After much demand, U.S. Rep. William Timmons to host telephone town hall
SOUTH CAROLINA, S.C. (WSPA) — U.S. Representative William Timmons (R-SC 4th District) is set to host a telephone town hall on Tuesday night.
The event comes less than one week after the congressman referred to town halls as a product of the South Carolina Democratic Party.'These so-called 'town halls' orchestrated by the SCDP are nothing more than staged political pep rallies for their left-wing agenda,' Timmons said. 'I am focused on delivering President Trump's America First agenda, not performative gatherings.'
Rep. Timmons announced his plans to host a telephone town hall on Monday night, following President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.
'Looking forward to speaking with you and answering your questions,' Timmons said on social media.
According to Merriam-Webster, a town hall is defined as an event where a 'public official or political candidate addresses an audience by answering questions posed by individual members.'

A recent billboard in Greenville claimed the last in-person town hall held by Timmons was more than three years ago.
Greenville City Council At-Large Representative Russell Stall said that while he is not affiliated with the group behind the display; he is concerned.
'Our biggest responsibility and our biggest privilege is listening to the voice of the people,' Stall said. 'I am very concerned that we are not seeing that here.'
The advertisement directed readers to a website that criticizes Timmons' decisions and alleged lack of involvement with his constituents.
On April 22, U.S. Representative Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th District) held an in-person town hall at Wofford College.
People travelled from across the region to hear answers they feel they have not gotten from Congressman Timmons, who represents the district. Clyburn even criticized Timmons for not holding an in-person town hall.
The town hall is slated to start at 5:45 p.m. Constituents interested in speaking with Rep. Timmons can sign up online.
