House Republicans are being encouraged to avoid in-person town halls in favor of phone and livestreamed versions, advice that comes after constituents and activists rocked recent GOP events by expressing outrage about the Trump administrations dramatic moves to reshape the federal government.

National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) told House Republicans at a closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning that members should opt for tele-town halls or livestreamed events that can reach more people, rather than in-person town halls that can be hijacked by Democratic activists.

I think they just urged us to be more targeted and wheres, who were talking to, because its pretty clear that theyve got professional instigators, people that are showing up that are not even constituents, Burchett said. And its getting dangerous.

(3,986 posts)Have town halls in these very places and invite them to speak their mind. Be prepared to answer their questions, and give them information, similar to civics lessons, in a non-threatening, non-judgmental manner. They've been brainwashed since Reagan.
