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.

An email list used by House Democratic schedulers has been a flurry of activity over the past couple of weeks, with staffers complaining they’re having a hard time getting tickets for their bosses to the inaugural parade and ball.

Fuller said she wasn’t necessarily trying to get tickets for her boss but reached out to the committee in charge of inaugural festivities to see whether she would get the same response as other Democrats.

Democrats will pass their tickets along to Code Pink, BLM and other disruptors. Don’t trust them.

That’s hilarious. We need to start a “Fake Politicians” thing like Fake News. Someone should photoshop that saying onto pictures of dems.

We don’t need any troublemakers. So, why give them tickets.

Weren’t there many that stated they weren’t going to the inauguration? Something about an illegitimate President IIRC.

More than likely they want the tickets now to give to protesters, or if not giving them to protesters, then to have empty seats they can point to for propaganda purposes.

Democrats always have nefarious ulterior motives. Their snores lie.

I’ll bet they’d pass the tickets on to activist-clowns who would don KKK costumes, just like for the hearings on Sessions.

That is what I was wondering unless it gives them something to complain about. Bless their hearts.
