No, Sen. Kay Hagan didn’t show up for Tuesday night’s debate in North Carolina, turning the event into a full-blown commercial for her opponent, Thom Tillis.

I'm pretty sure Hagan camp thought media would cover for them and cancel debate w.o. her participation. burned. #NCPol #NCSen

Wow. Kay Hagan really didnt show for the TWC debate. #ncsen #ncsendebate

I honestly thought Sen. Hagan would've shown up last minute. This is truly sad. I'm Just stunned she skipped this debate #NCpol #ncsen

"Empty Chair" Kay Hagan didn't show up to #ncsen debate tonight! Wow.

When it comes to "ways to know your candidate is losing," refusing to debate is up there with distributing flyers w/ a lynching on it #ncsen

Great PR move, @KayHagan. Skip a debate and give @ThomTillis a free ad to elaborate on all of his views. #Winning #NCSen #NCpol

It appears @KayHagan treats debates like she treats ISIS intelligence briefings. She skips them. #NCSen

Kay Hagan refused to debate tonight. However, Obama showed up and took her seat. #ncsen #eastwoodjokes pic.twitter.com/3tJusP3hhF

Thanks to the magic of Twitter, there actually was a sort of debate, kind of: Hagan’s press secretary and deputy press secretary were both busy little bees behind the keyboard, “fact-checking” Tillis on behalf of their boss.

Kay Hagan's team must be embarrassed. Candidate doesn't show up for debate & they're doing rapid response? Simply pathetic. #NCsen

This. MT @PeteKaliner: Hagan PR shop… y'all have no standing to comment in the #NCSen & #NCSenDebate during the debate your boss blew off.

Yet so many fact checks in my inbox MT @kasie: Hagan declined to attend tonight's #NCSEN debate. GOP candidate Tillis is taking questions.

What's sadder than @KayHagan's PR shop trolling #NCSen during debate she skipped? Not realizing how sad it makes them all look.

Ranking tonight's #ncsen debate winners: 1. Tillis 2. Our moderators 3. Hagan's empty chair 4. The pretty cobalt blue color of the backdrop
