Two Georgia Dems plan to skip Trump's State of the Union
Source: The Hill
Two Georgia Democrats are planning to skip President Trump's State of the Union address next week.
The offices of Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson confirmed to The Hill Thursday that they would not be in attendance on Feb. 5.
I have a problem with defiling the Speakers chair in the House of Representatives, Johnson told AJC. I dont want to see it lowered, as is what happens when Donald Trump comes to our floor and starts talking about groups of people, particularly Latinos, and disparaging them as a people.

Civil rights hero Lewis is continuing his standing boycott of Trump's speeches.

(51,775 posts)The Union but during the Obama Admin I stopped watching too since I almost had a heart attack from shear anger. Watching the fucking GOP asses "boo" him or sit on their hands pissed me off too much. I decided I would never watch again.

(23,300 posts)I thinks dems should boycott his speech since it will be 100% lies and hate against them anyway. He will define them as all but traitors and tell people to vote Repug or "illegals" will flood the USA and take all the white women and sell them into slavery or some equally outrageous BS.
I will not watch - period the end. I will watch the Dem response but will not give orange assmouth one minute of my time. Wouldn't it be awesome (although unlikely) if more people watched the Dem response than watched him?

(6,827 posts)red cards go up. Bloviating? Yellow. Bragging about all of his "achievements"? Blue. Sentence or concept makes absolutely no sense? White.
The House Chamber would be a constantly changing color display.
