PORTLAND, Ore. (Portland Tribune) — U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s Washington County town hall on Thursday, Jan. 12, was mostly civil, covering roads and bridges, social media and the war in Ukraine, save one woman’s outburst that saddled her with a few misdemeanors.
After she shouted questions out of turn during the public Q&A at the Conestoga Recreation and Aquatic Center in Beaverton - related to how much money of the Inflation Reduction Act was going to China, alluding to a laptop belonging to President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and calling Wyden a “Chinese operative” - the woman was escorted from the gymnasium.
After the meeting, law enforcement said she was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct and trespassing. The age and city of residence of the woman was not immediately available.
After the 10-minute interruption, Wyden covered a list of topics posed by the audience, including infrastructure, social media regulation and Russia’s war in Ukraine. Wyden hosts town halls in each county or Oregon, at least once per year.
Going into 2023, Wyden said his top priorities as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee are to fight against cuts to Social Security and Medicare; address fairness in tax regulation; and support penalties for large pharmaceutical companies that price gouge for medications.

” she was arrested on ‘suspicion’ of disorderly conduct and trespassing. “
Suspicion?
Infrastructure....building more road to kick the debt can down....
just like they did to the guy in Virginia at the school board meeting complaining about his daughter being raped in school!
I think there should be an amendment or something that allows for senators to be questioned.
As the kids say,”based!”
Arrested for talking out of turn.. wow is nor socialism wonderful in portlandia
...none of which were of any consequence, hence the woman's frustration.
I have lived in Oregon his entire career never seen him. But I just read his Wikipedia page, omg he was elected in a run off in 1996 with Gordon Smith by 18000 votes, AFTER
Bob Packwood was sent packing on an accusation of sexual misconduct. That was our second year of mail in ballots. They stole that election.
No new R governor or R Senator since.
Doesn’t sound crazy to me. Crazy is believing what we are told.
$20 says she is a LaRouche supporter. Nobody else seems to have the yarbles to challenge the leftist Neocon alliance to their face.
Hhmmm...maybe I know her...herquestions would never have been allowed and many of us know that.
POS who doesn’t even live in Oregon (lives in NY).
First amendment doesn’t apply in Oregon. Not allowed to embarrass govt officials.
