Yep:
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has warned Republicans against skipping their town halls and said that they must "have the guts" to take tough questions.
"If you don't have the guts to face your constituents, then you shouldn't be in the United States Congress," the former presidential candidate told CNN.
More than 200 GOP lawmakers have skipped town halls in their home states during the first recess amid a wave of voter anger over healthcare, jobs and President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia and conflicts of interest
"And if you need police at the meetings, that's fine, have police at the meetings, have security at the meetings," continued Mr Sanders.
"But don't use that as an excuse to run away from your constituents after you support repealing the Affordable Care Act, throwing 20 million people off of health insurance, doing away with preexisting conditions.
"If you are going to do all those things, answer the questions that your constituents have."
Sanders also said that we're just getting started with these Town Hall meetings:
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed Thursday that public backlash against Republican members of Congress since President Donald Trump's inauguration would reach its highest point yet.
Sanders told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" that more than 100 protests would take place around the country on Saturday demanding politicians meet with their constituents to hash out concerns over the Republican agenda after weeks of raucous town hall events.
"I think the Republicans have not seen anything yet," Sanders said. "If they're worried about the protests they're seeing, they're going to see more. This coming Saturday we believe there will be well over 100 protests, most of them in Republican offices around the country, district offices, demanding that Republican members of Congress meet with their constituents and answer the questions that their constituents have."
By the way, the GOP now has a serious fear of Sanders’ influence on millennial voters so this is their
lame attempt to win them over:
This week marks a celebratory moment for attendees of CPAC — the first such conference since Republicans captured both branches of Congress and the White House this November. But beneath much of the enthusiasm, some conservatives here acknowledge they’re also worried that their recent victories could be undone by a generational shift toward the left.
After all, “democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders won more votes from those under 30 than any other presidential candidate in primary history. Donald Trump is wildly unpopular with people under 30 (they disapprove of his job performance by a 67-25 margin, according to Pew), and millennials will soon be the country’s biggest voting bloc. And polls show that, for the first time ever, young people are more supportive of “socialism” than “capitalism.”
Conservatives and free market adherents are well aware of the trend-lines — and wrestling with their response.
On Thursday, 23-year-old Jonathan Stack was at CPAC with a group of young conservatives called Turning Point USA. Dozens of Turning Point students milled around the convention hall, wearing matching T-shirts with “Socialism Sucks” written on the front in Sanders’s iconic font and style. The Bernie-themed shirts serve as a way of drawing young people into a conversation that can become an explanation of conservative and free market principles, Stack said.
Yeah, good luck with that. In the meantime, help Sanders keep up the resistance. Click here to find an ACA rally to attend on Saturday.
