The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Friday that a revised organized effort was made with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), the State Democratic Committee (ASDC) and Democratic state parties to host city halls in Republican-owned areas.
“Republicans in Congress know that they sold out voters by supporting Trump-Musk’s agenda, and now they’re scared to be in the same room as the people who sent them to Washington,” DNC chairman Ken Martin said in a statement Friday.
Instead of facing their own voters, they fear and avoid the people they elected to represent. If they don’t talk to their own voters, then Democrats will. That’s why we’re going to hold people’s town halls in 50 states nationwide, starting now, starting with goals held by the weak Republicans, starting with target areas owned by the weak Republicans.
The NRCC said the protests to close Republican City Hall meetings were “made and made.” Fox News Digital reported last month on coordinated efforts to protest progressive groups Ministry of Government Efficiency.
