Helena, MT – Transplant Tim Sheehy wasn’t just a trainwreck on the debate stage – his whole day was a disaster. 

Protesters greeted him at the debate and called him out for his disparaging comments about Native Americans, his event with Charlie Kirk was disrupted by multiple attendees who called out questions to him (including Gallatin County-based financial expert Marc Cohodes), and a mobile billboard parked right outside of the debate blasted details about his pure privatization health care plan.

Get the quick recap of Sheehy’s disastrous debate day below: 

  1. Sheehy was met with protesters calling out his offensive and disparaging comments, making it clear that Sheehy had lost their vote. In response, Sheehy called the Native protesters “maniacs”:

 
 

2. Sheehy’s event with Charlie Kirk was disrupted multiple times by Montanans who called out their questions to him, including Gallatin County-based financial expert Marc Cohodes, who questioned Sheehy about his many business lies and his company’s financial standing:

 
 

After being forcibly removed from Sheehy’s event, Cohodes spoke with NBC Montana about Sheehy’s business lies and struggles:

 
 

3. mobile billboard parked right outside of the debate blasted out the grim details of Sheehy’s pure privatization health care plan, and how it would shutter 49 rural hospitals:

 
 

It’s no wonder that Sheehy’s debate performance was a mess. From health care to public lands, Tim Sheehy doubled down on his damaging policy positions that will hurt Montanans, while Senator Jon Tester made it clear that politicians should never interfere in our personal health care decisions.
