Ryan Nichols pleaded guilty to two felonies, including assaulting officers, and drew 63 months in prison. Trump pardoned him. When he interrupted Moran's Tyler town hall demanding due process, Moran later told the room some Jan. 6 prisoners were treated unfairly.
Rutherford says constituents who want a town hall will 'scream and holler, and act like fools.' His Republican primary opponent, Mark Kaye, launched his campaign with this: 'In 10 years of service, this guy hasn't held a single town hall meeting.'
Asked about Speaker Mike Johnson's plan for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, Wittman put a phone to his ear and pretended to talk. The camera could see his screen. There was no call.
The chairman of the House Appropriations Committee told constituents DOGE was 'pretty responsive' if you worked it right. His district lost weather service jobs anyway — and when Norman residents asked him to face them in person, his office said he was busy.
Joyce turned down an in-person town hall in early 2025, skipped the one his constituents held anyway, and holds telephone events where the president of Indivisible Blair County says his staff 'cherrypicks' the questions. His hometown paper has now twice asked his office for comment and published without an answer.
PolitiFact confirmed back in 2018 that Carter's last real town hall was in 2013. His office said the Gabby Giffords shooting was one of 'the many reasons.' When constituents held their own in 2025, his office called them 'the far-left Indivisible group.'
On September 23, 2025, Goldman asked Fort Worth business leaders to contact his office more — 'So challenge us.' About two dozen constituents stood outside the same building because they'd tried repeatedly and gotten no response. At the event he said it wasn't clear to him what the demonstration was aimed at.
Jack vetted 400+ federal candidates for AIPAC, deciding who the group should bankroll. Then he was Trump's White House political director. Now, in his first term, he flies the country interviewing House candidates and reports back to Trump on who deserves the endorsement — while his own primary was cleared with $2.2 million in outside money.
His last in-person district event was in 2015. When 300 people packed a Bowling Green church to talk to him in April 2025, he sent word that he 'will not provide a platform for orchestrated disruptions to create media spectacles.' They brought a cardboard cutout instead.
