People packed the auditorium of a Pat Toomey town hall...without him in it!  Instead, they put up a literal empty suit in the front of the room:

Something similar happened over here with Darrell Issa. They had a Waldo cardboard cutout with his head on it:

Is it a no show at a town hall when it isn't the elected officials townhall?

Did Toomey's office set up the town hall? Cause I'm reading both Toomey & Issa's "town halls" were set up by protestor groups

Neither Toomey nor Issa set up those events. They were protests pretending to be town halls

My understanding though is that he will not host townhalls of his own. I get that it is unacceptable to just shout people down and not let them speak, but what is the point of even having district-level reps if they won't talk to people?

Honestly in most states town halls are a big waste of time. I'm sure he's having telephone town halls but really unless you have a small compact district there isn't a point to them
