At a town hall today in Hillsboro, Mo., Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) faced a rambunctious audience.

“I don’t understand this rudeness. Do you think you’re persuading people when you shout out like that?” she said when people tried to shout her down.

“I don’t know what else I can do. If you want me to go home…” she said. An audience member yelled back, “Go home!” but McCaskill continued the meeting.
