[Swarming crowds and hostile questions are the new normal at GOP town halls]On Thursday, the Utah Republican Party settled on its response to the town hall drama: Don’t let it happen again. Just 19 Republican members of Congress have scheduled traditional town halls over the week-long recess. “I am not going to hold town hall meetings in this atmosphere, because they would very quickly turn into shouting opportunities for extremists, kooks and radicals,” Duncan said. “Concealed carry permit holders most welcome – don’t forget your ammo.”As it’s become clear that few members of Congress would hold town halls, Indivisible has designed contingency plans. Heritage Action, the grass-roots political arm of the Heritage Foundation, has done the same, and compiled a partial list of public town halls for activists.
