Most candidates want as much publicity as possible. Why should it be different in this venue? ...Something to hide, Mittie?

It's seriously plutocratic behaviour to eliminate the public to preach a different message to the upper class.

It's a danger sign for democracy.

Just broadcast the event, say by a portable radio used for managing the "security" of the event. Someone else records the broadcast.

Plausible deniability.
