MSNBC guest on NRAs "top dog" Paul Ryan holding closed door town hall to avoid Parkland teens

According to host Joy Reid, the House Speaker, “did hold a town hall, but it was closed door and not in his district and rather far away from it, in Ft. Worth, Texas.”

“It was not about gun reform but about Paul Ryan’s most favoritest thing: tax cuts for the rich” she added, noting the survivors of the Parkland shooting last month have been pressing voters to attend congressional town hall and push lawmakers to explain their stance on guns.

“Paul Ryan, not holding town halls at home. going all the way to Texas to hold town halls about tax cuts. What does that say to you?” Reid asked Scot Ross, the executive director of One Wisconsin Now.

“It’s been 915 days since Paul Ryan held a town hall here in the state of Wisconsin,” Ross explained.”The reason he’s not holding these is because the environment is hostile for Republicans currently, and politically. Republicans like Ryan think they is bury their head in the sand and wait for it to ride out.”
