Rep. Cliff Bentz (R) plays victim and justifies hiding from his constituents, who are justifiably mad about him voting for Nazi policies.

I was having townhalls, and my constituents turned out to be angry with my policies and decisions. So in order to not have to address their concerns I have decided to either have no meetings, or only meet with people than aren't mad at me...

Start making noise outside his house, I guess
There are other explanations than just rude people if you suddenly get loads of opposition...
Just another whiny ass politician
I don't like Bentz but I'd rather have my rep actually going to work and voting on/drafting legislation than doing town halls. His rationale isn't unreasonable, town halls are mostly a space for people to show up and vent, elections are the only time that venting actually counts for anything.
