Republican Congressmen have indeed been canceling town halls, but the reasons are more complex than just "angry Democrats." Many are dodging public forums due to intense pushback from constituentsâboth Republicans and Democratsâover contentious issues like Trumpâs policies, federal spending cuts, and the influence of figures like Elon Musk. House Speaker Mike Johnson even advised GOP members to avoid in-person events, citing disruptions by "professional protesters." While some blame Democratic activists, the anger spans party lines, with voters frustrated by a lack of accountability. Fear of Trumpâs base and potential primary challenges also keeps them in line, amplifying their reluctance to face the public.
