Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman has criticized protesters who disrupted her recent town hall meeting, claiming their demonstrations were 'highly orchestrated.' The protests, centered around concerns regarding DOGE cryptocurrency, mirrored similar events occurring at Tesla dealerships across the country. Hageman, speaking with Fox News Digital, suggested the protesters were misinformed and their actions were not organic.
'It seemed like they were lost in the wilderness, not really understanding the issues we were discussing,' Hageman stated. Her office further elaborated, suggesting the protesters' focus on DOGE diverted attention from more pressing local concerns. The nationwide protests at Tesla dealerships also involve DOGE, with protesters demanding the company accept the cryptocurrency as payment.
While Hageman acknowledged the right to protest, she questioned the protesters' understanding of the issues and the seemingly coordinated nature of their actions. The situation highlights the growing tensions surrounding cryptocurrency and its role in the broader economy.
