A campaign appearance by Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds descended into chaos Friday when a disagreement over how he addressed a transgender attendee sparked an explosive confrontation, with an angry woman repeatedly shouting obscenities at the congressman.
The heated exchange began with a question about the Jeffrey Epstein files but quickly shifted into a dispute over gender identity after Donalds referred to the attendee as “sir.”
What followed was a remarkable scene in which the Republican lawmaker attempted to continue answering questions while another attendee unleashed a barrage of profanity.
