Summary
Andy Harris rebuked a woman as "rude" during Tuesday's debate in Cambridge after she laughed while the Maryland Republican discussed diesel prices during the U.S.-Iran war.
Harris argued diesel costs had risen because of Democratic environmental regulations, then invoked the First Amendment as he tried to continue and told a second audience member, "You are rude too."
Moderator intervention followed, with Dan Schwartz asking supporters to stay "polite and respectful" so both candidates could be heard.
Harris, who has represented Maryland's 1st District since 2010, is seeking re-election against Schwartz and later said the disruptions were coming only from the other side.
