Rep. Lauren Boebert employs a new tactic in order to avoid being grilled by constituents at town hall

4. Rob Wittman, VA-01

Wittman has employed the phony “telephone town hall” since early 2011. A couple of times a month he ventures into the district ( 2-hr drive from DC) where he stops very briefly at a cafe or school or office for a photo op which he splashes all over his Facebook page to leave the impression that he’s all over the district. He’s not.

He comes to the district for local Republican meetings where his attendance is not announced until the last minute.

Most of his trips out of DC are all-expense paid fancy fishing trips, hosted by defense contractors.

His staff shows up at his district offices to meet with constituents but that’s about to stop since few weeks ago when the staff was overrun by literally hundreds of pissed-off constituents demand that Wittman show up. His response? He held a “tv call-in town hall,” where the questions were screened and callers with tough questions were cut off.
