At an event with White House adviser Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday, a woman was told to “shut up” after she accused President Donald Trump of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare.
The confrontation occurred during Attorney’s General William Barr’s rollout of an elder fraud program in Tampa, Florida while Conway was speaking.
Tampa Bay Times correspondent Anastasia Dawson reported that the woman was told to “shut up” and “sit down.” According to reports, Conway did not directly answer the woman’s question.

And we have a heckler! Woman in crowd quickly told ‘shut up, sit down’ when asks: why @POTUS cuts Medicare, SS? @KellyannePolls: I’m sure that will make you a super star 2night but I’m here for the seniors. it’s easy to be loud, it’s far more difficult to do something about it.
