Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter of Alpine wasn't there, but a picture of his face pasted on a cardboard cutout of President Trump's body was. More than 150 people gathered at Cuyamaca College in El Cajon on Saturday for an event billed by liberal activist groups as an "empty chair" town hall when Hunter didn't respond to their invite. Nancy Roy, 66, of Ramona said she wasn’t really expecting Hunter to be there, but she was hopeful. Hunter had several other public appearances during the August recess, but not a town hall. His last town hall was in March.
