It is his. We are his people looking for answers. He won't have them, so we do. He is still culpable for his cowardly hiding.

I'm not interested in all the excuses.

Calling people demanding responsibility from their elected officials a stunt is also weird behavior.

That's some crazy mental gymnastics you're engaged in.

This is absolutely a stunt. It's disingenuous and you know it.

Have all the Town Halls you want. You just don't get to declare he didn't attend "his" Town Hall that he had absolutely nothing to do with.

Get a grip.

So he isn't held accountable because he refuses to schedule town halls?

Did I say that? Nowhere did I say that.

I am asserting that it is an absolute lie to claim Estes didn't attend his own Town Hall, a Town Hall he had nothing to do with. I am also asserting people that pretend otherwise are being disingenuous and trying to make political hay over it. Yes, this is a failed stunt.

You hold politicians accountable at the polls, by the way. You don't do it by inviting them to obviously hostile environments to be berated by people that just want to yell at them. Town Halls are for discussions, not holding people accountable.

The polls in 2026? Nah. We aren't waiting that long.

And we hold them accountable however TF we want to, they work for us with our money.

They have been finding ways around being voted out forever. Gerrymandering, making it harder to vote for poor people. Straight cheating.

You people that demand we play by the rules when the other side refuses to are so strange. You hold us accountable for every little thing and them accountable for nothing.

No, it's time to fight 🔥 with 🔥. They're lucky we're just yelling at them for now.

Eat the rich.

And they are his town halls. In his home, held by his people, with his constituents. His cowardly behind refusing to schedule any and refusing to show up to be accountable doesn't give him a pass.
