They’ll just turn their tickets over to Code Pink and Black Lives Matter, who will turn the festivities into a s**tfest...or worse.

[lucky american]

During the Senate confirmation hearings you heard protestors in the background? Those functions need “tickets” to attend. Dem senators got those tickets and gave them to code pink. That was the only way they got in there.

House Democrats say they are having trouble getting tickets to inaugural festivities for President-elect Donald Trump, leading some to openly speculate it might be a sign of rancorous partisanship to come.

LOL! How do they POST this stuff with a straight face???!?

[nwrep]

I am certain many of them will give tickets to disruptors and activists. This denial of tickets is smart...

[Stayfree]

I think the Democrats who want tickets should first have to pass a competency test and a psychological examination to be administered by the Trump transition team...and the tickets are non-transferable.

[shhrubbery!]

The real reason is that organizers are wary of these Democrats slipping in their "Code Pink" and "Black Lives Matter" thugs.

Dem congresspersons do this all the time, i.e., abuse their privilege of awarding passes to constituents -- handing them out to professional disruptors instead. The disruptors hide their stupid banners and costumes under their clothes, thus are able to get past security.

I'll never forget the Code Pink crazy who got within inches of assaulting Condoleeza Rice with "bloody hands" at a hearing years ago.

Why would they want to go?

Probably for possible "Media Face Time" pissing and moaning about how the Nation was going down the tubes soon!

[YukonGreen]

There are two inaugural balls and another one for Veterans which makes a total of three. Of course, everyone who wants to attend will not be able to-No Room At The Inn.

Democrats will pass their tickets along to Code Pink, BLM and other disruptors.

Which could actually pose some danger to Trump.

[YogicCowboy]

They thought they had proprietary ownership of rancorous partisanship.

[eyedigress]

non-transferable, that the ticket.

Put names on them and match them to I.D.

Anybody using a fake ID gets arrested for forgery and ID theft.

[OrangeHoof]

Somebody’s lying. The Dems want to go. The Dems refuse to go. The Dems plan to boycott. The Dems plan to picket.

“’It is not normal,’ said Kim Fuller,...”

Democrats are not normal. The are extremists, and, frequently, criminals.

That is why they have lost both houses, the presidency, most governorships, and almost all state legislatures.

That outcome was only awaiting a candidate that would stand up to them and their politically-corrupted claim to being the new normal.

Their main purpose in going would be to somehow subvert the proceedings, perhaps dangerously so.

GOOD!! Keep the TROUBLEMAKERS away....they do no know how to act with CLASS!!!

[GreyFriar]

“Why would they want to go?” So that they can disrupt the festivities with their childish protesting.

[mrsmith]

“Fake News”
Pure and simple.
The Dems ‘speculate’ and the media makes it a headline. So sad.

[Vaduz]

House Democrats say they are having trouble getting ticket.

Guess they didn’t read the sign GO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS.

[Polyxene]

I didn’t think they wanted to go!

[Redleg Duke]

Yeah, how can the anarchists infiltrate and disrupt, if the DemocRATS can't provide them with tickets?
