Giffords's husband to GOP rep: Don't 'hide behind' my wife's shooting to avoid town halls

Former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords' husband says Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) should not "hide behind" his wife's shooting to avoid town halls.

"If he doesn't want to do town halls, he should just say he doesn't want to face his constituents," Mark Kelly said Friday, according to CNN. "He shouldn't hide behind Gabby."

Now that its clear what the progressive strategy is it'd be a good idea for the GOP to start encouraging counter protests at these town halls. Maybe restart the old Tea Party thing.

No sense in conceding the field without a fight.
