Chapter 1: What happened at Victoria Sparks' town hall?
That was the scene outside of MAGA Republican Congresswoman Victoria Sparks' town hall in Westfield, Indiana. And it got even louder inside as Americans from all political parties, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, people who weren't political at all, were letting Donald Trump and MAGA and the entire Trump regime let them know that

Once it was clear that she was just going to go on this glaze fest of Elon Musk and Donald Trump and not even answer questions. And I'm just saying this seriously. It was hard to even understand just what she was just being honest, like what she was saying. People left the event.
and just started walking out. Let me show you this moment. Play this clip.
Congresswoman, because she's going to get hit by lightning for all the lies that she's going to tell.

Chapter 2: Why are some town halls facing public criticism?
Now, a lot of MAGA Republicans or people who pretend they aren't MAGA Republicans, but they really are. They're not even holding the town halls like you've got Susan Collins, the Republican senator from Maine, who hasn't held a town hall in 25 years. She's missed. I'm clutching my pearls. How could Donald Trump do this? I'm so sad. I'm going to think about doing something about this.
Well, anyway, she didn't show up at a town hall that was held in her absentia and watch where the people there say, where have you been?
Play this clip. Indivisible says that Republican Senator Susan Collins, who represents the blue state of Maine, is up for reelection in 2026 and hasn't had a town hall for Maine voters in over 20 years. Here's what one voter asked Senator Collins' empty chair last night.
