Asked why NRCC Chair Richard Hudson told members to stop holding in-person town halls, Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson went on for a bit complaining about Soros paying people and “Now I’m not saying everyone, all the Democrats, in these uh, town halls that you see on television” claiming they’re from outside the districts and blah blah blah before answering the question more directly with “Why would we give them a forum to do that right now? The best thing our members can do is communicate directly, frequently, consistently with their constituents and there are other avenues to do it than just going in to try to give the other side sound bytes. They’re just doing it for the cameras we all know it and I think it’s wise not to play into it right now.”
More plainly he just said the protests have been effective without saying they’ve been effective.
