The man’s name is Austin Sissel, 28, and, at an event in Sioux City, Iowa, he is screaming about net neutrality. Bush, who 30 seconds earlier was going into intricate, exhausting, stuttering detail about how he took on the teachers unions in Florida, had been speaking to a room full of supporters at Bev’s on the River, an upscale but still homey restaurant with a lovely view of the Missouri River that separates Iowa and Nebraska. He was taking questions from the audience and mentioned that he only had time for one more.
Sissell, who had asked a question already, blurted out, “What are you going to do about net neutrality?” Bush, after a moment, wearily trudged out a long, dutiful answer about free markets and government staying out of private business, a wonky, tech-heavy discourse that seemed to baffle the almost-exclusively elderly audience. But Sissell apparently didn’t like the answer, because he began shouting nonsense. “What are you doing about stalking people on Facebook? Why can people just go after anyone? Can’t you stop the stalking?”
Now, I had met Sissell before the event began, when he showed up with a baby goat. Read more.
