Rep. Maxine Waters will skip Trump’s address to Congress tonight and reportedly encouraged others not to attend as well.
.@MaxineWaters is skipping Trump's speech to Congress. Told caucus this morning that anyone who can't sit still shouldn't go, per sources.

Waters was one of nearly 70 elected Democrats who chose to boycott Trump’s inauguration. Some Democrats claimed they had other things to do that day, but most, including Waters, said their refusal to attend was about resistance to Trump. Waters began talking about President Trump’s impeachment even before he was inaugurated and hasn’t stopped since.
Talked to her at dnc meeting. She thinks party should be making more aggressive case for impeachment https://t.co/Twn0v32rJS

The Hill reports that Waters’ office confirmed she would not attend the speech but denied she was encouraging others not to do so. So far, she appears to be the only Democrat planning to boycott though Rep. John Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, “I don’t know what I’m going to do right at this moment.” Rep. Eliot Engel announced today that he will attend the speech but, for the first time in 29 years, he will not stand near the aisle to shake the President’s hand as he enters the chamber:
Meanwhile, Democrats who attend tonight’s speech are vowing to be dignified:
Overall attitude in Dem caucus, per Rep. Frankel – "We're going to be as dignified as possible … No one is going to yell 'You lie!'"

Politico reports Rep. Pelosi has vowed not to be out-classed by Republicans:
“I think we have to deal with this in the utmost dignity. We cannot become them; we don’t like what they did to our president,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said during a closed-door caucus meeting on Tuesday morning.
“We cannot be out-classed by Donald Trump, that would be the worst of all outcomes.”
Will Democrats manage to keep it together tonight even as Trump vows to dismantle Obamacare and increase military spending?
Good.The place won’t be polluted by the stench of this pompous turd.
Out Classed??? ROFL...Nancy you were outclassed the day you were born, you just don’t know it yet!!!
Good....go back to crypt.
The Dems want to be the silk purse but they’ll always be the sow’s ear.
A dead frog could out-class Nazi Pelousy
Great! any room without Maxine Waters (or Nancy Pelosi) is 10000 percent IMPROVED!
Good. Keep those two witches out. They are a disgrace to the Congress.
One, an ugly-a$$ idiot dumber than a cukecumber.
The other, a shriveled up old witch with alien life form eyes.
Those who are out-classed seldom know they are outclassed.
Go for it Nancy.
Not a classy move on Waters or Pelosi’s part....
FINALLY, she does something that I support! While she’s at it, maybe she should boycott the next 4 years.
LOL. Trump is living rent-free in her head if she's telling Dems in a closed-door meeting that being out-classed by Trump is the worst possible outcome.
Did Nancy put Maxine in charge of the Idiots ? LOL
Good riddance to bad trash! And shame on her constituents who keep re-electing her to Congress. She is a sh*tstain on the rest of us Californians
Well,she is the ideal candidate for the job.
Sounds like the Democrats are a Total Mess
“Nancy Pelosi vows Democrats won’t be ‘out-classed’”
FAR too late for that, Nan.
Need to include Sheila Jackson Lee from Houston. Also claims to be a poor politician.
And, she doesn't seem to know that the person who made up the term "sequestration" is Obama.
