This is a critical point everybody in the media should be amplifying:

💥 Dems have finally figured out that they need to take advantage of the vacuum GOP Reps left because they’re too damn cowardly to hold Town Halls! If you have questions or know folks who are disallusioned w/ their GOP Rep, share these upcoming DEM Town Halls! More dates to be added. Link below…
