Town Hall Rabble-Rousers Repel Marco Rubio
Republican Sen. Marco Rubio explained Sunday why he hasn't been participating in town hall meetings, which, he said, were aimed only at allowing activists to "heckle and scream" at him and not at discussing ideas.
"They are not town halls anymore," Rubio, who was recently criticized by some for skipping town halls planned by Miami's chapter of the national Indivisible Movement, an anti-Trump group, told CBS4-Miami's Jim DeFede Sunday.
"And I wish they were because I enjoy that process very much," the Florida Republican said. "The problem now is, and it's all in writing, I'm not making this up, 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."
