Since getting his start in politics Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) has been an absolute FORCE, and quickly cemented himself as one of the top Republicans for years to come – and this video shows exactly why.
Donalds – who is poised to become Florida’s next governor in 2026 after recently announcing his candidacy – has never been shy about having open debate with BOTH likeminded individuals and those with differing views.
Earlier this week he attended a town hall event at a High School in Florida where a small group of radical leftists decided to show up and make it known that they’re not exactly fans of his (likely after being paid by the DNC to do so.)
Donalds was calm cool and collected as always when one female protester started screaming at him about Gaza.
Donalds didn’t get angry – he didn’t retreat – instead he handled the woman perfectly with a dose of facts.
But when it became clear the woman didn’t care about the facts, and was just there to screech at him, Donalds was even more impressive with his response.
“If you want to have a disagreement, let’s have a disagreement. But when you are going to stand and yell and disrespect everyone in this room, because you think you’re being heard, and let’s be clear, you’re not,” Donalds said.
He continued, “What you’re doing is yelling now, and you’re being disrespectful. You, ma’am, you are being disrespectful. And I will respect you. And I will honor the fact that you are here trying to get answers.”
“But if you’re gonna hold this thing up and be disrespectful, then it’s time for you to be removed… You can leave,” Donalds concluded.
Byron Donalds proved here why he has risen through the ranks of the GOP so quickly and why he has such a bright political future ahead of him.
Watch the video here to see him impressively handle this paid agitator who was sent to derail his town hall.
