A sea cucumber has more spine than johnson... he's telling gop reps to skip town halls, concentrate on smaller stuff like little community gatherings (just magats or all-out trump acolytes) and possibly tele-halls, because all the nasty people are really paid professionals hired by dems to grab a platform. Dems are constituents, too, and he's doing a great disservice to all of the regular republicans who are suddenly aware they might be impacted by trump's decisions when they'd thought it'd only be the brown-skinned folks and cheating dems, illegal immigrants and commies who would get what was coming.

running away's fine by me if it means it wakes enough people up for the dems to take the House in the mid-terms.The speaker protecting his thin-as-ever majority advised his lawmakers to choose other forums — smaller community gatherings or telephone town halls — to discuss the issues with voters.
“They’re running away from the people because they know how badly people have been hurt by what they’re doing,” said Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.
Rep. Greg Casar, D-Texas, and the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus said, “I think many House Republicans have to make a choice about whether they want to fulfill their job title as representative, where they can have a town hall and actually speak honestly to their constituents, or whether they want to change their job title to Elon Musk employee.”
