US Sen. Wyden spoke on Iran war, affordability during Medford town hall Friday
Hundreds turn out at historic Holly Theatre; event is briefly disrupted by anti-Israel demonstrators By James Sloan, Rogue Valley Times Visiting Medford’s Holly Theatre for his 1,163rd career town hall event Friday morning, April 3, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore, answered questions from his constituents ranging from serious topics such as the war in Iran and challenges for young adults and families all the way to who he favored in the Final Four national college basketball tournament. Around 250 people attended the event, almost filling the theater’s lower section. “I believe I’m looking out at the faces of democracy,” Wyden said in his opening remarks. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. is welcomed to the stage Friday morning for his Jackson County town hall at the historic Holly Theatre downtown in Medford. Andy Atkinson photo for Ashland.news Before the senator was able to dive into audience questions, around a dozen anti-Israel protesters stood up and began chanting and criticizing Wyden on multiple issues, including receiving funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), as well as what they alleged was his complicity in Israel’s ongoing occupation of Gaza. The protesters were eventually drowned out by the crowd as it sang the “Star Spangled Banner” in unison. The demonstrators were escorted out by Medford police officers, including one who was seen being dragged from the theater. A pair of protesters rise during the first question at U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s Jackson County town hall at the historic Holly Theatre in Medford Friday morning. The protest was short, and demonstrators were led out by Medford police. Andy Atkinson photo for Ashland.news “I sure wish that we could have more people who wanted to have a real conversation about the Middle East,” Wyden said after the protesters were led out. “I recently introduced a major bill that AIPAC is strongly opposed to; it’s called the AWARE Act, and what we would do is surge humanitarian assistance to Gaza, and (Israeli prime minister) Benjamin Netanyahu would face worldwide sanctions.” “This action was taken because Senator Ron Wyden has continued to show support for Israel and its genocide against Palestinians for years, both through his words and actions, despite constant calls, emails and protests telling him that we, his constituents, do not support this,” the Rogue Valley Pepper Shakers activist group said in a statement emailed to local media following the town hall. “Senator Ron Wyden is one of the highest paid government officials by the Israeli government’s lobby, receiving $1.3 million from AIPAC.” Protester Torin McKnight is removed from the Holly Theatre by police during the beginning of U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden’s Jackson County town hall Friday. Andy Atkinson photo for Ashland.news Wyden also addressed the war in Iran when asked about recent actions by the U.S. military to bring potential ground operations to the Middle-Eastern country. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore, responds to questions at the historic Holly Theatre in downtown Medford Friday morning. Andy Atkinson photo for Ashland.news “I think there clearly hasn’t been a plan and the reality is, how many of you were talking about the Strait of Hormuz six months ago?,” he asked, adding that he is heavily against recent remarks made by President Donald Trump on cutting American’s healthcare due to the war in Iran. “Trump looks like he wants $200 billion dollars more for the military; his first choice is to take it out of healthcare. I say, ‘Hell no, not going to happen,’” Wyden said to a round of applause. The senator also was asked about what he’s doing to keep rural Oregonians from leaving the area due to general affordability concerns and housing costs. “Through this Congress, basically all the tax breaks go to the people at the top. So what I’ve been doing is trying to find in every bill things that can go to rural America, rural Oregon and young people,” Wyden said. He answered other questions regarding setting term limits for Congress, education in Oregon and civil dialogue in the United States’ current political climate. Making his closing remarks, Wyden said, “This is the way it’s supposed to look, and there aren’t very many of these town meetings in America anymore, folks. Even some of my colleagues say, ‘Why do you do it, don’t people just yell at you?’” “I do it because this is what our founding fathers had in mind; we’ve got big, tough issues ahead of us,” he added. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore, responds to questions at the historic Holly Theatre in downtown Medford Friday morning. Andy Atkinson photo for Ashland.news Wyden, a former college basketball player for the University of California-Santa Barbara, said it was “classified” who he favors in the NCAA tournament. The Medford visit was part of Wyden’s 11-stop, open-to-all town hall tour from March 28 to April 3, visiting cities across Eastern Oregon, Central Oregon, the Columbia Gorge and Southern Oregon, with Medford being his final stop.
