Rep. Wesley Bell's town hall in St. Louis, Missouri, descended into disorder as pro-Palestinian activists repeatedly interrupted the event, challenging Bell's stance on Israel and accusing him of supporting genocide. Bell, who defeated a progressive rival in the Democratic primary, attempted to defend his views on the Israel-Hamas conflict and called for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, but was met with boos and accusations from protesters. Despite the heated exchanges, some attendees voiced support for Bell, especially when he shifted the focus to local issues such as gun violence affecting children in St. Louis. The moderator and Bell both urged calm and civility, emphasizing the importance of respectful dialogue in a democracy. Bell later thanked attendees for their passionate participation, acknowledging the complexities of democratic debate.
