"You don’t get to take away our rights" the man continued to shout. "You don’t get to do this to us!"
The audience in the room applauded as the man was removed from the room by law enforcement.
"You f------ touch me again and I’ll lay you the f--- out!" the man said before exiting the area.
Edwards later said on X that he had a "lively town hall with my constituents in Asheville."
