Marco Rubio on Why He Skips Town Halls: Activists Will ‘Heckle and Scream at Me’
Breitbart ^ | Feb. 27,2017 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 02/27/2017 10:56:31 AM PST by HarleyLady27

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) says he will not participate in town halls because political activists will “heckle and scream” at him to create a media spectacle for the cameras. “They are not town halls anymore,” Rubio told CBS Miami on Sunday. “What these groups really want is for me to schedule a public forum, they then organize three, four, five, six hundred liberal activists in the two counties or wherever I am in the state.”

Have a Skype town hall- let people into the room one-by-one, give them 5 minutes to state their business, broadcast it live, and then toss them out the window

He should come back to his office in Jacksonville sometime. Every Tuesday for the past 3 weeks, a group of about 20-25 old farts and lesbos stand out front of our office building chanting and protesting.

Last Tuesday there was 1 guy out there with a Trump sign so I made sure to go down and shake his hand.

Can't wait until tomorrow to see if they are going to show up again

We’re lucky he did not get the Presidential nomination.

Police can remove those interrupting and interfering with the planned program. Why is this not happening??

When this became the Left’s strategy, all GOP town halls should have been canceled by McConnell & Ryan because of safety concerns. Six people were shot dead at Gabby Gifford’s town hall in AZ by a crazy person, and it is obvious that many crazy people were at these circuses and no business was done.

Actually, Marco, I’m a life-long Republican and current Florida resident who’d welcome the opportunity to kick your scrawny little butt around the block for some of the cr@p you’ve been pulling.

Hiding only makes it worse.

The President of the United States has a rally on a Saturday...and a Senator is afraid to have a ‘town hall’???

What’s wrong with this picture???

Republicans are gutless and have NO spine or anything else for that matter...

Sen. Rubio may need to only have people that have been vetted and invited to his town hall meetings.

Make sure that all the town hall participants are Republicans, make sure they all live in Florida, make sure all the Rubio town hall participants are vetted and he can make sure all his town hall participants are friends with Marco’s mommy.

Marco needs to be smart about these town halls, he should announce fake town halls so protesters show up- wasting money and resources.

He’s a wimp—which is why he didn’t get the nomination.

Use the lefts tactics to advantage, use social media to announce town halls at moments notice- flash town halls, using GOP email lists within the geographical area, why deny constituents ability to speak with their representative.

Use same tactic against opposition as they use against us- find out when Democrat is speaking flood venue with conservatives.
