Barletta said he believes town halls have “become such, really, just targets…”

And there it is: The perfect GOP excuse.

For running and hiding from the very people they’re supposed to represent.

Who are livid that Republicans want to take away healthcare from their children.

To give a $600 billion tax cut to the Koch brothers, and hedge-fund managers, and Wall Street.

“We want to do town halls, but they’re just too dangerous now – and it’s all the fault of progressive thugs!”

With the extortion condition of “maybe we’ll do them again if Dems apologize for being such mean jellybeans!”

They should do that thing of going into republican districts and holding them, that was great.

The deomcrats should be intensifying the ‘adopt a district’ tactic. “Since your representative won’t show up to answer questions, I did.”

“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men – not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular.”

I love how they have all this concern about civility now that one of their own got shot.

The real Town Hall is November, 2018. Be there.

Republicans won congress on gun rights and violence. Now they are scared to do a town hall because of gun violence. Wow, the hypocrisy. Democrats have been fighting for decades to have some kind of rational gun control, and no support from republicans.

Or try passing some legislation that doesn’t fuck 90% of your constituents
What a concept
You might be surprised at the reception at the town halls then

Cutting off constituent access because your pro-gun policies worked…

Or they will “have” to hire an extremely expensive security detail to protect their precious asses from their constituents. At our expense, naturally. Refreshing to see how they deal with a real-world problem for one day. In other words, they can’t.
