Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., on Friday became the latest Democrat to announce that she will not be attending President Trump’s State of the Union address later this month -- amid growing Democratic plans to protest the event.

“Why would I take my time to go and sit and listen to a liar?” Waters said on MSNBC. “To someone who lies in the face of facts, someone who can change their tune day in and day out. What does he have to say that I would be interested in? I don’t trust him, I don’t appreciate him and I wouldn’t waste my time sitting in that house listening to what he has to say. He does not deserve my attention.”

Waters is the third Democrat so far to announce a boycott of the Jan 30. event, with Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., both saying that they would be skipping it too.

Do we really care if she and the other rats go to the State of the Union or not? I don't think so.

[butlerweave]

if she wears Black no one will see her ?

[Sarah Barracuda]

At least the room won’t smell like rotten sewage

[TruthWillWin]

She won’t be missed!

[rktman]

Awwww. Somebody pass the tissue. I said sobbing. 👹🍻🍿

[heterosupremacist]

Would her refusal to attend be a dereliction of duty?

[utford]

How would you be able to tell the difference?

[Dr. Ursus]

Reclaiming my time,Reclaiming my time!

[NEWwoman]

LOL!

[Stormdog]

I’ll donate the potted plant to put in her seat.

[Dacula]

If a Republican did this to Obama or any other dem president, they would be all over it and claiming how wrong it is to disrespect a President in such a manner.

[jazusamo]

Mad Max not attending is a big plus for everyone.

[mass55th]

Must be Maxine doesn’t like the way she looks in black.

[LostInBayport]

The real question is: will Sheila Jackson-Lee, the freed slave and congresswoman who camps out hours before the speech in order to be on camera greeting the president as he reaches the front row, do the same thing this year?

My hope is that she does, takes a knee in protest, loses her balance and falls over and rolls down into the well of the House like a giant bowling ball.

>>I’ll donate the potted plant to put in her seat.<<

And I’ll donate the James Brown wig to put on top:)

Agreed. If they don't attend, then they won't be a media distraction from the SOTU speech.

[bray]

If not for hate the Dems would have nothing to offer.

[Col Frank Slade]

Maybe she forgets to come back..

[50sDad]

Please keep your comments civil...Ms. Waters spouts enough lies and insanity that we can confine our attacks on THAT, rather than being personal about here, because when we do, we just give fodder to those who would paint us as racists and haters. Hate what she says, and expose it. That said...remember when a Republican stood up at the SOTU and called out Obama for being a liar? And the whining that went on for weeks about him being "disrespectful of the president." Hold on, while the Democrats get the irony.

Crickets

Sorry. What was I thinking?

[glenduh]

“why would I take my time to go and sit and listen... “
Ah... Because you’re an elected US Representative?

Wow! The crap that comes out of that woman’s mouth!
