Republican Rep. Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma on Wednesday night defended her use of remote town halls after a constituent on the call confronted her and accused her of dodging voters.
The question came from a constituent during a telephone town hall event featuring Republican Reps. Jason Smith of Missouri and Bruce Westerman of Arkansas, who each chair a House committee.
“Without dodging my question or giving me the okey doke, can you tell me why you are not holding in-person town halls, where you can look your constituents in the face, eye-to-eye, and answer tough questions?” the caller said.
