His constituents did not have the facts before the election or they would not have voted for him. Did any Republican from trump on down the ballot campaign on tariffs, doge, DEI abolishment, doing away with fema and on and on. I missed those campaigns.

He might have caught flak but he's in a safe district, and the fact that he had people removed shows he's more about order than listening. He does 'removal theater' to demonstrate what happens to those who challenge his party.
His district's only 22% Democratic, most of whom are probably in its cities of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Sanibel. He can hold town halls because he doesn't have to care.
