” Mr. DeSantis said after the protesters were subdued before being escorted away from the stage.

Held at a convention center in downtown Des Moines, the event comes in the final leg of campaigning ahead of Iowa’s Jan. 15 GOP caucus—the first major event in the scramble to secure the Republican presidential nomination.

It came after a massive snowstorm blew across Iowa from the west, dumping at least 10.5 inches on Des Moines’ airport. In Florida, meanwhile, the stormy weather translated to tornadoes that tore through the state’s panhandle.
