MSNBC: Townhall Crowd Clamoring For Hegseth's Head Were 'Republican Constituents'—Proof?

Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend played a clip from a town hall in Indiana's 5th Congressional District, which both Trump and the Republican congresswoman carried easily.  Yet the crowd overwhelmingly and raucously cheered the suggestion that the congresswoman should demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's resignation given the Signal chat that mistakenly included a journalist.  Co-host Symone Sanders said the cheering crowd were district "constituents," and co-host Michael Steele took it a step further, saying they were Republicans. The show offered no proof of either statement. Did MSNBC make any effort to confirm the residence or registration of the crowd members? Was this authentic, or astroturf?
